The Russian one was fairly good, but I missed the nice Giorgio warm-up conversation.
Ideally thats in a mix of english and russian like Giorgio does it, but thats a minor thing actually. Some pre and post shot smalltalk however is nice!
Giorgio also tested a clearly non-Russian cameraman lately and maybe another one more. Frankly lost count a bit, but these (or that one) wasnt as good as Alexey, the Spring Russian one.
The all get a set of positions to shoot, some pictures how it has to look and be framed by their camera and thats fine as it insures some scene consistency.
Still within this basic frame I'd expect them to get some sort of individual touch and some basic emotional relation with the girl they shoot.
This didn't happen with nobody yet. Or it happened as with Alexey in a negative cold way to be felt at times.
Bad because the girls should ideally get to a point they do an extra mile just for the director!
Finally all new support directors Giorgio tried out so far got problems with too many side shots.
Last but not least I really would like more transparency who shoot which scene for GIO!
Not to avoid scenes, as I buy them for the girls and action (the DAPs!), but just to know.
