It doesn't go well with sand, and shooting on the beach causes nothing but problems. Obviously it's a tempting spot with the lush view and also local here. But sand can get everywhere and a scene there would have to a one take if you want to use the audio captured as is (due to the sound of the sea and noise throughout, any cutting prevents it).
None the less, this hasn't deterred one of the lecturers to try this out on the Summer School. It's not that surprising since the guy's completely bonkers, but it is a bit awkward to use a sand packed tripod smoothly. However we've got proper HDCAM cameras in waiting, and while they don't have the motorised massage chair attached I was hoping, I guess it's a blessing in disguise.
Also if too much sand gets in the actors then they JUST MIGHT GIVE A GREAT PERFORMANCE, so feel free to shovel it down any orifice you're happy to wrestle with.
