Wow, really? Most of the NSI shoots I’ve done had at least rudimentary walkthroughs.

Hmm.

Maybe Lucy trusts you more…

“the scenes are blocked out and walked through before the cameras roll.”

I’ve clearly done very few normal shoots then…

Did I just miss the part where you say what producer and title this was?

Thank you, Adele.Re your twitter on wooden spoons – I think they’re probably what is called a talking point, which will allow spanko-inclined persons to half-identify themselves. Incidnetally – am I right tin thinking that wooden spoons weren’t used for spanking in the UK or US until fairly recently? I seem to remember a ather silly piece of research in the 50s which showed the wooden spoon occupied much he same place in Czech middle class family customs as the hairbrush in the Anglois-=Sxon world.

Fascinating stuff, but I hope you’ll eventually allow questions about what was going on inside you.

I don’t, actually, Csheriff – I’m really unobservant (and pretty bad at taking photos as a result of this). My only one in the last shoot was noticing an undisguised light switch (in 1911, that would be a bit strange). I’m sure I must have picked up on stuff before, but I can’t remember anything in particular.

Hey Adele, a personal qustion if You don’t mind. How many times have You been on the set the shoot ready to start and Your the only one who relizes that: the lighting is off (a shadow in the wrong area) the sound gear is in the improper place, espesialy in the scene, Someone has left somthing in the scene that wasn’t there before, Someone has taken somthing from the scene that should be there. Or one of My favorites: The Actress is the only one that notices that Camera one and camera two are going to be in the scene at the same time! I’ll bet You have many more of these. please share.

Ah well, to be fair to the crew, this level of “artistic porn” can cause a considerable amount of cognitive dissonance in those who don’t share the exact same set of reference points/obsessions.
