Man, shooting smoke is fucking boring (”complete free reign” – see my first post, you suckers). It all looks the same to me, but Joseph and Julian and Sean (retoucher) seemed really excited with the whole thing. They must of taken thousands of shots. Everyone at the shoot seemed super busy, so i sat around all morning watching them, bored off my skull. And then Tabby and Brian showed up to save the day.
Who would have thought a simple darts board could provide so many hours of amusement. There were about 25 people there today, and everyone had a go – even Ed (he’s crap). But one of the riggers got thrashed by a girl from Artem, and completely lost his rag. He actually tried to punch her (no shit), but luckily Jack (production assistant at 4creative) managed to pull him back just in time, thus saving Artem girl from angry rigger – but not saving angry rigger from Artem girl’s steel toe cap boot. Her aim was perfect, and he went down shouting. Ed fired him on the spot, which was fair enough, but i was very impressed by this riggers extensive knowledge of expletives.
Suddenly this shoot wasn’t looking so boring at all. Smoke, explosions, a sacking, a fight, and darts. Speaking of which, there’s a 4Creative night out this Friday. They’re going to The Lakeside to watch the Semis (apparently Tom Tagholm, the boss, is also a big fan). And i have been invited. Fuckin’ A.
Miguel.
