I have been working in the film industry for close to 30 years and have seen many ways to do the same sequence, everything has been done before, our job is to do it in a way that suprises the audience.
Safety on the film set is very important, it should not be seen as a hinderence to the filming, but as a part of the filmmaking process, we all want to go home after wrap, most of us do have other lives after being on set.
We are just about to go into Pre on Stewart Beatie's latest feature "I, Frankenstein" to be shot on location in Melbourne Australia
