Thanks Allen, I learnt alot from this ( most of it is common sense) but its surprising how many people DON'T have common sense these days. Thanks for all of the content, I'm getting my way through your channel and soaking up the education.
This is such a relevant and urgent topic for us here in Brazil. I recall being on a set in 2017 when the gaffer put a halt to the set due to a safety concern, and it was basically the first time I had ever thought about that. He was clearly the exception (and it was quite a minor problem, he was worried that someone might hit their face on a too-clean wide glass door, so he threw some tape on it as a reminder). Unfortunately a year later we lost a fellow worker in the film industry, and it was a big shock for everyone, but at the same time everyone knew we're not always safe all the time. So hopefully things will change for better from now on.
With you on this. Was art directing a TV series shooting outside Toronto a few years back. Camera, operator, DOP and director in a drainage ditch looking up the hill towards a stunt woman who was supposed to fall off a bicycle and end up in front of camera. Small piece of lexan protecting only the camera. Looked dangerous so I told the 1st AD and DOP that the bike could keep going. They laughed it off. Action... And she falls and the bike hits something and starts to spin in the air, over the camera. It missed the director and the DOP's heads by just inches. I was on the other side of the road watching.
Camera people have no reason to put themselves in danger this day and age. Remote heads, remote focus pulling... Remote everything. Hardline it if you're concerned. Pointing out the liability and safety concerns should not be ignored and if they are, call the safety hotline as soon as concerns are ignored.
Yeah, I knew her and had worked with her on a few shows. We're weren't close or anything but at work, we were always right next to each other (boom op and 2nd AC) and got along great. Talked daily. She was supposed to be on my show the day after she was killed but... Sarah was amazing and will be missed.
You don't need to worry about the length of your rants. Short vids are more accessible and may at times get more views, but when it's above 10-ish minutes, I think the listeners don't mind if it ends up 22 or 55 minute long.

Thank you for the comment. There's a lot to unpack in this episode for sure but it's an important topic to discuss.
@@SoundSpeeds I have found in the past that as soon as you mention the word "liability", it gets people attention faster than anything else
Exactly right. The combination I covered in this episode has gotten me great results.

It takes us crew keeping them honest for it to happen. If we tolerate and allow unsafe conditions around us, it'll continue to happen.
Our health and safety is everything. Great video
Thanks for watching

Your videos are always super helpful and informative.
Thank you Paul. It's good to know people watch and appreciate them.
"We are Sarah Jones"

Great video really enjoyed this! Good descriptions
Thank you and thank you for watching too
Safety training. I don’t want to have to sit through another one of these, but you did not dismiss us non-film folks.
Of course not. It's an important topic

You have lots of good insight to share, I definitely welcome your long forms.
Thank you. Kinda like a LIVE stream but not LIVE. The 3BO series is always like this.
