I am ashamed to say that I watched a scene for the first time last week and was actually looking at the surroundings and thinking "thats a nice fitted kitchen they've got there". Even more worrying was the fact it was Michelle Thorne. Did manage to forget the scenery enough to see Michelle's face end up looking "like a plasterers radio" .

I know what you mean, though my problem is I cant pass a smart location without imagining shooting a porn video in it.

Your Mum?

I tend to look at light switches and plug sockets to see if it is really shot in the UK !confused!

I listen out for the heavy breathing of the camera man or the creaking of the video camera housing, proving they didn't bother with a sound man. Cheapskates.

I always run a cable out to a separate directional mic so as to avoid that operating noise. Consequently, as I am not using the top mic you cant hear my heavy breathing either.

I do that all the time! Criticising some of the shonky studio sets is mondo fun and a good thought exercise in what I would do better with the same miniscule amount of money.

I used to shoot for a producer who would have loved to have known about you, Loachlainn.

Well, I'm still available if anybody is interested (mentioning no company names who never respond when contacted).

Lights and cables are a favourite to watch out for!
I've even seen another cameraman in one scene.
Such poor editing lol!
