Camera Man Ch. 2

Chapter 2: Interview

“Hello this is Booty Bust Industries, how may I help you?” A receptionist lady said to Izzy in a polite tone over the phone. Izzy was a bit nervous, but he could do this.

“Uh.. My name is Koushiro Izumi, and I was wondering if the tech and cameraman job is still available?” Izzy said over the phone.

“Oh yes it is! We’d be happy to have you if you have the skills. You have a degree correct?” The lady asked Izzy over the phone.

“Yes I do, a BFA from Shibuya University in digital media and technology. I will bring it with me to the interview if we could schedule one.” Izzy said.

“Of course, Mr. Izumi! We could schedule one for today or tomorrow if you are free.” She said.

“Today would be fine since I’m free. What time should I arrive and where are you located at?” Izzy asked politely.

“Our offices are located in center city Odaiba, but the location of the shoots take place in various locations. For your interview, please come to the office building located about four miles from Highton View Terrace at 3pm today. Please dress semi formal. Thank you so much!” The lady said over the phone, Izzy writing down the information she gave.

“Thank you so much ma’am!” Izzy said and hung up. He smiled excitedly at possibly finding another job, and went to his bedroom to pick out a suitable outfit for the interview. Since it was already almost two, he needed to move. He grabbed an orange button down shirt and nice black dress pants. He put on nice loafers and made sure to brush his deep red hair. He examined himself quickly before leaving. His hair was short, but not too short and it had a slight natural waviness to it. He had small red freckles covering the top of his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, and he smiled at himself. His dark eyes glowed with ambition, and he was more excited than he expected to be for this job. He then grabbed his degree and resume and left the house. He unlocked his old van and stepped inside. It was a light shade of blue and was a hand me down from his parents when he went off to college. It was battered and bruised, but still ran fine after all these years and had plenty of room for camera and tech equipment in the back. He then drove off to the interview.

- 3pm -

“Hello, how may I help you sir?” The same receptionist from over the phone now sat in front of Izzy, and she had a sweet demeanor. Izzy smiled and read her nametag. It said Jun.

“My name is Koushiro Izumi, or Izzy for short. I called about the interview?” He said politely. She suddenly lit up.

“...Izzy? Yes I have the interview in place, but do you remember me? I’m Davis’s sister!” She said with a big smile. Izzy then looked at her nametag again and it clicked.

“Oh goodness yes I do remember you! Greetings Jun, its been forever.” Izzy said and shook her hand. She smiled and leaned over the desk, a sudden blush coming over her face.

“So uh… How’s Matt been? Do you know? Does he have a girl-” Izzy cut her short.

“Jun I’d love to talk more, but I am here for an interview!” He said, reminding her. She then snapped out of her daze and gathered the papers he brought with him..

“This way Izzy! Mr. van Dietz will see you now.” Jun said and led him to a room behind her own. She knocked on the door.

“Yes?” A voice from behind the door asked.

“Your three o’clock interview for the tech position is here sir!” Jun said cheerily.

“Ah yes, send him in.” The man behind the door said. She opened the door for Izzy and brought the papers to a tall man sitting behind the desk. Izzy took a seat in front of him, and he felt a nervous sweat beginning.

“Hello son, my name is Erich van Dietz. And it says here you are Koushiro?” He said, reading through Izzy’s resume and degree. Izzy nodded and smiled. Erich van Dietz was obviously not from Japan, and it showed plainly. He was tall and muscular and also of dark skin. He had piercing hazel eyes and slight five o’clock shadow. Izzy also noticed the lip ring he wore, which was rather odd for a professional to wear on the job.

“Yes sir, that’s my name. Beautiful office you have, by the way.” Izzy said while looking around.

“Thank you boy. Now tell me what your skills are exactly and if you think you are prepared for this job.” Mr. van Dietz said seriously. Izzy began thinking about the second part of the question.

“Well sir, I specialize in technology in general. I can easily manipulate a camera, sound equipment, and editing software. Anything you would need to be done, I can do. And as for the second half of that question, I feel I am ready for this job. I am a man, and naturally any man would be lucky to have this job. Who wouldn’t want to have the honor to film something everyone loves and watches? I’d be more than happy to get into this action and be a part of something wonderful.” Izzy said seriously. He was surprised how professional he sounded about making pornography, but he also liked how it sounded. Erich van Dietz smiled.

“...It seems like you have yourself a new job, Mr. Izumi! Congrats, and I hope to see your enthusiasm out on set because your first job is tonight.” Mr. van Dietz said happily and shook Izzy’s hand. He shoot a surprised look at Mr. van Dietz.

“Tonight? Wow you guys definitely are busy huh?” Izzy said with a chuckle. Mr. van Dietz nodded.

“Well Koushiro, we haven’t had a camera man for almost a month now so we need to resume filming as soon as possible!” Mr. van Dietz said, excited.

“Ah I see, and where will the shoot be?” Izzy asked politely.

“Well today we aren’t doing any videos, it will be more of a photoshoot. Full videos are normally done during the day because it may take awhile. So report here again and Jun will direct you to the room we will use when you get here at 8pm.” Mr. van Dietz explained. Izzy nodded.

“Sounds great, sir! I will see you then.” Izzy said and waved goodbye for now.
