Film outside location

Dawn breaks red, the crew is fed

Commence the buzz and commotion,

Of trailers and wardrobes,

That rattle down to the onset location.

The foreground appears from canvass and wood

Horses are costumed and gently they wait,

Romans in leather are milling

Camera Operators are checking the gate.

A wave of silence falls,

When the Director locks it down,

Not a hint of sound would dare,

Make that fore- head frown.

Cut! the scene has been shot,

Horses are shaking their mane,

Ready to move to a new location.

As the chaos of trailers start to rattle again.
