VAT OF CHOCOLATE CLAIMS PRECIOUS CAMERA
The dangers of using expensive equipment around a giant vat of chocolate were proven once again according to The IMDB:
The remake of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory was thrown into chaos on Wednesday when a worker dropped a $540,000 camera lens in a vat of chocolate. The clumsy technician had failed to properly secure his wire-held camera, and watched aghast as it plunged into the three foot deep tank. According to insiders, the delay the incident caused could cost director Tim Burton’s project up to $900,000. One source on the English set says, “When the camera fell it was like a slap-stick scene straight from the movie. A team of riggers had come in specially from the States to set it up over the vat of synthetic chocolate. But someone made a mistake and it wasn’t secured properly. The production team didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The camera is probably beyond repair.” A film spokesperson adds, “Technical tests were being carried out to see how close the camera could be moved to the chocolate. A camera did go into the liquid owing to a mechanical fault.”bummer

I wonder what Tim thought of that.He probably got pissed.
If it was a test, Tim wasn’t even there.
