Interesting input so far.
I don't shoot every day of the week like the big companies, and I tend to work more with local amateur performers, so it is easier for me to control the conditions for my shoots.
As a start, I would like to see the industry form a panel to seriously study this issue to understand what has gone wrong in the past, and to develop some recommendations for the industry as to how we can move forward more safely with regards to the health of our performers.
Some of the big studios already have some written guidelines. Let's gather up all of this good information and disseminate it as widely as possible within the industry. Health and Safety should not be considered trade secrets.
As a result of this current issue, I saw it proposed somewhere that the studios which constantly shoot from the same talent pool could perform rapid tests prior to each scene as a secondary measure to the monthly testing now in place. I don't know enough about the efficacy of this methodology at this time in order to decide if it is a good solution or not, but I say let's gather up all of these ideas and take a long hard look at them...
More ideas/opinions?
