Michael McQueen Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 i do such a mix of corporate and sports/reality that it kinda depends on the job. one corporate client will add on the call sheet for the crew to either dress for outdoor work or dress for office type of work, so that makes it easy. but generally the only thing that will change on an outdoor condition shoot and corporate/office type of shoot is footwear and pants/shorts. i generally wear a type of collared shirt to most shoots(REI and outdoor type of collared shirts). so i generally try to be fairly presentable, minus my beard, haha.

Ian Thomson Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 dark natural fibres (less noise and reflection possibilities) usually a pair of cargo pants (sides fit in the big pocket quite well) and a T-shirt comfortable thin soled shoes rain-jacket/pants and a quick change of clothes never too far away.

atheisticmystic Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Ethically slaughtered and skinned, free-range Naugahyde boxer-briefs, a chlorine-free, hand-twilled, fair-trade hemp Henley, organic bamboo artisanal stockings and surprise surprise... righteously sainted-trousers.

Geoff Tirrell Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Living in Florida it's almost 100% like this. Yes one of the things I never quite got over after moving to Dallas was the much relaxed dress code. I do a similar mix of work to michael and often find myself overdressed on corporate shoots, Unless it is a financial company. Because I still insist on wearing a collared button down type shirt and long pants unless we are outside and it is over 100. It surprises me how many times I am better dressed than a lot of the employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 On narrative stuff, its cargo pants and a black (or dark colored) t-shirt. On corporate gigs, its nicer pants and a button down shirt. Footwear of choice lately is black Palladium boots. They're like Converse Chuck Taylor's, but with support... ETA: I did a recording at a grave side eulogy a few months back, and I wore a coat and tie to that. Definitely the most well dressed I ever showed up at a gig, and oddly, I was more well dressed than any of the men at the funeral, aside from the mortuary crew.

AndyB Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 well usually saran wrap and I get these weird looks. Reminds me of a joke...A man walks into a psychiatrist's office naked, wrapped in saran wrap. He asks "Doc, what's wrong with me?" The psychiatrist replies, "Well, I can clearly see your nuts"....

engaudio Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 A regular (corporate shoots) client once remarked that he appreciated me turning up looking neat and tidy. Turned out my replacement one day wore beach shorts and jandels (aka flipflops) to a shoot with a bank CEO. (wtf?) I'm usually overdressed (but practical) as I like nice clothes.. Like Ian I always have a backpack with a rain jacket and weather depending, spare warm top/cool shirt. Needed it today as what was listed as a studio shoot changed to EXT on a very windy/cold hill and I was the only crew member prepared. Grant.

Malcolm Davies Amps CAS Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 When I joined the BBC in 1960 everyone wore a suit and tie and it was frowned apon if you didn't.

stevegrider Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 My uniform is a dark polo shirt, cargo shorts and New Balance shoes. In the colder months, or when etiquette dictates, I will switch to cargo pants. Good shoes are a must in that we can be on our feet all day. Most crew are wearing a t shirt they got for free, and $150 shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlimp Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 trekking shoes, cargo pants, outdoor jacket. "DOBLY" t-shirts (Spinal Tap movie reference). black. baseball cap if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry long Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 haha lots of great responses! the reason I ask is my wife told me when we first started dating that she thought that old school black penny loafers were hot. Im like, never in a million years! I recently go a pair and wow thay are so comfortable. Well the other day waking up in a fog I put them onbecause we were working on stage. I looked down at my feet later in the day and thought to myself "I'm becoming one of those guys I never thought I would be" but I kinda dig it. That led me to think about what Malcolm remembers. I was just curious. Like everyone else I try to dress practical especially in the NC heat and humidity, shorts and collared shirts or black V necks. Can you imagine working the way we do now in suits pushing carts around in the heat when they put the sound trailer past the shitter then tell you there's no room for your trailer and it'll have to go back to base camp. Oh well that's another rant! thanks for playing! Oh Eric I'll meet you on isle 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
