I’ve just returned, tired but happy, from 4 1/2 hours’ filming. To hear the familiar sound of the boom stand rattling in the back of the car on the way home was music to my old photographer’s ears again. But these days, now I code, I’m not depending on each shoot for the next pay check. And that makes the world of difference. Filming, even with a stabilisation rig, is a young man’s game. Too physical to keep the camera movements smooth. Tonight I only had optical stabilisation. Too bad.
