Well, I guess I can start by telling you that I am working on a personal project that I have been wanting to do for about a year now. I know, RIGHT! A whole frickin year! The reason I haven't done this particular project yet is because it wasnt until recently that I found a source for the materials I needed to build the set. Several trips, baaaack and fooorth, to pick up the goods I finally have (more than) enough to get started!
And since I know that I am a photographer and not a set builder I found me a very talented set designer who is in the process of building/molding/gluing/cutting/designing this great set! I am soooo lucky! I really could not have gotten this far without Atom!
I think that's one of the most important things I have learned. Yea, I want to do it all and have my hands in every aspect of my shoot but realistically, that's just a recipe for disaster or a whole lotta unwanted and unneeded stress! If you want the job done right you need to hire the right people for the job. People who specialize in the craft. People who have the knowledge you don't and have already made the mistakes. People who are passionate about what they do. Besides...I want to be a photographer, not a set designer! =o)
Anyway! I'm sure you are just biting your nails waiting in anticipation to know what this project is...guess you will have to stay tuned! Don't worry, you wont have to wait too long. I am shooting it in a week and will be posting some pictures and videos.
Hope this has been some sort of interesting!
