So he told me, “Oh, you have to stand close to the camera as much as you can to make the eye line for me.” I didn’t understand, first of all, because I’ve never done it but he told me very carefully and appreciate because I’m speaking English as a second language. If I’m on camera that’s fine but if I’m off camera, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t even know how the camera was going to shoot.
