After 25 years in the business, Cecil Evans knows the ins and outs of making a film production flow smoothly. Listen up as he describes his job.

Q: Hi, Cecil, what do you do on the set of Spy Kids 3D?
Cecil Evans: I am the transportation coordinator. I have the neatest job in the whole world. Everybody wants my job, because it's fun.

Q: Well, tell me exactly what it is?
Cecil: Well, first of all, whenever we are prepping, I have to round up all the equipment that we are going to use for the show—equipment being a production van, which carries the electric stuff, and the grip truck, which carries all the grip equipment, and the camera truck, which carries all the camera stuff. Hair and makeup trailer, wardrobe trailer, special-effects trailer, and then I have got to hire the drivers to drive all these things.

Q: On a production like Spy Kids 3D, how many people work with you?
Cecil: On Spy Kids 3D, I had a real small crew because we sat in one place most of the time. And while we were sitting, I had 14 drivers. Once we would go out and move around to various locations, I would have 25 or so drivers.

Q: What is the biggest movie that you worked on—one where you did a lot of traveling and had to coordinate everything?
Cecil: The biggest, most extensive show that I think I have done recently was The Newton Boys, which is a true story that took place in the 1920's. One of the things that the transportation coordinator has to do is to come up with all the cars and all the vehicles that you see in the film. And in that film, we had, like, 350 pre-1922 cars. So, that was quite a trick to come up with that many old, old, old cars.

Another neat thing that we do is we take care of all the trailers. I have to come up with all the trailers, various kinds of trailers that the stars or cast use as dressing rooms. And when they fly into Austin, we are their first contact with the motion picture company because we pick them up at the airport and bring them to the set.

Q: What are some of the other movies that you worked on?
Cecil: Well, there was a TV mini series that I worked on called True Women with Dana Delaney and Angelina Jolie. I worked on The War at Home that Emilio Estevez directed here in town. Waiting for Guffman, which was a Christopher Guest film. I worked on The Big Dream, which was a kid's soccer film. A lot of fun. Yeah, it was a real cute show. I worked on a film called The Stars Fell on Henrietta, which was a Robert Duvall film.

I also worked on Perfect World, with Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood.

Q: And what is your all-time favorite movie?
Cecil: Oh, The Searchers and Spartacus. I loved both of those films. I've seen them a hundred times.
