Alex DeLarge from ALS Scan writes: We too have heard of all of the drama going on with Tanner Mayes and the incident that resulted in her “meltdown” or “blowup” video.
I want to go on record and say that she has been nothing less than amazing for us to work with. We shot her in the states back in February 2009 and she was very professional, respectful, and hard working. So much so, that we then booked her for a one week shoot in the Caribbean. At that shoot she provided us with some of the best footage that any model has ever provided in all the years are have shot in the Tropics.
Then amidst all of this “meltdown” drama we decided to book her for a nearly two-week trip to Budapest, Hungary. This time we brought her on to work with our crew not as a model but as a Production Assistant. I can easily say that Tanner was one of the best Production Assistants that we have ever had in the 13 years we have been in business. This was not easy work.
We had to get up virtually every day before 7am and the productions rarely finished before 9pm. She was always on time and she worked hard, in fact she did many things above and beyond what she was expected to do. For
example, Tanner brought 3 suitcases of her own clothes, shoes, and jewelry, and anytime a model did not have the proper wardrobe, Tanner always jumped in and offered up her entire wardrobe to the model so we
could find something proper for them to wear for the scene.
She did the models makeup, hair, and coordinated the set colors for every
scene – we shot 44 photo scenes and 48 video scenes on this trip. Tanner worked fucking hard every minute of every day! Not only did she do her Production Assistant duties, she also acted as a model anytime she was called upon to do so. Tanner always, and I mean always, had a smile on her face and she brought passion and excitement to every scene. All of the models loved her and Tanner’s presence on the set brought their performances to a higher level.
I am sure that she had a bad day when that “blowup” video occurred – hell everybody has bad days. But Tanner is a very reliable, professional, and hard working girl who takes her job and responsibilities seriously. I
could go on and on about how great Tanner was on this trip, but I think you all get the idea. I can only hope that we have the pleasure of working with Tanner again someday as a model and as a Production
Assistant. She fully understands both sides of the business.
