Every scene has a shot or two that require a ridiculous amount of set up. You know the ones I’m talking about, those cool shots with the weird camera angles that show off how clever you are as a director. I leave those shots to the very end of a set’s life because they often require me to literally tear the set apart to get what I’m looking for. The two I needed for this scene are now done and this set has been dismantled. A nice way of saying it’s been trashed. As I write this my table sits empty awaiting the next location.
