… this place was hot …
It was plenty cold outside, but the temperature inside this steel rolling mill was hot and noisy. Even though you can’t see all the ash and dust that covered the cameras, we managed to get through it without anything bad getting inside the lens chamber. Inside the control room was more like a scene from a movie, and it was a whole lot cleaner and quieter. For the control room shot we used somewhere between six and eight lights, external batteries to power the strobes on the floor and dirtied way more cables than I want to think about. For the shot in the smelter we used only two lights and we covered everything as best we could to protect both us and the equipment from the little meteor-like sparks that were zinging past. The shoot sure was fun, though.
