Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:52:36 +0000 http://photocinenews.com/?p=3208#comment-209 [...] When we’re good we’re very good and when we’re bad we’re awful. Awful in terms of the whole production, things just not going the way we expect them to  and being helpless to stop it. This weekend, more than any other, we were under hideous time pressure, which meant seriously compromising the quality of what we were shooting in order to just get it in the can. I’ve shot thirty odd music videos and that’s a pretty familiar situation but it never becomes any less annoying. Time is always against you but we’ve been lucky on L+G up to this point that we’ve not had to hurry too much. This time, however, we were definitely guilty of shooting Hollywood in the morning and Hollyoaks (rancid British drama) in the afternoon. Locations tend not to like you running late, and yet, there we were, proper late, both Saturday and Sunday night which stressed out the young producers something rotten. Hah, they’ll learn! The Merlin looks daft, and you feel like a proper bell using it, but I defy anyone to tell me the results aren’t decent [...] [...] When we’re good we’re very good and when we’re bad we’re awful.
