I had to greet these four people silently and gesture down the hall that we were walking. It was a stupid, very simple shot, but I just remember my heart was pounding out of my chest. Then, after the first take, it went away and it never came back. It was just nerves of the unfamiliar experience of having a lens on me. After that first take I was, like, "Oh, this is what I've been doing since I was eight-years-old with an 8mm camera in my backyard. We're just pretending. It's just there are one hundred people standing there watching me instead of just myself with a tripod." That fear went away very quickly once I started to think of the camera like an ally, sort of like a teammate telling the story."
