ABSTRACT
One of the joys of directing large-scale remotes is that they often offer the opportunity to use unusual devices. Orson Welles once said that working in Hollywood was like being a child again and getting a wonderful new toy. Remotes can offer much the same pleasure. Even with just three handheld cameras and a miniswitcher, it’s possible to find ways to play. It’s often helpful to imagine what could be done with an unlimited budget.
