It all began from an idea-1
Saturday evening arrived; we met up with Sandie, and journeyed to the venue. She seemed excited but calm eagerly anticipating her debut on film. When we introduced her to her leading man there was a shaky handshake between the two. I led Sandie off to a side room where she could change from her slacks and tee shirt to her nurse’s uniform. Meanwhile Mick led off Bob to a room where he could change into the hospital gown provided by Sandie. We quickly set up the fixed camera position and I arranged with Mick that I would take the hand held shots.
With Bob in the makeshift hospital bed, the use of the film company’s lighting rig allowed us to light the area properly. Two further Security officers had agreed to pose as other patients, not much persuasion was necessary as they were going to see all the action live.
Sandie entered the ward and after pausing at the foot of one of this spectator’s bed, looked at a clipboard and asked if there was anything he needed. To add realism we got him to ask for a urine bottle, which Sandie duly fetched and passed to him.
