Subject: The big time in a small way, (or that's show Biz).
It's been a long day, and I'm a bit frazzled. I did my first, (and maybe
my last, though I hope not), photo shoot for a local video production
studio. The video crew spent the day doing interviews for a documentary
style commercial, and between video takes I shot publicity stills. I
can't go into much detail or even publish any of the work until after the
client finishes the the video editing and releases the advert., but It's
paid, (and well paid at that), advertising work. The production manager
told me I was the most expensive member of the crew, (I'm so proud). I
have learned or maybe re-learned a couple of important lessons. 1.) No
matter how technically savvy a company seems to be don't count on them not
having a couple of technical blind spots. Example: In a studio full of
high powered video editing equipment, and more Macs than an outlet store,
not a single card reader could read an SDHC card. 2.) No matter how
important or seemingly ubiquitous a the tool, never expect a group that
should have one on hand to actually have it. Example: They didn't have a
18% Grey card, (luckily I asked about that in advance).
