Act II: moving to the back of the house

(Male speaker 1: Listen, Cromwell.) (Male speaker 2: Yes, Stanton?)…(Male speaker 1: I invited you on this voyage for a reason.) (Male speaker 2: Oh, do tell.)…(Male speaker 1: I have a business venture that I'd like to float your way.)…The move to the back of the stage was not as successful as I'd hoped.…I like the angle, I like being able to look down, my lens has enough reach that…I was getting some nice things; what hadn't counted on was there were a bunch of…other people in the audience.…

I was having trouble seeing over heads. I was losing feet.…They were being blocked by people's heads, so I didn't like where I was…cropping people's bodies.…So I decided to give up on shooting full bodies and try to simply go in tighter,…get medium close-ups.…My lens wasn't quite long enough to do that, so I decided it's time to leave the…back of the house and I moved to a point about halfway down.…Now this is a somewhat raucous performance. It's not like being at the symphony…or at a staged play where there are quiet moments and people really need to hear.…
