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

So if you know that it might be a low budget production where you can't afford wigs or certain pieces that would suit a period, if you're working in the 70s, for example, and you need big sideburns, moustaches, different hair and makeup,

looks of people and you didn't have the wigs or the hair pieces to facilitate that you've got to find the real people that will be willing to either have their hair cut into that or that look that part so you would be referencing you would be going online looking at 1970s Ireland London and looking at all these different variety of people and the real people that existed and

Yeah, I think that's the magic of Crowd.

You worked tirelessly.

You're probably the first person in in the morning to get 300 people through the works, which is hair and makeup and costume.

And you're the last one to leave sometimes with locations and shutting the lights off.

But actually, all of that work should be invisible.

They would have the whole street locked off and it would be your job to fill it.

But you have a team.

So you have your crowd third or your floor second who would be the people responsible and in charge of the movement of the extras on set.

Yeah.

Every single move is choreographed, orchestrated, timely managed in a seamless action.

So you would have Tom Holland walking down the street in New York.

You might have 300 extras that you need to then divide into subgroups of maybe 20 to 50 per group.

You would then have a PA or another third AD on set that are managing that group and giving them different instructions to go.

So you might be saying, you two people walk that way, you two people, when we say action, wait five seconds.

And then you go, you might have people walking into cafes, you might have people getting a taxi, getting into an action vehicle, etc.

it's so seamlessly choreographed and every second matters the way that the extra goes.

If they get it wrong, the whole scene can look out of place.

Yeah.
