Two tips that stick in people’s minds the most (in my experience). Carry two sharpies on you at all times and offer to mark people’s waters/coffees. This instills that you are reliable, dependable, and thoughtful. Whoever brought you into the job (DP if you’re an AC, Gaffer if you’re a Grip, etc) shoot them a text and ask them their coffee order (from a good coffee shop) before you arrive on set.
One more: “quiet on set” means “quiet on set”. Do not move a muscle. Any move you make can end up in audio or become a distraction. Shifting your weight could reveal a squeaky noise on a hardwood floor, etc. And for God sakes, turn the phone completely off during takes. I usually keep it off unless we’re specifically on break. Ruining a take is one of the worst feelings.
LOL! That happened to me. I was shooting stills on the set of a PSA that was using an OLD high school gymnasium for the location. I swear that EVERY floor board would squeak if any pressure was applied to it. This drove the camera dolly crew crazy. Eventually, we just had to lock the camera down for every shot and no one was allowed to walk around during a take. BTW, the school was one that Julia Roberts attended. And modes such as "Silent" or "Airplane" may not be enough. On some phones, an alarm or reminder that you set may still blast out some noise. OFF is best.
Great comment. Not that long ago I hired a different audio guy because of scheduling issues with my normal ones. This new location audio engineer is a very nice and fun fellow, but twice his phone rang during shots, causing us to have to cut and go back to one. The first time it happened, I looked at him, and felt that my expression had communicated all that needed to be said. I didn’t scowl, but I probably squinted and tilted my head to the side the way dogs do when they don’t understand what is happening. I should probably clarify that I was serving in the producer/director role for a smaller shoot. Anyway, apparently I was wrong because at the next location it happened again. At which point I turned to him and said, “You know you’re the audio guy, right?” He laughed, but I wasn’t laughing that second time and neither was the rest of the company. I also wasn’t chuckling much during the edit of those parts. Did he ruin the project? Of course not, but as anyone who works in this world will tell you, time is your most precious asset. I tend to take a “first one is free” attitude in that we all make mistakes, probably no one more than me, but you don’t make the same mistake more than once. He ended up moving to another part of the country - and remember, I thought he was very nice and had a great sense of humor, but moving forward from that project, I didn’t hire him again because of that second time that he allowed his personal communication device to cost everyone their time. I enjoy working with others who don’t take themselves too seriously, but always take the work seriously and his actions told me that he did neither. I do my best to create a relaxed and fun environment on set, but it’s important to remember that when you’re on set, unless it is a self-funded solo project, you’re always there on someone else’s dime, and your actions constantly communicate your attitude and reveal your value. Looong winded way of saying, yeah, great comment, lol.
Haha i would be very grateful if that happens, but im already genuinely happy this many people have tuned in. Blows my mind. Thanks so much for the hope David!
you all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Brantley Joaquin Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Note on the lens changing, when you retrieve the lens, take off both front and back caps and place them in the lens case. Do not put them in your pocket, that is how they get lost.
Not the best protocol, supply a pouch for the ac to have on his batman belt. Always keep lenses capped until on camera. Last thing I want is a scratch or big fat finger prints on the glass. Lowe's or home depot have perfect cheap pouches that can hold both the in cap and the front Lens element cap. If an AC is replaced He can just hand the pouch off to the replacement AC.
This is great Danny. I've been on set for 26 years as a FAD and a couple things I would add is don't be a fan boy/girl....externally anyway. I've had my share of PA's who loiter around the director's split too much and talk about wanting to direct. Almost EVERYONE wants to direct, but for this moment just do the job you have right now properly! Also you need to have a thick skin, you will f*ck up and you will get yelled at....we all have, but you learn, you pick yourself up and you carry on. 95% of your success in this industry is persistence. LOVE your channel.
Finally someone who knows his stuff, has a sense of self-irony and talks at a normal speed without waving the hands like crazy. Great channel, best regards from Germany! :)
I like the way you end "I love you" means you're nervous regardless the position where you are, and I would say I love the way you explain, so smooth made it sound so easy altough it looks like a lot of pressure once you are in set. Thanks you so much💕 I love you too😉
just wrapped my first day on set shadowing 2nd AC and this video will help me some much during day two and beyond. i just wished i had watched this earlier. thank you
I cant stress enough how much this channel has helped me to understand filming and all the technicals that go into it. Just amazing. Danny, we are all grateful and please continue your incredible work!
This channel truly feels like the journal of a filmmaker, nowaday filmmaking channels are all about following the trends, so refreshing to watch yet so underrated, plz don't lose yourself when this channel blow, cause I know it will.
Thank you for this. You explain everything so well, and adding in like that you have been yelled at for running on set, or made a fool of for not asking, makes someone with RSD autism who is extra hard on myself about how I do the job, feel less crappy about mistakes I've made.
Should note: When it comes to lens hand-offs, some environments should require you to keep that sensor cap on, especially in situations of high dust, debris, moisture, etc... That lens sensor needs to be protected at all costs, and if you're walking 50 meters with that lens sensor unprotected, that can introduce problems. Always be aware what situation you are shooting in.
1:52 I cracked up... (FUNNY) ... You hitting that C-Stand... I am impressed. *Show don't tell... You're do a great job by not just telling us, but showing us too.
Hey, Danny! So much good information in so short time! 19 minutes passed so smoothly it felt more like 5. The way you tell things, we can imerse ourselves into your story as we were part of it. Sooo good. Although I'm in a different country and lingo can be a bit different, I still find valuable content in here! Keep the good work!
