Lessons Learned From Shooting

1. You cannot underestimate the importance of a crew with a good attitude.

2. Feeding the cast and crew is the hardest part of making a low budget film.

3. Cute girls on the crew can be a serious distraction.

4. Be open to to suggestions and ideas, but know when to stick to your guns.

5. Tauna Price doesn't even know what the word "tact" means.

6. A fig rig is much more reliable than a Glidecam.

7. If you treat your exrtas well, sometimes they volunteer to do more. Being nice really gets you places.

8. Practical effects can be just as hokey as CGI. Be careful.

9. Stay committed, no matter what, or you'll never get it done.

10. Plan ahead as much as you can, but don't be fraid to improvise.
