Allowing them to shoot many scenes in that time frame versus a single scene.

the issue being it's VERY difficult to shoot more than 1 scene a day... or even 1 scene per day. the flake rate is well over 40% now here in Montana. top shooters no longer have weekends off, once your a top shooter you have production schedules and site updates to meet. 3 girls don't show during the week, you toss your weekend plans with the family to make the deadlines.
