Maybe you could ask our webmaster Jan Watterson to publish that picture on our website. I don't know if that is possible. We need more photographs of young people in our magazines and on our website.

By the way "House" is what Scott Hillhouse is called by his friends.

Yes, of course, Dave. Very interesting article. Sometimes we forget that we are spoilt on this website. I must admit that I am a scatterbrain from time to time. Sorry !

[House]

Dave said it right. My name is Scott Hillhouse, though most everyone calls me House. I picked the name up in high school, but it was in the Marine Corps that it really stuck. Marines have a tendency to shorten or abbreviate everything. After the Corps I noticed that when meeting people, many were far more likely to remember House, as apposed to Scott, so I held on to it.
As for the fun of filmmaking, I have a little speech I always give to the actors just before we shoot. I explain that if you as an individual are having a good time it will show in your character and your performance will be all the more better. The camera will capture the energy you bring on set. I also explain to them that there will never be a sequel or a re-shoot and that they will never get another chance to wear that outfit or be that character again, so they must leave it all on location. Whatever is bouncing around in your heart has to come out tonight. So as a director, I have to work to keep their spirits up and the energy positive so that when I utter the words ..and action, I get to sit back in awe and pray the camera is capturing it.

Hello House and friends,
Last year Peter Rouillard and I filmed the sequences with the actors for the film "Guernsey, I Love You !". The main characters are a young girl and boy. It seemed to us that the girl was really in love with the boy. You could see it in her facial expression. So we also filmed while they were not acting. They were not aware of it. After four days of shooting or the end of this session we thought that the girl gave up all her efforts. In the mean time we had taken some very useful shots. We had made a storyboard with about 350 pictures, but we took more shots and they seemed to be very functional. We fear that if we would re-shoot some scenes not only their haircut, but also their expression would be different.
