The director sat with him in the car for about 20 minutes and taught him to park it… It was a really minor shot so everything worked out in the end, but it was definitely a learning experience for me as writer/creative director!
In my limited experience so many things go wrong on set, the willingness to improvise is what gets everything done. But man it can be scary to watch the sun start to set while waiting for your mistake to be fixed… I work mostly in post now, and it’s far less nerve-wracking!
