Thank you very much my friend.
GFY is where I come to learn about things I do not know, so I feel that I should share with others what I know to give back. Thats what makes GFY work. Sharing of information and experiences.

OHHH yea!! Has happend.
One time my video camera got squirted by Sophie Dee and the screen turned off permanently. Had to take it to the shop to get fixed. Luckily, I always bring a small back up camera for video sign ins+sign out and that camera saved my ass and finished my scene.
One random time, I shot my stills started story for my scene and the city started digging up the street. Was so bad I had to kill the scene. Paid crew, paid make up and paid the girl $200, the home owner was cool with the reschedule.
Another time I had Erik Everhard. $1000 guy. Way worth it! The girl cut his dick with her finger nails. He started bleeding and we couldn't finish the scene. KillS!! all the way around. Sucked!! I payed!!
The worst one was a location the was $150 and hour. Was there for 8 hours. Needed 10 more minutes of footage, girls ass started hurting. She was being a pain in the ass all day, and I couldn't be a Dick about it(Fear that the story would make Mike South) and force her to finish. Im always professional with what ever the situation is. Had to play nice guy and keep quiet. Went to reschedule to get the 10 minutes I needed to finish my scene 3 days later, the girl decided to retire and No-Show me on the morning of the of the reschedule. I ended up eating $1600+, and I had to pay another $300 location services kill fee that day. And the super salty part of everything, I still had to reshoot the whole scene from beginning to end with another girl for free just to cover my costs from the 1st shoot.

4-in 450 scenes for Brazzers. Thats with all top notch guys. Random situations, none for wood issues.
Kills happen to the best of us. Shit happens! I can't go and bill the client for my set problems. The client pays for finished scene, not my problems on set.
