As the sheriff drives Johnny and Sam around town, Sam kept up the discussion. "Thanks again for doing this, John. As I'm sure you can imagine, shooting a trid...well, there's millions of details, and it's simply invaluable having a local's input when you're going on-site. Just the logistics alone are enough to keep me busy from morning until night. Everyone needs food, the techs have all their gear...and if something breaks down, you have to hope that you can get replacement parts quickly. Even a few hours costs thousands, you know? Worked on a project once that lost twenty thousand nuyen in one day because we had to pay everyone to sit around and wait for a replacement camera to make it across the border. Would you believe that? Total headache. After that, I talked the head producer into letting us buy stuff locally if we needed; even if it costs more than back in the city, getting it immediately saves everyone in the end. So, just in case, where would we go for quick replacements?Electronics for the techs, of course, but since it's an action trid, we might also need to replace some weapons on short notice. I like to use real tools when possible; actors hold plastic toys differently from the actual thing, even when they're trying not to, and that just sends the quality of the trid down the crapper. Naturally we don't give them live ammo, but most of them couldn't tell the difference, right, Johnny?"
