Education elevates. Struggle to be good at it. Many will play at it, join them not. Suffering awaits the indolent, wailing for the truants. Play not with the dawn, be diligent. Time waits for no one.

Uh, Pete. Oh, hi. Hi. Feeling friends know that we teased why, to your words, I look so tired. No, I am not a fruiting body. I have not been taken over by some gross, horrific funk guy. No, instead, yesterday I was on set all day. A good friend of mine named David is directing a

Uh, Pete. Oh, hi. Hi. Feeling friends know that we teased why, to your words, I look so tired. No, I am not a fruiting body. I have not been taken over by some gross, horrific funk guy. No, instead, yesterday I was on set all day. A good friend of mine named David is directing a

feature film a horror film out of his place and he asked me to be script supervisor on days that i'm on set oh this is very exciting do you know what a script supervisor does well i absolutely do and because of i don't want to outshine your segment i think you should tell everybody what a script supervisor does Well, it's interesting because script supervisor is something I've never done.

And I made it very clear to him, I don't know how to do this. So we had to talk about what kind of things do you need to know? And then I wrote this down. So I made this sheet called a script supervisor report because all the templates that were on the computer land were filled with too much information he didn't need. Basically, a script supervisor more or less is in charge of continuity.

So when actors do takes over and over and over again, you have to make sure that they do the same things as far as physically acting. and interacting with props around them, or else continuity will be broken, and when you cut from one shot to another, cups will be flying all over the place.

This actually happened to me once for the feature that I directed, 30 Nights, where we didn't have a... Oh, no, we did have a script supervisor. Unfortunately, they didn't notice that in half of the takes...

uh actor johnny gd giacoloni uh picked up a whiskey bottle and put it on the table to his right and then in half the takes he put it on the table to his left and unfortunately the whiskey bottle was in all the coverage that means i had the amount of shots that i could use was cut in half yeah because you can't have the whiskey bottle jumping around it wasn't that type of a story so

I don't know what type of a story that would be, but it sounds awesome, I guess. So yeah, so my job was to run... Someone else was running the slate. That's the thing where you go 23, Baker, take one. The first AC was running that, but I have to take notes about every single take about what they do with their hands, what they do with the fork, and I have to remind them every time.

We just did... It was the first day yesterday on set, and it was... Fairly easy for everyone except for three people, I would say. The actors, because they have to memorize their lines. It was very long dialogue scenes. And respectfully, me, because they were sitting at a table and eating. And that is a million props. There's so many different things.

So you have to write down a little note every time that they take a bite. What he does. That's why I mentioned the fork is he picked up the fork, took a bite. Then when the argument starts, he put the fork in his left hand and re put it down on the napkin and has to be that way over and over again. And so it's a way of diligently, painstakingly taking all of these.
