Planing for shoot.
I've found it helpful to assign roles to each member of a group. The purpose for roles is simple, it gives everyone a task and keeps a project on time, on task and most importantly keeps people from stepping on each others toes. Its been my experience that too many cooks in the kitchen is a bad thing. That said I took it upon myself to delegate roles to the group. Since Pepe had come up with the concept, acquired the prop and painted it white he assumed the role of art director. This meant he gets control of composition, easily the most important role in photography. The major plus to being the AD is that you don't have to worry about the technical or more importantly problem rarely fall to the top. Richard who provided the light meter and backdrop took charge of metering and equipment such as lights etc. (simple but none the less very important). Myself I took the role of grip, which meant I pressed the button on the camera, held the scrim, bounce reflectors and most importantly took the notes on the exposure. Any other task was rotated as needed.
