No one said this was going to be easy,
Behind Barbed Wire's crew had it hard... believe me.
Lugging equipment 800+ yards by foot from parking lot to location,
Forced 3 times daily to take cover for a 30 minute gun demonstration.
The public, unattended kids, and bag pipes too,
Who knew location sound would have so much to chew.
25 daily set-ups, impossible to attain,
I never thought moving a RED camera could be such a pain.
Kumar and the camera team made the camera sing like it was there shtick,
1st AD, Rebekah, kept us on time even though she was sick.
From blown fuses and breakers,
to faulty generators. |
Fort Pulaski, the cast and crew must have saw it all,
I had to re-block scenes on the fly, so the schedule wouldn't fall.
By the time we reset, the guns were reloaded,
After we wrapped the wrong RED files were transcoded.
Tanner fought sleep and computers while rendering in Monty Hall,
Rick edited quick, and post-sound got creative while having a ball.
I once was told by a man that is wise,
Blake, did you know, film is about compromise.
I believe it was Professor Lubomir Kocka who told me that,
He made Directing something that everyone could excel at.
In the end, I'm content and you can take it from me,
I could not have done it without my 'Behind Barbed Wire' family. |
