Do PA days count? Set PA work is applicable toward 2nd AD placement Will my feature film/film television days be acceptable? Yes. You will need to document that you have worked within the AD department. What if I am lacking documentation? In order to remain fair to all, we will not be able to make any assumptions of work without proper production generated paperwork. How does my 2nd AD commercial placement translate to the Basic List? Any individual who has been placed as a commercial 2nd AD is eligible for “interchange” to the New York Basic List in the same category. In order to be eligible to “interchange” to the Southern California Basic List as a 2nd AD, you will need to UPGRADE to a Commercial 1st AD. This requires documentation of having worked at least 150 freelance days as a 2nd AD, with no fewer than 75 days of work on commercial productions, since your original placement on the Commercial List.
