'Give it a good swing; make the poor bastard that's behind the camera have to HUNT for the sandbag!'
- Overheard on the studio floor
--
The studio felt awfully like a gym today - three cameras arranged behind various exercises designed to highlight abilities we need to practice. Known as 'Bruce's Bootcamp', activities such as tracking a sandbag attached to a rope that has been tied to the lighting grid and being swung, practicing panning, tilting and zooming all at the same time on an object, (it was actually meant to be Mr. Fugly) and manuvering a camera (and cablebasher) through an obstacle course of sorts, made out of a ladder and chairs that need to be negotiated around, whilst tracking Tigger - but that's not all - people that hit aforementioned chairs and ladder owe Bruce a golf ball.
In retrospect, I remember Bruce telling me that I owe him at least a baker's dozen, after taking a rather non-compliant ladder for a short walk.
