FIELD PRODUCER CARL Murphy thought of the subjects of reality TV as performers who happened to be involved in unusual or compelling activities. He coached them to sprinkle expletives into their speech so they could be bleeped when televised. It brought out emotions, which helped to connect the audience to the performers and their story. He also encouraged them to be honest in their reactions. He encouraged them to show anger when they felt it, even though there was a chance it could become personal and have lasting consequences for relationships. But he recognized quickly that he couldn’t do that with Nolan Thomas’s assistants. They were afraid of their autocratic boss, who could end their careers as easily as he could promote them. They complained about his bossiness behind his back, but none would dare contradict him to his face. Which is why, even though they had reservations about their vulnerability in the dense undergrowth, they didn’t raise even their most serious apprehensions. They were familiar with the general outlines of what had happened to Duncan’s expedition but none of them had a real appreciation for the horrible things their quarry could do to them. Even Murphy felt somewhat intimidated by Thomas, even though he’d been cooperative and affable from the start.

As soundman Jack Walker and videographer Andy Wilson joined Thomas and Murphy on the hill, the producer instructed them to capture B-roll and audio to be used when the series was edited.

“Make sure you get the guys in the frame for establishing shots,” he said. “And Jack, get some of the monkey noise.”

“It’s pretty loud.”

“We’ll tone it down in post. Once you’ve got all that—make sure you get video of the monkeys, OK—then follow those guys down there,” Murphy said, pointing toward Gruber and his partner, “before they get out of sight. Any questions?”

“Light’s not great,” Wilson said.

“I don’t have to tell you how to do your job, do I?” Murphy said, sternly.

“Nope. Got it covered.”
