First Semi-Real Job

[Tigertail]

So there is a very high chance that I will be selected to help photograph a film shoot over the weekend in LA. The work is not paid and is for a charity organization. I'm doing it because I would like to gain professional experience which I am lacking in... and if I'm working for free at least if I screw up they can't blame me as much!

Anyways, I'm planning to bring my camera, Canon 60D plus a 24-70L lens. If my friend was not currently borrowing my T1I in San Francisco I would bring that as a back up. In addition I have a 16 GB and 8 GB SD card and I can bring my laptop/external HD to download photos if they fill up.

Is there anything major I'm forgetting? For instance, I like shooting in RAW but would it be better to just shoot normally rather than have to add in processing time? And yes I know this question is very similar to the 1ST WEDDING SHOOT WUT DO I DO posts that pop up from time to time; but I think this is a bit different as I'm not being throw into something I am entirely incapable of performing well. I would really appreciate any feedback!

Do you have a sound blimp to silence the camera when shooting during filming? Or will you be snapping only during breaks between shooting?

I'm not sure. That's actually a really great question so I'll make sure to ask that.

However, from looking at the prices, I wouldn't be willing to purchase/rent one unless they were paying for its use.
