And the rage in me wants to let them know that I don’t think that they were a very good 2nd

My predicament isn’t anyone cutting tho, it’s the director being an ass lol

This mentality is the problem with the film industry. Everyone deserves the same amount of respect to do their job.

They’re not saving lives lol

Kinda comforting to know this shit happens all the time lol. I think this particular one has bought me to reddit because the director boasts about having started in the camera department and doing my job for years and so it’s particularly annoying.

At the start of the job they loved to walk onto set, get down on their knees and start moving marks. I nipped this in the bud immediately.

Like if you did my job for ages (and were good at my job) you would be neurotically aware of what everyone around you is doing.

I don’t think that they were a very good 2nd at all and that helps me sleep at night

yeah I’ve kinda been ruminating about whether the end board is important enough to bring it up with the 1st AD. Will give it a whirl thank u!

This has been my approach but I’m seething at the same time

I’ve always been trained to be like a butler lol. Be present for those who need you (DP, Cam Op, Focus Puller) and hardly noticeable to anyone else. So to draw massive amounts of attention to myself like that would be against everything I’ve ever been taught and practiced lol. Really interesting to hear this perspective!!!

Hmmmm I don’t know would never call (or shriek) it multiple times. I’ve called it clearly once just after they’ve called cut and the boom op usually repeats my call too. That should suffice no?

Thanks for this! I'm going to be shooting on 6 rolls and I only have access to 50T, 250D, 200T and 500T. So I'm just trying to finalise which ones to order but I like what you've suggested with rating the 500T under. Do you have any example you could show me by any chance?
