Fish in the Hole!


Today I worked on a shoot as a production assistant/fish wrangler.
Yes, I got paid to wrangle fish; catfish to be precise.

I had to find the fish (which was a more complicated task than you might think), transport the fish to our location on the Chattahoochee, keep the fish alive, cue the fish to their positions in an Indian Fish weir I helped to build, then "wrangle" them for the shot which involved a semi-nude Cherokee man fishing with a spear.

One fish was speared through four times on four different takes....and was still alive.

More on this adventure when I have the photos....
