What up everyone, it's your girl Superwoman!
When I was younger,
I used to be so intrigued
by movie sets, actors, and pee-pees.
And now that I'm older,
I've had the chance to be on a lot of movie sets,
actors, and pee-pees.
What? I wish.
What? Huh?
Moving on.
And when my friends ask me how movie sets are,
I tell them they're awesome,
but there are a few things about set life
that are absolutely ridiculous.
So, if you've never been on a movie set,
here's what goes down.
Number one: over-communication.
Now there's a lot of reasons to communicate
everything that happens on a set, you know.
For efficiency, for safety, to sound cool, et cetera.
But sometimes it's a little overkill,
not to mention it's not English.
(straw slurping)
Yeah, you know what? Let me get fill.
Copy.
Audition it.
Striking.
Striking!
Copy.
Spraying.
Copy.
Martini's up!
Copy that. Last looks.
Stepping in!
Standing by.
Camera speeds.
Sounds speeds. Yup. Second sticks!
Copy that. Second sticks!
Copy.
[Offscreen] Copy.
Copy, copy that. Copy you. Copy, copy, copy.
(straw slurping)
This is not an exaggeration, literally.
And that language gets engraved into your mind, okay?
I be out there flirting with boys just like:
Stepping in.
Hey, so I was wondering,
did you want to like want to go for,
I don't know, craft services together sometime, maybe?
- Maybe Saturday?
- Copy that. You know, I finish last looks at around eight,
so why don't you pick me up around magic hour?
- Uh, kay.
- Copy that, that's a wrap on flirting.
(whispering) Excited in my loins! Exiting Frame.
That's right! My flirting is like a movie.
You mean like the bloopers?
Get the f outta here!
Number two: job descriptions.
On a set, every person has a very specific job
that they take super seriously.
Which, basically means:
yo, back the f up and respect my craft!
No one does anyone else's job,
no matter how minor it is.
- [Voice Offscreen] Okay, pictures up!
Uh, no, wait, no. We got a little, uh, hair on her cheek.
I could just...
Hair, can we get hair?
Oh yeah, there is a hair on the cheek.
So, can you just?
Hair is flying in!
(dramatic music)
(quietly) Okay.
Uh, no, we got a little bit of her tag in the shot.
Can we get a wardrobe?
Number three: hurry up and wait!
Anyone who has ever been on a set
is very familiar with this term.
It basically means that you're gonna arrive to set so early,
they're going to tell you to get ready ASAP,
then once you're ready,
you're going to wait anywhere from two to five hours
to shoot your scene.
[Voice Offscreen] Thanks so much, Lilly.
I'll come to get you when we're ready.
Okay, sounds good, thank you!
(clock ticking)
[Voice Offscreen] We're all set for your scene!
(cane loudly clinking) It's my time to shine!
Straight up the younger and older version
of Rose from Titanic was played by the same actress, okay?
They just had to move lights in between.
Everything moves so slow and takes forever.
And that's wrap!
(clapping)
(sighs) 14 hours? Not bad.
Uh, can we get a playback on what we shot today?
(mysterious music)
Man, that's good.
Wow. Wow.
(clapping)
It's beautiful.
(louder clapping)
Number four: blocking.
Now the first time I went on a set and someone was like:
"hey, we're gonna go through the blocking,"
I was like 'what the f is someone gonna punch me?'
But then I learned that blocking
is rehearsing the movements of the scene.
So like: you're gonna stand there,
then you're gonna walk here,
then you're gonna look there,
then you're gonna hit that mark-all that.
But here's the thing about blocking, right?
Sometimes you're expected to not move like a human being.
Uh, can I see the picture up?
We got a little bit of a glare. Tilt it down.
More. More, little bit more. No, no, too much.
Split the difference. Up, to the left. Little, little more.
Little more to the left, oh no right. Right, right.
Tilt down. Perfect! Perfect, right there.
Hit that exact same spot.
For sure.
Now I'm on set feeling like a bad boyfriend
because I can't hit the right spot
and the director's out here faking it to not me me feel bad.
(sucks teeth)
Okay, and action!
I mean, oh yes! That was the one, oh so good! Yes!
(quietly) Can we just fix it in post? Fix it in post.
(louder) Oh, right in the middle, that's the spot!
When you have to dress up like a male character
just so you can hear those words of satisfaction.
I swear to god zoomed-in Lilly I'm going to hit you.
Mhm, bet you won't hit it right.
Number five: creepy sound guys.
90% of the time I've been on a set,
there's been a male sound technician.
Which, by the way, why?
Here's the thing about sound techs, right?
Essentially, it's a complete stranger approaching you,
putting his hand up and down your shirt,
taping things to your boobs, sticking things in your bra
with minimal, to no words exchanged. Just like:
My name's Chuck, can I put this down your shirt?
(tedious music)
And 100% of the time, this mic pack is freezing.
Not once in my entire life has it not been.
Now, this might be a little cold.
(fabric tearing)
Yeah, we've got two, uh,
nipple rips in the front of her shirt.
Can we get wardrobe...and a hot chocolate?
I swear to god, sound people will always find a way
to mic you, no matter what.
I could be wearing a onsie, okay, no bra.
I could be nude! And they'll just be like:
'yeah, okay, we're just going to put the wire
through your belly button, you know out your left ear
and just staple the mic pack to your-.'
They'll find a way! Straight up, I was changing once
and then someone walked in and they were like:
'yo, nice thong!' And I was like:
'um, that's just the mic wire.'
Yeah, the sound was crap that video.
Well hello there!
