Because some cheap git did not want to fork out the money to the local council to cordon off the road. Make things worse I did not get paid but got a pizza for my troubles. That was really the point I knew this was not an industry for me.

I know, it sounds unreal.. and it almost is. Turns out there is someone who handles butterfiles for film shoots, and he ties an almost invisible thread to the creature and so ends up dragging it whichever way its required to go. It's hard on the butterflies.. we got through 3 or 4 before they got the shot ;-pLopzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746662835146630607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128204352385977626.post-23828705290876087152007-10-08T15:42:00.000+01:002007-10-08T15:42:00.000+01:00My boss does exactly the same thing - "Want a FUN ...My boss does exactly the same thing - "Want a FUN new assignment?" - the answer is always NO!

Then you also phone the other major companies and speak to their Film Archive person with a lovely sweet girly voice without saying where you are from and then you basically just use your brain and search random things on google.<BR/><BR/>That one was very arb but usually they are easily solvable with a bit of patience and "out the box" thinking.<BR/><BR/>I did actually find some footage strangely enough ;)The Divine Miss Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630878406116431585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128204352385977626.post-30959881842154497452007-10-08T13:52:00.000+01:002007-10-08T13:52:00.000+01:00So, under the pretense of let's call it education....So, under the pretense of let's call it education. How exactly does one go about doing that or do you film-industry types have some sort of special Google-type search engine that'll skim thru all footage ever made for you and spit out a neatly edited list - oh if things could be so simple :)phillygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618315315456011985noreply@blogger.com
