On Set, it's a combination of chaos and order. I'm not quite sure how you get the two living together harmoniusly, but you do.
I gues if my disciplined perfectionist wife can live harmoniously with a nutter like me, order and chaos can get on just fine in the workplace!
Some days though, the chaos of scheduling and resource meltdowns can kill you. No, seriously, it feels like you're not gonna make it...

Enter Ian roberts, acting legend and the most relaxed dude in South Africa!
This guy stands in the middle of a typhoon and creates his own bubble of calm.. it's friggin amazing!
I'm spinning like a top and he's just: "Ja boet, lets try this" or "No man, it's easy boet".
The guy is awesome.
He'll jump in and help the crew, help newer actors learn their lines... awesomeness!
On set, when he is not busy with his character responsibilities, he chills in his old Yellow Volkswagen Kombie, playing his guitar and making coffee or chow on a little gas stove...
It's such a cool vibe, this awesome contradiciton against the backdrop of digital film making.
Like a reminder that there is more to life than running around like a chicken with my head chopped off.
Ja, Nee, Kyk...
The oke is a legend.. of note!
I think a lekker nugget here would be:
Don't get so busy with life that you don't get a chance to live it...
