Chaos Theory

I think I may have lost my blogging mojo. It seems that whenever I get near my computer and want to type, I just can't do it. It's not that nothing is happening, I have actually been really busy helping out on some films. In the freezing cold. With no pay. Just to get some 'experience'. Which would be really bad except that everyone else is in the same miserable boat as well. Actually, the boat ain't so miserable or I wouldn't do it. Its actually some form of sadistic fun to be outside in the middle of a freezing winter night shooting a movie. It is kind of like army basic training without the sexy uniforms. Or guns. Cos guns on a film set would be real bad. People get real mad on film sets. Many things go wrong. Nerves get frayed. You want a good horror movie? Give the crew guns!
Actually in order to avoid the mass homicide, feeding the crew should be the highest priority. Cold, tired, angry people who are not well fed sink further into their cold, tired, angry ways - users beware.
The shoots I was on were actually very different. One was very well organised, ever thing was on the ball and the food was amazing. I would aliken it to the German Army complete with a mini-dictator 1st AD (who ran the set like the gestapo). The other was very disorganised, nothing was on time and the food was crap. That one I will compare to the Israeli army - a complete and utter mess with lots of off-colour humour. And what can I say, I would take the chaos any day!
