This is one of those days where I really love my job. I got to do an interview of Jean Paul Gaultier at the Dallas Museum of Art press preview for the exhibition opening — The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier — From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk.
I filmed this with my Zacuto rig with my Canon 5D mk ii. The whole thing was shot and edited in one day.
The interview part was great. I was asked just to get him to film a “welcome” statement. I went over this with Jean Paul briefly — he insisted we film it in front of the cowboy outfits he had made just for the Dallas show. This was 1 take — he was on!
Wonderful person and one of the greats. I wish all artists were this easy to work with.
DMA Director Olivier Meslay (my awesome boss) gave him a marker and asked him to “sign” the pedestal. He took that to town just like everything else.
