His main thing was to focus on creative solutions to production challenges and not expensive ones. Wheelchairs work. They aren't perfect, but if you have one, they work. I know people who have used nearly anything with wheels. On one quarter million dollar music video shoot I was on, the producer used the rental minivan as a shooting platform. They opened the side door and belted the camera guy into one of the back seats - delivered perfect results for what they needed. Focus on results and what you have and creative options will appear.

But during shooting we were using an anamorphic lens that vibrated with movement and so we had to scrap it for that picture. Damned anamorphic lens.
