My Assistant Director Paul Adkins not only supervised the weapons safety tonight, he also supervised the movement of the production from one shot to the next, keeping the camera coordinated with the gun work, with the stunts while making sure the layers of safety worked to protect all of our people, so there was no standing around time for anyone involved in the shots being filmed.We might have blown through shot after shot but at no time did Paul allow the safety of our people to ever be compromised.And that ethic flowed from the top down from Paul.
