How involved do you get with the slating process that it would be something you would have to speak to the director about? I usually just jam the thing and pass it off to the 1st or 2nd AC and then go on with my day. What they do with it is up to them. Last week production requested a timecode slate, they rented it from me, I hand it off the AC, they never actually slate takes. I don't feel responsible for that. How did you deal with Meta data at this point? Just take 1,2,3 ... or did you and the AC still figure out a system regardless of the slate? This happened to me the other day and I was like hmm okay so well just wing it. Quote

Izen Ears Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 Love this thread!!! Great idea. Hey Jeff - #1 sticky this! It’s been so long since I’ve worked with that level of dumb I don’t remember any stories! If I do, I will be sure to post. Most of my staggeringly myopic quotes have come from actors lately. And they’re much sadder than funny... Quote
