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).
