A few days ago, I worked on a set where we had to make about 80 extras look sweaty using coconut oil and sponges. Since there weren't enough sponges for everyone, I cut them into smaller pieces and gave each extra their own for hygiene reasons.
Some coworkers told me this was a bad idea and that it was easier to use the same sponges on everyone because there wasn't always time for people to get their own sponge during touchups. I disagreed, especially since some extras had acne or warts, and I felt they deserved a more hygienic approach.
What bothers me is that those coworkers keep getting called back to the project, while I've only worked one day, and only because someone else couldn't make it. Now I'm wondering if I came across as difficult or if I was wrong for prioritizing hygiene.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? Would you have done what you were told by your peers?
