About this Event
About this event
Could you, your young person, or someone in your family have a future working in the creative industries?
Get On Set: Family Edition is a FREE one-day experience delivered by Crew Gal Creative House, designed for parents, carers, grandparents, older siblings and young people to explore screen industry careers together.
From camera crews and production teams to social media content, digital storytelling and studio production — there are more opportunities behind the scenes than most families realise. This session is designed to show you what those opportunities actually look like, and how to start moving towards them.
No experience needed. No industry knowledge required. Just come as you are.
What happens on the day?
You'll get hands-on with real equipment and explore how screen productions come together from the ground up. Activities include:
- Setting up a mini studio environment
- Exploring lighting and camera positioning
- Learning filming and framing techniques
- Understanding how online content is created professionally
- Trying equipment used in real screen productions
You'll also hear from industry professionals about the wide range of jobs that exist behind the camera — from camera operators and lighting technicians to editors, production assistants, sound crews and content teams.
What's included — all free
- Free crew lunch
- Hands-on activities with real equipment
- Industry speakers
