Director/D.O.P Frank Mirbach going trough the next scene with Dietrich Hollinderbäumer in the warden´s costume

Didi has to let go of his helmet. Easy. So it seems. But the damn thing is NEVER falling as it´s supposed to do. As those helmets were created, Ralf Burmester decided to make an easy padding inside, consisting of foamed material, which was never supposed to be on screen. Besides, all the cabling and the battery for the helmet´s intercom system is there, too. All is visible any time the helmet drops down. I want it to fall in a way we can´t see inside. Didi tries again and again. Then it happens: The helmet smashes. I can´t stand it. It´s like a child´s loved toy is broken. I love our props and we have only 4 of those helmets, which leaves us with 3 of them now. Fortunately, after take 30 or so, it seems we can wrap for today. Hope Ralf can fix the broken helmet.
