Sorry Bobby, crossing okay okay let's go back to one I love to get this martini shot
in the can this decade okay Matty please fly me in a stinger and some dif
for this light right here c-47s in that cabinet over there Dave Hollywood a
cutter right over here actually let's do a cookie I want this to be really
dramatic attaboy hey man come on now oh God striking
next time please yes thank you we good all right let's lock it up people
roll cameras action
Hey this is Jake with B&H if you were confused by half of things
I just said and that's how you know you've never been on a film set the movie
business has a long history of giving unique nicknames and phrases to everyday
tasks we're to go over some of the more common ones that you may come across on
your first film set so when the time comes you're not completely lost
let's start with my blatant interruption of the scene where I yelled out 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 I could have just done it but where would my manners be
once I completely blew the take by walking into it I had to let everyone know we needed
to start over by simply saying back to one I'm 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
clearly there were no drinks in this scene so what is the martini referring to well when the
day comes to an end everyone is looking to grab a drink after a long stressful
day on set the martini shot refers to that final shot of the day before
quitting time wait a minute this is water I don't want this
in the can harkens back to the days of film cans or canisters to say something
is in the can means that the shot has been successfully captured and it's time
to move on just as it suggests flying something in means to bring it on set
and into the scene speaking of which can someone fly my latte in please thanks buddy
this is a stinger I don't know why it's called the stinger but this is what
it is it's similar to an extension cord but it's designed to be much more
heavy-duty and handle the high amps from big lights on set stinger
dif is short for diffusion clip this in front of a light to soften it up
but to clip that dif on you're going to need some clothes.. I mean c-47s or
bullets as they're called sometimes these handy and familiar clips are used
by the truckload on film sets to help secure things
when you're hollywooding something you're essentially just holding it up by hand whatever it may be
instead of mounting it securely on a stand sometimes this is preferable when
movement is required or you're under the gun to get something done quickly a
cutter or a flag is 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 which is short for cucoloris is 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 it's a great way to spice up a dull scene going back to
politeness striking is just a way of letting everyone around you know that
you're powering up a bright light fixture and to look away from the source
nobody likes to get blasted in the face with a harsh light without proper
warning first oh my last but not least when someone on
set yells lock it up usually 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
trust me there are many more nicknames phrases and lingo that are used on film
sets but it would take hours to go through them all let us know some of
your favorite ones in the comments below who knows maybe we'll come back to a
follow-up the whole new list
cut cut cut I'm sorry Bobby Crossing okay folks
let's go back to one wanna get this martini shot in the can this decade Matty please get
