Director's Scout Stills | Photos: Daniel Garriga

Increasingly, we do Director's Scouts, which is a pre-scout usually weeks before the shoot, and prior even to a tech scout. The purpose is for me to work with my DP (Director of Photography) to figure out not only where we want to shoot, but what. It's an invaluable tool that not only makes for better, more creative work, but also it's a cost saver.

Thanks to Daniel Garriga, the photographer on this job, for providing the stills. One of the rare times you'll see photos of me working, and not because I don't work.
