Hey, thanks for all your in depth responses. In the case of this production I was a Producer, the Director, and DP. I suppose what it comes down to is I take a lot of takes because I’m looking for something specific from every scene and I keep going till I get it. And really, I find sometimes the 11th take is the keeper, and the one you shoot after that, just in case, is even better.
But hey maybe I’m wrong.
You guys seem to think I’m doing okay though, so that makes me feel better.
Oh, and I’m also the editor, and I don’t mind a lot of options.
Besides, I’ve been working with a most of the cast and crew for so long that if I cut down my ratio now, they might think I’ve lost it.
