Some jobs you do for the money, some for the travel and others for the challenge. On this shoot I was doing it ….why was I doing it again? Let me explain.
Got a call from Adrian Cox of Rugged Media. Nice guy (over the phone and in person) and he needed help on a shoot that was going to be in outlying regions of Williams Lake in the Interior BC. It was a Sunday travel, stay the week, then a Friday travel back. So it wasn’t for the travel.
Next he informed me of the budget. Ok then it wasn’t for the money.
And it was only really 2 pages of dialogue. So it wasn’t for the challenge.
And yet I said …”Yes”.
So here we are , the crew, up in Williams Lake, outside in the Sun for 12+ hours a day during the hottest most brutal heat wave that the Province of BC has seen. Forest fires surrounded the area and the forest was so dry that every footstep cracked like firecrackers. And I asked myself – “Self…why am I doing this?” And I had to smile – even though my lips cracked.
Cause I love what I do. Now in spite of all the seeming hardship it was fun as well. Getting some of the dialogue was a challenge and working with new people is always nice.
