"A Wonderful Case of Nepotism" with Assistant Director Terry Bamber

<p>THIS ADVENTURE! </p><p><br></p><p>Assistant director Terry Bamber joins The Young Indy Chroniclers to trace a career that began on the set of You Only Live Twice as a nine-year-old and eventually landed him three episodes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, including the show&#39;s single trip to India. Bamber describes growing up the son of a film industry veteran, training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art before trading acting for assistant directing, and getting pulled onto Young Indy through a recommendation from unit production manager Charles Salmon. He walks through the India shoot&#39;s tight budget and crash course in local religion, then recounts the Kenya production, which ended with a joke call sheet and a handful of incidents that meant he wasn&#39;t invited back, though he&#39;s quick to note he wasn&#39;t always the one at fault. Family stories thread through the conversation, from his father&#39;s work with Charlie Chaplin and on the early Bond films to a chaotic 101 Dalmatians shoot involving thirty sleeping puppies and a runaway Borzoi. Bamber also shares a run of James Bond stunt stories, including the Die Another Day ice chase and his own cameo as a snow-covered 007 impersonator, before weighing in on AI filmmaking, the industry&#39;s long hours, and the footage from Young Indy still sitting in his garage on aging videotape.00:00 Intro03:01 Meet Terry Bamber: A Childhood on Bond Film Sets15:08 Landing the Job on Young Indiana Jones19:38 Filming India: Religion, the Ganges, and Corey Carrier32:11 Kenya and a Tomb Raider Connection33:49 Ireland, Phantom Train of Doom, and a Cut Scene in a Bond Film39:27 Dad&#39;s Carry On Films and a Chaotic 101 Dalmatians Shoot47:48 The Joke Call Sheet and Not Being Asked Back 50:11 AI, Green Screens, and Why Location Filming Still Wins56:48 Zulu, Young Catherine, and a Star Wars Connection59:27 Ball of Death: Shooting Abroad Before the Internet1:06:18 Bond Stories: Die Another Day and a Note From Barbara BroccoliSubscribe for new episodes of The Young Indy Chroniclers every two weeks.
