1 Our cinematographer
Hoyte Van Hoytema
myself Barbara
and Daniel having
a sundowner on our
last day in the desert.
The relief you may
detect is to do with
the fact that we
just engineered
and triggered the
largest ever filmed
explosion... and
no-one got hurt! (Note
the second supper
next to yours truly.)
2 Sometimes
itâs more like an
operating theatre
than a film set...
3 This photo is very
familiar indeed. It is
entitled âAlmost every
evening on locationâ.
4 The best piece
of action kit ever
invented â the Edge.
5 Either a tiny
cinematographer or
a giant clapperboard.
6 Myself and Dennis
Gassner location
scouting in the
Austrian Alps. I donât
get vertigo... Often.
7 We had to get the
Dame into the movie
somewhere...
8 The final production
meeting before
shooting begins on
a Bond movie from the
POV of the director. To
my right my brilliant
first AD Michael
Lerman; to my left
Barbara Broccoli
trying to work out
how to use her
iPhone. The meeting
took two days.
9 This was my ride
in Mexico City.
I wanted to slip
through unnoticed.
