Lessons learned

I'm going to post this in the interest of lessons learned.

The Treasure Island shoot was a total disaster. I was given a call time of 12 noon and my shot did roll 'till 6pm so I sat around doing nothing all day but watch the crew. By the time we rolled tape I was in a foul mood and to top it all off they didn't block the scene out like i had requested and the camera work was so shaky (to cover the lack of real action) that it will be impossible to pull a good matchmove from the footage.

The lesson is: to VFX supervise you need to INSIST on planning and be an asshole on set sometimes.

Oh well.
