Out of Frame · Crowd 2nd Assistant Director: How to (not) stand out in a crowd · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

Hello.

I think I would say recently I watched I Swear, which...

If you haven't seen it, it's obviously about Tourette syndrome.

And I think it's really raw, inspiring and actually brings the real world to parent, to the audience and to everyday people.

And I think it's really important that we are showcasing them things.

Yeah.

And I think it's really nice that they've done it as a film instead of a TV series where it's quite hard to get everything together within the space of 90 minutes, two hours.

But yeah, it really does do that and showcases that.

But I only watched it like three weeks ago.

A crowd second AD is essentially the person that manages and shapes the background of the film or the show that you're watching.

So it's everything behind the main actors and all the main action that is happening.

My job is mainly in prep and that's where it starts, where you're breaking down all of the characters in the script, talking to the directors, the costume and hair and makeup on the type of person that you need in the scene, the look of them.

And then once you move over to set, you really hand it over to the crowd third or your floor second who are the ones responsible of the movement of people, positioning them and seeing where they go within the scene to fit within it.

I actually was an extra when I was about 12 years old.

No way, what were you in?

Waterloo Road.

Come on.

You can definitely find it, BBC.

Oh yeah.
