Comment by Bruce Perlman on February 19, 2009 at 9:46pm: So Skeet, what part of Australia? Tell us something about the commercial biz there. A few of my director clients shoot in your part of the world regularly and always seem to be happy with the experience, although the flight's a killer. Good crews, production, and services?

Sitting here on stage with an Oreo eating baby elephant. He's very cute, but the poop smell awfully strong!

Comment by Bruce Perlman on February 13, 2009 at 2:47pm: Hey Don, welcome to our little corner of the blogosphere, where the stop watch is god and the directors tell the actors how to read a line. And ain't it grand!

Comment by Crew Chamberlain on February 13, 2009 at 2:31pm: Welcome Don Coufal. It will be interesting to read your comments about commercial world.

Comment by Crew Chamberlain on February 3, 2009 at 2:25pm: How right you are Bruce. They have $$$$$ issues like all of us. Some even see the humor of it all, but not many.

Comment by Crew Chamberlain on February 3, 2009 at 12:03pm: Hey Wolf. You know what they say... when the other guy is out of work, it is a recession. When you are out of work, it is a depression... To me it seems that Prod Co's are putting 2 shoot days into one. We used to do 4 or 5 day long jobs all the time. These days same work jammed into 2 or 3 days. So far though, it feels like the last 3 recessions I have been through.