Thanks. Yes, there are a lot of terms that are used on set. The thing is, none of the popular channels are tell what they are. I think this will be helpful to many people.
11:11 Before I made films, I was a musician for 10 years. The first couple of years, before we could afford roadies, I had to wrap my own sound cables. Learning this skill translated seamlessly to the film set. Today, I own those cables (or I should say my company owns them), and I personally teach this skill to anyone working with sound cables.
Love this! Even for the C stand bit alone. I never had any formal studio training so totally feel like I'm winging it sometimes but this was amazing. Such a fan of all your content : )
thank you so much for the info. I got my first real time to work as PA on a big budget production tomorrow. I can't wait and I can't believe it's happening.
phone on set is both a hindrence and a great help as AC AD and DOP i have the call sheet and shot list on my phone and i also use my phone to keep an eye on continuity as you said the big no no is social media a rule i learnt early on as my first sets where as a stills photographer.
So many things I also learned in photography school, and now as an assistant in a studio. But in Japan, so I needed lot of the English vocabulary you showed us in this video. Always learning!
Yo man thank you so much for this!! Literally watched this 22 times before I walked on set today and I new all the terminology/ rules cuz for you!! Ty❤️
What he DIDN'T mention is that stingers are wrapped over-over but XLR and BNC cables are wrapped over-under. This guy is clearly in camera dept because his cable knowledge was quite lacking in this video unfortunately.
11:10 Haha, I argued until my senior year at film school that none of us learned how to properly wrap a cable. This list is really great Danny. Thanks for sharing.
Of course the vernacular is different in every area. I always was taught "hands on" instead of "got it" before you let go. And "solid" instead of "floppy". I enjoy the video content. Thanks for the visual art.
LOVE your tips! Reminds me of when I first moved to Hollywood, sleeping on floors until I could start working as a PA on paid jobs. I think my first job was literally picking up cig butts off the set. 😂 I especially liked your text graphic about being someone's rock... that will take you so far and make you invaluable!
3:40 i had that on a wedding😬 Luckily, it was them kissing after the ceremony specifically for the video. I told them "that shot was great👌 But can we take another shot, just to be safe?"😂
This is about all of the things I was uncertain on my first shootings, learning them the hard way was fun tho lol, also loved the feedback on comment section, this channel is gonna form a beautiful community. Best low budget crafty is cereal and yogurt, maybe fruits in it too. Breakfast, in between snacks and dessert if you wish, just love it. (English not my first language so sorry for the mistakes if there is some)
Incredibly helpful and informative video - can't believe this kind of stuff is free! I will add one thing, and someone may have mentioned this already, but coming from an audio engineer, best practice for wrapping cables is the over-under method - it looks like you were only wrapping over which has a higher tendency to cause kinks and tangling. Hope this doesn't come across as trying to criticize, just thought I'd share my own experience :) cheers, Danny!
Learning how to make an independent film with a very small budget, so this may seem like useless information for me but I actually loved the info. I will look into some of this equipment and definitely learned about communicating, handling and transporting them all properly!
for wrapping cables I came across a set where they showed how to wrap one way then the other alternating (reversed loop), this was an outdoor action shooting group and doing it this way meant that the cable couldn't tangle or crimp and pulling one end would undo the loops correctly every time.
Your comment about always wanting to be running struck a wonderful flicker of a memory. When I was 19-20ish I somehow got an interview with a big production company and I knew I was going to kill it and be the next big dude on set... Long story short, after a great interview I was relaxed and for some reason blurted out, yea, you know I always have the need to run up a flight of stairs, that's just who I am and they all looked at me like, uh I was crazy! lol Didn't get the job but I still run up stairs.
never seen a video like this; going over on-set terms, LOVE IT!! Always learning something new from your videos and i appreciate the efforts you put in, it does not go unnoticed. Thanks Danny!
This is just good information for anybody making videos and who will likely work with some of this gear in the future on set or not. Especially C stand etiquette. People can get seriously injured (and have) by not using them properly. Even larger RUclipsrs, Peter McKinnon specifically don't always use c stands right like in his overhead rig video. All of this is just good practice everyone should know if they plan on being in the film industry in any capacity. Awesome video as always man! Another great video would be work flow and post production file management going from raw files to hard drives. There needs to be a lot more of these videos covering the less flashy parts of video production, but arguably the most important things that can save your ass in the long run
This video makes it obvious that you have real life experience that many RUclipsrs (like me) never get. Just by watching this I feel much more prepared for my first day on set, should that ever come 🤔
@@DannyGevirtz I just mean that I don't think that's my plan or path. It would definitely be fun and a great experience, just don't know if I'd enjoy doing it long term, but you never know til you try so...
Another solid video man! I’ve been binging your stuff the past two weeks as I’ve had a sudden interest in trying out more film work vs photo for a while and your channel is full of good info so thanks heaps for putting that all out there. Keep the killer stuff coming mate. 🤘🏻
i am going to start my film career and you spread a smile on my face, i really feel excited to be on the set because of you! thank you!! you're a great help! :)
This was a very educational video for like most of your videos are, so thank you! I shall be more prepared when I do get the opportunity to be on a set.
Excellent video, thank you. Well presented, valuabe info. I was a stills fashion/still life pro and have taken an interest in film production and though there are some similarities on set it's great to know film production lingo. Cheers for that 👍
I can already see you getting 1 million subs! For real! Keep up the good work 👊🏼👊🏼 Your vidoes are very informative and you got a charming personality !
Watching this at 4am before going on a commercial set just saved me from making a fool of myself 🙏

