What if you just tell the DGC to do one?

You mean sod off?  Long story short the UPM I hired was DGC, and in order to keep the commitment I made to hire him I had to turn the entire show DGC, including myself! This was a huge mistake that I will NOT repeat.

Enormous cost savings as well, no grips, no electrics, no generators, no gear....amazing value. 

Although I am waiting for a union boss to tell me that if I want to use natural light, I need to pay IA a special "permit fee" because the sun is putting their members out of work. ?

Nah, just seems like cheating. Its not proper cinema unless your using a 3 strip camera with 5ASA rated filmstock - and using carbon arc lighting. 

Digital, natural light? bah - true cinema happens on a sound-stage..  with a camera the size of a fridge and enough light to cook a steak and kidney pie

Ha Ha, very good.
