The Professional



I'd forgotten what a difference working with film professionals can make. Bentley joined us on the set for our penultimate episode of the season, and made a huge difference.

It's nice to have someone on the set that is anticipating the needs of the shooting crew, communicating with the DP regarding equipment needs, looking ahead to prepare shots that will be next, and basically doing something besides sitting on equipment cases and chatting with friends on the phone.

It's called set savvy- either you know it and use it, or you don't . Here's an observation: wherever possible, hire professionals.

Thanks for the help, Bentley- it was great working with you again. I'll call you for my next show and recommend you highly and without reservation.