Calling it now! This channel is sooner or later going to join the big ones like Potato Jet, Gerald, or Josh.
Amazing quality as always!
Haha i would be very grateful if that happens, but im already genuinely happy this many people have tuned in. Blows my mind. Thanks so much for the hope David!
It is already better. 💙
That's the thing, if you are giving real helpful info folks will catch on sooner or later. Keep doing your thing man.
"Amen Brother David" ... "Amen"
Number is not important. .for me this channel is far batter than them
Dude I love wrapping cables 😂😂😂
Over-under is a technique everyone should know even for house extension cords
I find that 90% of people on set are just there to stare at the monitor. Like... what are you doing here? lol
hahaha oh yeah man especially on the client side.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

This is the kind of information people should be aware of, you should make a Part 2
I feel like I should be paying for this
Haha just passing on what others have taught me!
YES... He should have a Master Class.

Yes...bro this guy is really good
this guy is so nice that starts the video with "my little angels" and ends it with "i love you"

What an awesome name Aladin. Thanks so much for the support! Pumped you discovered the channel!
loved this! really liked the way you explained everything and how honest you were :D
A super valuable video, very interesting. Can't wait to confuse all my friends on set by requesting a gang of Gary Colemans.

What he DIDN'T mention is that stingers are wrapped over-over but XLR and BNC cables are wrapped over-under. This guy is clearly in camera dept because his cable knowledge was quite lacking in this video unfortunately.
... and never EVER do an "elbow wrap" on ANY cable.
@@dictionaryofwords1108 Second this! Hate to unwrap an XLR that wasn't wrapped this way.
If someone wrap my Xlr cable this way, he just doesn't wrap no more cable in his life.

Amazing content!
Too add on are lights on set! Say "striking" when turning on lights! Haha.

Watching this during quarantine because I'm missing set life. 🙁 (Just recently discovered your channel. Loving it 🤙)
Haha it’s tough but glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thanks man!
Your comment about always wanting to be running struck a wonderful flicker of a memory. When I was 19-20ish I somehow got an interview with a big production company and I knew I was going to kill it and be the next big dude on set...
Long story short, after a great interview I was relaxed and for some reason blurted out, yea, you know I always have the need to run up a flight of stairs, that's just who I am and they all looked at me like, uh I was crazy! lol
Didn't get the job but I still run up stairs.
"10-1" - "10-2" - "Butt Plug" - "Stand in" - "Apple Box - Chicago" - "Martini Shot" (I love learning the language and traditions on the film set)
Sounds like a boy’s club.

I knew most but there was a couple little things in there as a fun reminder. Well done as always my friend. -Little Angel #19
Hahahah I hate that I kept the little angel part in there. Thanks for watching brotha!
@@DannyGevirtz No way dude! The little angel part sealed the deal for me. If I had one tip to add, it be to keep using that. haha
Excellent video, thank you. Well presented, valuabe info. I was a stills fashion/still life pro and have taken an interest in film production and though there are some similarities on set it's great to know film production lingo. Cheers for that 👍

I love the over over wrapping. If you go over under and someone left handed picks the cable up they could knot each loop if they throw it out wrong
