Thanks for this informative and very entertaining vid! I'm relieved that 10-1 can cover any restroom need, as I've heard that some sets require full disclosure so they'll know how long you might be off set (10-1=gotta pee; 10-2=gotta do the other; 10-3=either sick to your stomach or something even more private than 10-2). With 14-hour days, any of the above would be understandable, but as long as no one lingers unnecessarily, I agree that 10-1 is sufficient notice.

A "walk away" is more commonly used in modern film terminology to describe a situation in which the crew wraps filming for the day at particular location and does not have to break down, load out, or lock up gear as they will be resuming filming in same location and production wants to get crew off the clock as these would most likely be the hours pushing them into double and triple OT. Sometimes the location may not have a secure lockup, the production may not have the budget for security or the location has a secure lockup which requires breaking down or moving gear. In these cases it is not a true walk away.

@@FilmJams The tricky ones are the international differences. In the UK instead of calling roll camera and roll sound they simply say "turnover". Film lingo is so quirky and interesting. I remember thinking to myself the first time I was on set that it sounded like everyone was speaking a foreign language. I've been in our industry for 14 years now (union for 9) and I still hear terminology that I have never heard on almost every new show. It's like this group of cool kids are constantly evolving their vernacular. Apparently it's not C47 anymore, it's "peg" or "bullet" and yet we still say "checking the gate" even though we rarely shoot on cameras with a gate now. There also seems to be a lot of proprietary lingo from film to scripted to commercial to live sports to reality and so on.

@@stereothrilla8374 Ha! Haven't heard the "turnover" term before. That's interesting. I worked a German movie once and they would say "we make the rehearsal", and then "And so..." for action or "Und bitte" or "and please" ..."Achtung" sometimes. That's so true tho it is like it's own little language. I have people visit sets sometimes, and they're like I have no idea what you guys are saying lol...kinda cool tho that each little faction of filmmaking/sports/Tv has its own terms!

10-1 is short for 10-100 which is a CB/Truckers term for a bathroom break, some have taken that farther to indicate a longer break for the obvious reason which is 10-200! Flying in: is indeed when something is rapidly in its way into the set (or nearby). However in the instance described if a Director asks for a prop, and an PA (Production Assistant) brings it in, he or she will be in violation of a Union Contract as only a Prop Person (or Prop Master) is empowered to do so. This would only happen in a ultra low budget production. A C-Stand is short for Century Stand , originally named after it's first manufacturer, Century Lighting in NYC Gaff tape? Never heard it shortened like that (in a Professional Application) as anything but "Gaffers Tape". This is used by both the Grip and Electrical Department to secure multiple elements and is never used as shown to set marks for an actor or anyone or object on a set floor. Those marks are set by Camera Assistants with colored "Camera Tape" which is generally one inch wide and helps the cast members (including extras) find and return to the position in which the lights and camera's focus and position has been set for them. Often an actor has multiple positions. This is why colored tape is used for them to locate each of their own marks among others for each scene. Camera tape is also used to set dolly marks to return the camera or crane to its start and subsequent positions during the setup. It can be used to mark the starting position of a vehicle as well as many other things that need referencing. And in the conclusion: Contrary to the close of this otherwise informative video, P.A.'s rarely touch filmmaking equipment at least in mainstream productions. Production Assistants are first and foremost members of the Production Team and under the direction of the Assistant Directors. They hold important (albeit anonymous) responsibilities such as distribution of paperwork, holding frame lines (Keeping public and others out of shots), assisting in the background staging (sparingly and only when safety is a concern), helping in the basecamp in loading cast and crew into vans, accompanying Cast to set, running minor errands and so on. They should never touch equipment that is within the jurisdiction of other departments such as Camera, Grip/Electric Equipment, Vehicles, Props etc. even in non-union applications unless the budget is quite low.

what is grip and foley

@FilmJams

3 жыл бұрын

Grip can have a few different meanings. It can mean the crew member that is a grip (works with lighting department to move stands and grip gear), or it can mean the actual grip equipment (like a grip truck filled with Apple boxes, stands, sandbags, etc.). Foley is recording sound in post to sync up with actions in the film. For example recording footsteps in the sound booth to sync up to a character walking in the film. Typically used to accentuate the sound design or fill in if it was missed being recorded on set. You can check out this video we did on ADR and Foley if you’d like to learn more: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ealhp7qQca_Jebw.html

Everything was explained well, I just don't believe many of these are among the top terms to know on a set. Lots of gear terminology mixed with production speak. I think it would be helpful to delineate which terms are native to which departments, or perhaps to a video of top terms for each department. A PA will probably not be grabbing duck bills or other grip items as that will most likely be handled by a grip so they have no real need to know this unless they are looking to become a grip themselves. Radio chatter/etiquette is a great place to start when it comes to teaching film lingo as this is generally where the new people will be spending most of their time when they start out (As Production Assistants).

Perhaps you are confusing it with the term with Honeywagon? This is a long vehicle driven by a Semi Truck which houses multiple small dressing cubicles for actors , extras, and stunt folk, each with a small bathroom. It generally also has two slightly larger bathroom cubicles use by the crew w/one for each gender. Ironically the term is derived from a a slag term for a sewage truck outside of the business.
