I love the way you replied to your own reply.

I'm doing something in january and was just informed that there are some video guys who want to do a documentary about the band as a 'hard working indy band makes good' blah blah blah kind of thing. Trying to sell the idea to one of the music channels, I think. And they want all access, which to me always reads massive intrusion . This means rehearsals and the whole recording/overdub/mixing process, at least on my end of it. It feels like I'm in a fishbowl anytime someone has a video camera out around me. It's one thing if I'm just off in the corner [i can usually just leave the room], but I'll be front and center during the production of this.

They can't even leave the damn lights alone 99% of the time. how can I expect them to be anything but obtrusive?

I guess I was asking how you have dealt with this kind of nonsense, as the producer of the record. Didn't you go through it with the Vines at Sound Factory? I know it's got to be done to a certain degree, but to have a camera on the entire time I am making the record will drive me crazy.

Cheers,
John
