Shooting this warning was not only excruciatingly painful (so what else is new), but also damn insulting to my integrity as a professional.
I show up for this shoot not knowing what kind of sign Iım going to be shooting for (which is damn annoying to begin with because had I known it was going to be YET ANOTHER shot of me getting electrocuted by a damn electrical box, I could've just told him to use one of the many I'd already done).
So, the director tells me they've got to set up for a while, and I should just relax while I wait, and, oh why not grab yourself a donut out of that innocent little cabinet over there.
So I reach in to enjoy some doughy goodness and ZAP! I get blasted with a damn lightening bolt. The crew is cracking up, and the director, through his jackass smirk, tells me I'm all done they just got the shot.
So I ask him what the heck he thinks he's doing, and he tells me get this he wanted to spring it on me so they could "capture the image of genuine surprise and alarm."
I thought about explaining to him that I'm a pro and had made my damn living by selling surprise and alarm, but my temper got the better of me and I decided to capture my own genuine image of surprise and alarm by kicking him in the goodies.
Most satisfying lawsuit I've ever been served.
