And you're also right in...Well put, Andrew! :D<br /><br />And you're also right in that I do have to stand-in for the regulars on our camera-blocking day, moving around like a trained monkee from mark to mark on the floor while cameras set shots. <br /><br />On my last show they had us do all the dialogue for cameras and line cues of when to move/reset. Meanwhile, my current show seems content to just have us stare mutely at each other. (???) Go figure... But I still love the biz! :)<br /><br />And hey, watch out for the elephants!!! :D<br /><br />~PennyPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106831324794353723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18058147.post-6702323123737461932011-09-02T09:46:00.741-04:002011-09-02T09:46:00.741-04:00Useless DP's are a particular irritant of mine...Useless DP's are a particular irritant of mine! ;-)<br />Ah, you know I did presume you were standing in for the REGULARS rather than the day players. And yes I read your entire blog and didn't realize that.<br />But leave the circus? Man, this is the wrong crowd to talk to about LEAVING the circus! My studio is in the back of a theater in New York, so I'm a step away from the greasepaint and the trapeze every day! ;-)Andrew Bellwarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718623679244389126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18058147.post-58311867454518669082011-09-02T00:29:22.819-04:002011-09-02T00:29:22.819-04:00Thanks Andrew - I appreciate the "props"...Thanks Andrew - I appreciate the "props"! :) <br /><br />Oddly, on multi-camera sit-coms lighting is not usually a big part of my job unless we're on location or the DP is moderately inept on stage. (My lawyer says I have to protect myself from disclosing any names...) <br /><br />Mostly I'm employed as cheap labor to perform in lieu of Day Players that the Networks don't want to compensate for an entire week.<br /><br />But hey, leave the circus? I think NOT! :)<br /><br />Thanks again, and best wishes on your ventures,<br />~PennyPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106831324794353723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18058147.post-45793973601101345312011-09-01T09:54:15.821-04:002011-09-01T09:54:15.821-04:00Hello!
Regular readers of this blog (there's ...Hello!<br /><br />Regular readers of this blog (there's a small cadre of micro-studio-esque filmmakers) know that we tend to not have "first team" and "second team". If we need someone to stand in for lighting -- we make first team do it! ;-)<br /><br />So as a fellow worker I respect your job just fine. As a producer I want to make the leads be their own stand-ins. Now, admittedly y'all on multi-camera shoots have somewhat different problems than single-cam features so if I were producing a multi-cam comedy I might change my mind butt-quick! (Is "butt-quick" even right? I bet it's "but-quick" but "butt-quick is funnier.)Andrew Bellwarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718623679244389126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18058147.post-58537183439729887282011-09-01T03:38:56.843-04:002011-09-01T03:38:56.843-04:00Hi Andrew,
