On the set of "Mutant X", a successful offshoot of the 'Xmen' series. I’m setting up the lighting for interviews in the 'Sanctuary' where the Mutants rest between battles.

Here I am with a very talented stand-in, for Hillary Clinton’s husband. He was up in Canada doing a commercial, and told us he actually received a “cease & desist” letter from The White House once for his impersonations.

Another long and difficult day, working this time with a Canadian Playmate of the Year. My soundman, Brent Robichaud (bottom right) is a very happy man, with an interesting story to tell about how difficult it is to pin a lapel mic on silk. We were shooting for E! Entertainment during the Toronto Film Festival.

Would you let this bunch operate on you? Actually we are about to enter one of the largest drug manufacturers in Canada, and all the paraphernalia is to keep us ultra clean, and from inhaling anything we’re not supposed to.
