Re: Internet Monitoring of Remote Shoot ???

I had a client once, a few years ago, who insisted on sending me not only a reference diagram for a three-point lighting setup, but also a 50MB video file - where one good frame grab would have served. (It was a shoot of someone demoing software at a computer - they did not move during the demo.) And badgering me on shoot day several times as well, interrupting the flow of the project. Easily one of the least professional clients ever.

His best bet is to send a frame grab, diagram the plot as used beforehand, and ask for a photo to be emailed beforehand (with a "stand-in" if possible) so it could be done on setup rather than delaying the shoot.

Real-time monitoring is clearly not an option.
