It's All About Who You Know

Getting your start in the film industry is notoriously difficult. Many of those who trained with 2nd Team have progressed and gone on to work in other departments on set including VFX, ADs, Camera, Sound, SFX and Grips. Standing in gives you the chance to be there, meet the people of influence and learn which department might best suit you.

"I wanted to get into the film industry so I invested in myself and did the Stand-in training with 2nd Team. I've been working solidly now for the last 6 months on my dream production. I never thought I could progress so quickly!"
— Gabriella, Stand-In
