Bugs

[Jeff Miller]

This is just a tip about something I learned the hard way on a golf course shoot. The project was to fly every hole from tee to green following the flight of a typical golf ball. While filming one of the holes I hit a bug which splattered on the very edge of my camera lens. I didn't notice it until two holes later when I switched to camera view and one of it's wings started fluttering in front of the lens. Lesson I learned here: Always check the camera lens for bugs/dirt before filming. Had to go back and shoot three holes over and got way behind schedule.
