Question rg: ...And, when you had to do these fighting scenes, falling in the dust and the dirt, were you allowed to use this natural material, or no, did you need again the make-up artists, to make you artificially dusty and dirty?

Answer Jason Salkey: "We did use artifical dirt, but if we got mud or dirt on our hands or faces then no worries. Blood had to be reapplied to make it look fresh. And of course if too much dirt got on Seans face they would have to clean him up."

Jason Salkey and the Harris Video Diaries

 

"A diary or journal is a book for writing discrete entries arranged by date."
Wikipedia

 
 

Jason Salkey played from 1992 to 1997 in the extremely successful british TV-Series "Sharpe" the common Rifleman Harris. A first name was never revealed! When Jason Salkey came back to the filming of the third series in 1995, he had a Video Camera in his luggage and from then on filmed behind the scenes his own, very personal documentary about the real world of filming.
  Video - from the latin for I see
  "Video is the technology of capturing, recording, processing, transmitting, and reconstructing moving pictures, typically using celluloid film, electronic signals, or digital media"
