On
Urban Mythology (2000): "My first day of shooting was the first time I had ever
been on a movie set. My AD really didn't think I was going to be able
to run set, when out of the blue I asked my DP to swap out the 35 prime
for a 25, and frame the actor right of frame which ought to give the
other actor a window in the upper left hand side to drop down into.
Right after that when faced with a screen direction problem, I told
Gregg to start the next shot with talent off screen, pulling off
another couple, drop the last line of dialogue from the last shot over
that first frame before talent entered frame, so I could cut off the
first shot before the actors exited frame to kill the screen direction
problem. My AD asked me how the hell I knew all this stuff. The joke
was on him - I didn't know anything. I just acted like I did and picked
up on it as I went along."
