Taken from series "One Perfect Shot", filmmaker talking about first filming experiences. She says:

"I was doing high-end commercials as a loader and first A.C.'ing on hip-hop videos..."

Who is "loader" in the filmmaking world and what is "A.C.-ing? Please help somebody.
I Googled this:
Camera Crew Breakdown: Jobs and Responsibilities.
The loader is responsible for the actual medium that the camera shoots on, whether film stock or digital cards. Historically, the film loader was responsible for putting film into camera magazines. They would go into a dark room to open light-tight canisters of film stock to load into the magazine.
The first assistant camera is in charge of the camera department. During a shoot, the 1st AC is responsible for keeping the camera in focus. This gave rise to the name focus puller. They are in charge of the maintenance and care of all cameras. During pre-production, the 1st AC will go to rental houses to test gear and make sure everything is ready on schedule.
