Filming is a lot of fun. I like
to work on locations out of LA. because of new people, new ideas, different equipment (sometimes little to none) In
Europe most crews I work with don't speak English, I like that, because I like a quiet set. A few hand signals here, and a few words there, gets the job done.
On one film in Bulgaria, I had
very little equipment, and the little there was, had to be shared with other productions. I had
no scrims, nets, or flags,so I had to cut down lite by using smaller units and by squeezing barndoors. I also used pieces
of furniture, like a wardrobe, or a door taken off the hinges. I even used towels, anything I could find. Crews
there like hands on work and are happy just to hold up a door or two. Infact they would rather do that than use the two C
stands we had.
