I've been shooting at Capitol for over fifteen years now, off and on, and was eager to shoot the current version of the room. It was starting to look pretty dated with the old CRT monitors in the wall and just the wear and tear of being used. The biggest deal here was putting two companies together to split the cost of the shoot, and the timing was critical, as Neve, located in the UK, needed shots of this console for a brochure they were printing. There was a lot of going back and forth between all parties trying to figure out acceptable amounts for both companies to contribute. There's a lot I can't really talk about, but suffice to say that it all came about after lunch on a Friday and we shot on the following Monday morning. At 3:30 in the afternoon Friday, I got an email from someone at Capitol informing me they needed an insurance certificate for five million dollars. That had to be done before 5 PM when the insurance company closed for the weekend. Turns out that four million, which is what my policy is for was enough, but since Capitol no longer owns the building, the new owners require a huge insurance policy for any outside vendors coming on the property - even music equipment rental companies. That's life in the big city these days, I guess.
