Great interview. The BTS footage and stills enabled me to properly visualize the conditions described.
(I had one title that didn't hold it's position in the initial uploaded episode, so I fixed it and wanted to keep the one comment the video had received!)

Sensational title

[@meetthegaffer]

My title is a little over the top to draw people to an interesting story. I don’t think the interviewees are sensationalistic in their recounting of the work. They go out of their way to characterize it as regular work with the normal hurdles one encounters through film production.
