That is pretty cool, man! Despite the horrid conditions I'm told you guys work in.
Sometimes the conditions are great, sometimes they suck.
Like I've shot at the Vancouver International Airport the last two shoots I've been on (one for a new Pacino/McConaughey or however you spell his name movie last week, and for The L Word today), and when you're not in the shot, you get to chill in some comfy padded chairs, dozens of posh washrooms at your disposal, food courts abound, etc.
To contrast that, about 3 weeks ago I was doing Tru Calling where we were shooting a scene of touch/tag football down by the beach while it was pooring with rain. The only washrooms availabler were the local ones, and you know how those decade old beach bathrooms can get. One toilet, fucked by all the bums of the city, and the urinal was basically a tiled wall with a steel grate. I was wearing fucking skin tight shorts and a tank top in the rain all day, and holding was basically a tent with steel fold up chairs.
It's hard to complain considering we're getting paid pretty good money to either sit around all day or walk from point A to point B all day, but it can be shitty at times.
