There's something really nice about not sitting separate from the crew in some massive trailer away from the studio. To actually be there with them, it's more of a creative process.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The studio is meant to be always a place where, first of all, they can be out of spotlight, and second, where they could work with a peer group on parts that they might not have played otherwise.
Well, I think on second units it's all about execution. Because you come in there, you don't have to worry so much about the studio and all the other actors and all that.
Making a film is so hard that if you don't have your main actors going along with the ride with the rest of the crew it can make your life very difficult.
We've been working with the very best in the business. The studio really just let us alone to make the films.
On a big film, there's almost no way you can meet everyone. On an indie, there are 30 people and no trailers to duck into.
For an actress, everything is always fine - you are looked after, you have your trailer, and everything provided. But the crew are the ones out there in the wilds all the time, hours before and after us.
In the studio, if they need to come down to the floor, things are a bit pushy, although it is easier for them to say things directly rather than through about five people.
Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.
Studio people are bright. Empowering. They don't want to have to interfere creatively. That's their horror story, too.
As an actor... at some point you've got to forget that the crew's there in order to do your job.
