Well, today The NFL gave me a good dose of my own medicine! Being a Film Producer and Director my job is to push and pull to get the very best from cast and crew. So asking my crew and cast to give me this many takes or that many takes; this many angles or that many angles; this many shots... that many shots, etc. It never dawned on me how daunting, physically and mentally taxing the whole process can be when you are the source IN FRONT of the camera. Many times we begrudge or bemoan the A-List Hollywood Actor/tress making multi-millions of dollars. We think the NON-FAMOUS Actor/tress should work for free. But until today I now know why both positions are utterly wrong and unfair. Filmmaking, commercials and music videos may seem fun, exciting and glamorous. But thats the END PRODUCT of what we as consumers get to see. We dont get to see the inclement weather conditions.... For instance today in Chicago it hit 88 degrees but actors and extras had to dress in WINTER clothing to create the perfect BEARS season scene. We dont get to see the early set hours of 2am and 3am and 5 am set dressing and call times. We dont get to see dangerous conditions of possible accidents, dismemberment and even death that can and from time to time actually occur on set in trying to create the perfect shot. We dont get to see the long waits of sheer boredom that at a split second goes into a frantic frenzy of creating a shot and yet keeping within budget in order to keep your job. Make no mistake, The Entertainment Business is a REAL BUSINESS. I once heard an old axiom popular in Hollywood: Show Business is 5% show and 95% business. How true! How my respect level has gone through the roof for those who work and live in front of the camera. I think it solidifies all the more the gratitude I have to work and live behind the camera. :)
