Why I Sometimes Hate This Job

Not just the MH camera job, but camera jobs in particular can be kind of trying for me. It all depends on the subject. A little kid with a broken arm and raccoon face paint might still smile broadly for the camera. Some subjects, such as Montana in this video, tend to cramp up reflexively when they realize the camera's on.

So first you've got Dash noticing the camera and making a face. Montana notices Dash making a face and asks, "What was that about?" The next part is priceless and kind of defines the agony. She notices the camera, grimaces like she's passing a stone, and says, "Oh .... " From that point on, Montana is painfully aware of the camera and forced me to cut carefully around four connections with the camera just to preserve a cute shot of a kid climbing into la casa de bounce. Earnin' that MH pay today!
