Do you have a favorite film set word or phrase?
I love video editing and creating. I know it's completely different thing but I'd really love to go and see how a big Hollywood movie is being recorded. Or even work on one.
ad lib
So when Leo cut his hand with that glass in the movie Django Unchained and said some improvised sentences that was ad lab, right
@@PhotoOwl That was an ad lib for sure.
It’s a wrap! 😊
Thank you for the tips. I've worked on sets and have heard these terms and there's plenty more I don't know. Please compile a dictionary of current set lingo. Other than that, this was a really great video. By the way I thought striking was when they were breaking down the set and moving on to the next location.
It is used in both cases actually. Striking for lighting and as you brought up, striking a set when it's done being used.
Revealing the slightly sexist (read ' lonely nerd') side of 1940s filmsets: many lights have nicknames due to the strength, dimension and color temperature of them: blondes (2-3K), redheads (800W) and broads (around 1-2k, but the're wide, rectangular fill lights).
I'm sure giggling ensued when people were told to 'strike a redhead' or 'kill the blonde'.
Tortellini! Every fuxxing clamp that a director/DP don't know the name for...
i like,”it's a wrap ”
Some film Lingo -
Crossing: this is just a polite way that the camera operator know or anyone viewing the monitors know that you'll be passing in front of the lens of the camera
back to one: simultaneously letting the cast and crew know that we need to reset back to the beginning of what we just shot everyone immediately knows where we are starting from and we reset
Martini: Last shot of the day
In the Can: he shot has been successfully captured and it's time to move on
Flying in: Bring something on set and in the scene
Stinger: Heavier duty extension cord
dif: short for difusion
C-47s / Bullets: handy and familiar closepins are used by the truckload on film sets to help secure things
Hollywood: holding it by hand, under the gun and have to be quick or movement is required
Cutter / Flag: a handy little device that can be set up on a stand or Hollywood-ed to help control lights spilling onto unwanted areas of your scene these come in all shapes and sizes but generally they are rectangular
Cookie (cucoloris): essentially a flag with a pattern cut into it well in place over a light it produces a shadowed pattern over the subject or background
Striking: a way of letting everyone around you know that you're powering up a bright light fixture and to look away from the source
Lock it up: sually the first assistant director they are letting everyone know that it's time to be quiet and secure any potential spots around the set where an accidental disruption may occur anyone who doesn't comply will draw immediate ire from the AD and you don't want to be on the AD's bad side
Banana: Coming in at a curve
Don't forget "You're Caging". Something you say to an actor who is overdoing it. As in acting like Nicolas Cage. Another one is "Rolling a Tom" any scene involving the hero running or riding a motorcycle. OK I made those up but they should be phrases.
wow lol. Imagine the actor's faces hahaha
This is among the many MANY reasons we really Dig (LIKE) B & H Thank you for this and Yes/Oui we here have a fave saying on a set ... we just can't cuss on this channels comment section.
Excellent, very interesting!
Thanks for watching!
Creating sausage is never attractive. The same can be said for film/video.
Camera department lingo prank: Tell the green AC to bring a bag of t-stops. Hilarity ensues.
Very enjoyable! This should be helpful in the future thanks!
Glad you enjoyed!
I'm ten one in the can..
make another list plz!!! can u guys talk about what people on set want from makeup costumes props etc
Cookie? I’m sorry that’s a gobo
Backround 💥✨🍿
but what is a skyhook?
C47's... Hahaha!
Cringe content.
I don't know, it was quite funny and got the message across. Education doesn't always have to be serious!
YOU are cringe.
@@elboscohieronymusbosch370 Huh? Not sure that I understand the sentiment....makes no sense to me.
It can be cringe and funny at the same time.
Action.
That's a classic.
I like Clint Eastwood's "Action" which is "Okay, go ahead " said softly. Something he learned filming westerns. So the horses didn't get spooked.
