I actually don’t have any experience with filming in cadaver labs during procedures. Is it an autopsy or is it a procedure on a prepared (embalmed) cadaver? In the latter case, smell is not an issue, but if it’s an autopsy it certainly can be. I have heard of people putting some tiger balm or menthol-based ointment under their nose to take off the edge.

Good luck with the shoot!

I stumbled onto your site and read this article. I have to say I am a bit worried about my next shoot in a couple of weeks. I have filmed in the OR a number of times and can eat a tuna sandwich while editing spinal surgery. But this next shoot is filming a surgical technique in a cadaver lab.
I’ve edited cadaver footage, and it is a bit different. I haven’t experienced, in person, the subtle details of working with a cadaver, especially the smell.
Have you any words of wisdom?
Thanks
David
