I try to prepare as much in advance as I can. In this case, we had a series of "backyard games" to shoot for an editorial. I thought I had better practice my panning techniques out on my crew before the kid models got there. Then I wanted to try each of the games to see if they really worked. It was fun to see the little kid in all of us come out when we started playing. Adults are just big kids anyway. I remember when I finally really, really got that years ago..
