My Process from prep to shoot:
Pre Production:
Breakdown the scenes with intimacy and/or nudity.
Meet with Director/Showrunner and producers to fully understand the creative vision.
Speak with the performers about what the scenes will entail, and ensure fully informed consent.
Once everyone has agreed to the work, I will create the language for the Nudity Rider, and liaise with production, and any other departments as necessary.
On Set:
I make sure the actors have the modesty garments and barriers that they need, and that they know how to use them properly.
I ensure that all closed-set protocols are being followed per SAG-AFRA.
I can watch a monitor to make sure the director and performers get any support they need. I also make sure the simulated sex looks realistic.
Take care of background performers while shooting any nudity or intimacy.
When requested I can assist with any choreography and masking needs.
