You know you wanna kill your gaffer when...

He ruins an awesome take of something like this:

Actor is supposed to trip on that basket and the only way we could make it look real is for him to just hall off and step on the thing...and see what happens. Our Gaffer thinks he got hurt and walks in front of the shot....GAH!

btw, this will be cropped to 2:35....so dont mind the pipe in the shot I also goofed focus but I was able to cut around it.

Anyone else have an on set story to tell? An extra sneezes in the back during a great line? Snot hanging out during great performance? Tell!

ha ha. i'm sure he feels like a huge idiot now, but it makes for a great blooper!

 

[Loren Simons]

hahahah omg that sucks, im sure he feels really stupid.

Oh, that was fantastic! Sucks though.

One time I had this scene to shoot and we only had one chance because we technically didn't have permission to use the property we were on and the neighbors heard our dune buggy. I drive down the hill and back to the house, open the camera and see that the camera guy had done a horribly shaky pan job. Aaaarrrgggghhhh!

Haha, yeah. But he wasn't the first to screw up that take. The first AC (you?) must be relieved the burden is now on the gaffer. :beer:


Either way funny stuff!!!!
