Guest Mick Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 1.19.07 Studio...early morning. A.D. "OK, Roll!" Boom man. "Let's wait for the heater to cycle down" A.D. "Rolling, rolling." Boom man. "We just need 10 seconds, it won't be long." Director. "Let's roll! Now!!" Boom man. "It's still noisy." A.D. "Gotta go, gotta go." Me. (via headsets) "Speed." Boom man. "Speed" 1st.A.C. "Marker." Director "....and...action...no, no cut, cut. There's a flyaway on her head, just there...see it?" A.D. "Cut, cut. Hair! Makeup!" Hair and makeup rush in and proceed to futz. Wardrobe joins the fray and rollers off invisible int from areas not even on camera. DP tweaks a light here and there. PA runs to get water for actress. Me to Boom man via PL. "Do you think if you had a magazine on your head and a lens in your mouth (PG version) we'd get some consideration?" He knows better than to answer. Makeup needs a little time to re-adjust the lipstick because the actress smudged it while drinking the water. Hair and makeup. "We won't be long." Director. "TAKE YOUR TIME."

tomholman Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Mick, Well said, same thing happen to me on a spot here in NY last week. After 35 + years I was thinking, am I getting too mellow? Na, they will do 25 more takes & I keep good notes. Thanks. Best, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hey Mick, greetings. You paint a good picture with words, you should be a writer. I've seen this scene in many variations over the years and it never fails to move me. They say laughing and crying are the same release, so we got that going for us. Nice post.
