The consultant has to be in it from the start as they have to not put stuff in the scrip the photog would not do or leave out what the photog would certainly do and or say. It almost seem like they want to get it wrong. It doesn't just insult photographers it insult the audience. Photogs are typically portrayed also as voyeuristic perverts who think their camera is a gun or a symbol of their male phallic protuberance. They get very confused.. Less than half of my photog friends are like that! And the Blow UP guy would not do that in steps he'd just project the neg to the other side of the studio and do it in one step. Doing it in steps like that would be the last thing you'd want to do. And the one step would be a better story. I think the best stories are the true ones or ring true as they could be true.. Stuff made up in comparison is very half assed. If a thing says "based on true events" I'm 90% half won over from the get go.
