On the first film I worked on, almost all of the main location was walled with white ceramic tile; needless to say, we got a lot of unwanted glare and reflection bouncing off the tile. While we knew that there is a product that can be sprayed on things like glass, computer monitors, high-gloss tile, etc. to fix this, it's sometimes hard to find (in a place like Lexington!) and can be expensive.

The solution? Aerosol anti-persperant. Just run to your local drugstore or Wal-Mart and for a few bucks, you can get rid of the glare. Keep in mind that this must be anti-persperant, not just deodorant. Also, be sure to ventilate the room properly while spraying this stuff around! We forgot to do that, and had to halt production for a half hour while some of our asthma-prone actors had to take a literal "breather" outside!
