Great blog!

[idoassist]

I just stumbled on a video that I worked on a while ago! It's is always fun to see the result of our work and it brings back a lot of good memories!

Basically it was a 00:00am to a 12:00pm shoot which always steps up the difficulty level but in that case all that was forgotten so quickly due to the multiple bursts of laugh and the great mood from everyone.

Special thanks to Isabelle Phaneuf-Cyr for giving me the chance to work with that great team!

Dear Prospective Photo Assistant

If you are going to apply for a position, please do not address me as “Ladies and Gentlemen,” “Yo” or “Mat”. And call me old fashioned, but a text message saying “hit me up if you want an assistant” is also unacceptable.
