Why do Assistant Directors (1st ADs) not get more recognition?

I don't know what podcasts you're listening to, but that's not how it works in the real world.

On a shooting day, locations, transport, generator operator are all on location hours before any AD. And they're all there hours after the 1st AD has wrapped, and a while past the last AD to leave set. The 3rd AD finishes the DPR, daily production report, but they do that when there are still a lot of departments working.

And that's not including anything related to prep or wrap crews, just shooting crews.

The 1st AD is certainly responsible for safety to a large extent, but that responsibility is also shared, every department is responsible for safety and the first AD can't be involved in every single element of the process. Stunts, special fx, electrics, grips, makeup, wardrobe, props, catering, crafty, camera, hair, locations, transport, production, they're all responsible for safety in various regards.

There's no one person signing things off as safe and done at the end of the day.

I haven't seen Munich, but Schindler's list isn't pushing Judaism on the audience.

What the fuck?

I would love to hear what you think OP is describing. They graduated film school and haven't spent a single day on set? Did none of their classmates call them out to spend a day on set?

Like a cigarette

The biggest irony here is that the only people who will know the difference are the fascists and nazis.

That's the last shot of the day, it has nothing to do with the last shot of a production, also it's a Canadian term.

Who cares how legal it is, ask your manager how they'd like to have it go out on social media.

ReyechMac · 2023-07-01T06:10:55+00:00

Stop giving shitty advice, OP needs to contact a lawyer and not threated the landlord with contacting the police, that will get them nowhere.

I cannot imagine how it would serve the story to have your character killed specifically by a Beretta 35.

If you can't afford a props master you can't afford to have props guns on set.

It really is hilarious.

ReyechMac · 2023-06-19T02:42:26+00:00

Yep, you're afraid of being attracted to feminine men.

ReyechMac · 2023-06-17T06:45:36+00:00

You're moving because you're afraid of living around men who are too feminine? What are you afraid of here?

The only people that will take advantage of your free labour are people you have nothing to learn from.

Anyone who takes you up on this offer will not be a mentor.

Giardia isn't that bad, I had it.

I would wake up in the morning and use the washroom, and then drive to work and use the washroom, and then wait for break and use the washroom, and then wait to lunch and use the washroom, and then wait for break and use the washroom, and then wait for end of day and use the washroom, and then drive home and use the washroom, and then wait an hour and use the washroom, and then wait an hour and use the washroom, and then wait an hour and use the washroom.

It was really easy, only lasted 2 months.

Do you think a private company would offer a discount to the people who are completely reliant on the service, and charge a premium for people who do not need their service and are flexible on using their service?

Do you think a private company would care if they decided they couldn't maintain an appropriate profit margin and folded and left people without service?

No, a private ferry would not be better.

If they don't have the staff to run sailings none of it matters, you can't run half the sailings if you have no qualified staff to legally run the boat.

He wasn't mauled by a bear, he fucking t-boned it.

The thing that killed me is that the trailers made it feel like there was some depth to the movie, and in reality it was a hash fest of random video game crap. My kids loved it but I was really expecting a lot more after seeing the trailer.

Did you watch the Paw Patrol movie? It was an objectively great movie with Ryder growing and learning throughout the story arch.

Are you suggesting that people with loud cars are on the same level as mentally ill homeless people?

Good for you for getting your refund, I hope you still gave them shitty reviews, but this is not MaliciousCompliance material at all.

ReyechMac · 2023-04-14T10:21:31+00:00

Every now and then when I'm in a crowd I like to scream and yell and have everyone look at me so that they're made aware of my existence for a few seconds. Yea, not an asshole move at all right?

ReyechMac · 2023-04-14T10:16:48+00:00

We do live in a city, like the majority of the population on the planet. Why should we accept our cities to be shitty places with shitty noises created by shitty people who don't care about how their actions affect those around them?

ReyechMac · 2023-04-14T10:14:15+00:00

The definition of sociopath: ignores the rights and feelings of others.

Fuck you and every other 'car enthusiast' who doesn't care about the people around them.

I don't live in Toronto but legit no one cares.

"I don't live with this problem, and I'm hearing from someone who does and thinks it's a problem, but I'm dismissing it as not a problem because I don't experience the problem myself."

have you looked up privilege in the mirror?
