So the producer
phones you and says "Geoff, we want you to make a commercial
about Manchester Airport terminal 2
Well you're thrilled
aren't you? I mean, a commercial about an airport terminal
So then he told
me the concept........
We had to show
the destinations that people could fly to from the new terminal, "yeah sure, you'll use library footage" I said. "Well
unfortunately we can't came the reply
There had to
be a snag, nobody asks you to fly around the world making pretty
pictures for 6 weeks without there being a snag
"Now the
choice is you either film it with a normal crew and have one day
in each location or you do it with just an assistant and have
4 days in each location
That's a snag ?
So, Jason and
I with an Arri 3 and lenses from 14mm to 85mm, clip on matte
box, very light head & legs.......
Of course I
did have to hold the reflector in my teeth when I was bouncing
the 12 volt sungun off it for fill in Hong Kong. Oh and they couldn't
find a lumberjack and everyone started looking at me
