Basically I have a project I would like to direct, but I couldn't find enough talent in my own city, so I would like to shoot some of it here, with the people I have, as well as other scenes in another city. But rather than fly out there, it might save me on costs, if I just hire a second unit director in another city, to do the other scenes.
But is that a bad idea? I mean I will have no idea what the footage or audio is like till the first scene is shot, and by then it might be too late to change my mind.
But professional productions use second unit directors often, so what do you think?
