Re: Fun shoots

no it just isn't worth it.
The last show i did, i worked 24 hours straight, from 6 a.m. to 6 a.m.
not one single break,no breakfast ,lunch or dinner,i did stop for 24
minutes while the show fired though, then right back to work cleaning
up.i have no idea how i made it home, i really can't remember
And all this for 120 bucks!!!!!
