What the Director said to the AD...

I'm 2nd AD on a TV show currently in production and I heard something over the walkies on set that made me laugh out loud (good thing we weren't shooting)!

So I just had to share...

David (Director)
Charlie (AD)

David: "Uh, Charlie, this is David.  Where am I?"

LOL, the existential director ;D, sounds like a fun group of people to work with...
 
Re: What the Director said to the AD...

Kind of like the trumpet player and conductor conversation:

Trumpet player missed his first few notes
Conductor: Mr. First Trumpet, do you know where we are? (in the music...)
Trumpet player: No sir, I'm as lost as you!

Sorry -- no... now that I think of it, it's not anything like that. Ugh... even have to explain the joke.

Bad post.

One I heard on set between Director & DP (wont use the real names)


Director: Morning Gus.
DP: Morning . . . ready to shoot crap . . .
Director: What?
DP: I was figuring shooting beautiful stuff isnt getting us noticed . . . the real deal is to shoot crap, right
Director: Err . . . ok . . .
DP: great . . . guys this morning were gonna all shoot some crap!

OK, not on a film set, but college theatre:


Master Electrician: (something) was up all night.
Stage Manager: All nighter?
M.E.: Yeah, Comparative Lit paper.
Stage Manager: Sucks. I've never had an all-nighter, but I've had a lot of blow offers.

(At which point the entire theatre, most of whom were on headset or could hear in the greenroom and backstage, fell dead silent and then busted a gut.)

I think what made it so funny to me was that it totally exemplified the show itself.  ;D

BTW, the show sucks.  I now have a new understanding for reality television; I understand that I should avoid it at all costs whatsoever  ;D
