Robin R Probyn Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 The gaffer told me they rent for about US$300 a day.. I was surprised as I thought it would be alot more .. given the shoots they would go out on.. very sturdy sort of Nylon type material.. and about 10cm deep.. very effective for cutting spill..

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 28, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm not. Hexes seem harder to make and offer only small advantages over squares. Must try harder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Gregory Irwin Posted January 28, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted January 28, 2018 I remember a very funny moment at Toho when a stage door next to my stage, opened and Godzilla walked out. The head was peeled back and the guy in the suit lit a cigarette and stood there smoking while still in the rest of the Godzilla costume. It was surreal!!! Hilarious.

Robin R Probyn Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Haha classic ..early morning the older guys are still "allowed" to smoke in the studio.. ! Brits on this forum will probably know the Jonathan Ross series Japanorama.. there were three series that I shot.. (quite a ride too) for one part ,we had the the guy who had played Godzilla for many years .. and the younger replacement who had done one film.....together we had them stomp on these model buildings ..and of course the classic Japanese situation evolved.. the younger guy showed alot of respect.. which then wore very thin as the older guy.. clearly not happy at being replaced.. criticized the new guys technique unmercifully ..
