Conflicts on-set arose almost immediately upon commencement of filming. The first scenes to be shot were those which take place in Dr. Eldon Tyrell's (Joe Turkel's) office. Despite careful pre-production, director Sir Ridley Scott was very dismayed to find that the columns of the office had been built upside down; rearranging them took several hours. After two weeks of shooting, he decided he didn't like the lighting for the scenes, and ordered everything to be re-shot from scratch. This not only put this movie two weeks behind schedule only two weeks into the shoot, but also created a major conflict between Scott and the camera crew, headed by director of photography Jordan Cronenweth. Scott's perfectionism throughout production would often cause considerable delays when he decided to change lighting and sets on the spot. He also had many unused takes printed at considerable cost, causing the budget to inflate rather quickly. This also put a strain on his relation with the producers, but Scott stood his ground, and maintained that his background in commercials and keen eye for detail were exactly the reasons they had hired him.
