For students. Certainly felt like 8 minutes, it was around 6 pages I think.<BR/><BR/> My worst creep story is from when I was a trainee. We were on a fairly low budget feature, this is England so the department was the dolly grip and me as trainee. There are standbys and stage hands but nobody else is going to push the thing and on this day the dolly grip got really sick in the afternoon. No chance of getting another grip in at this notice so I stepped up for a shot. It was about a 2 foot creep in as the male lead sits at a piano in a recording studio and sings, finishing quite tight on his face and this big radio type mike. No biggie right? Two rehearsals and we're off into takes, only when we're halfway along this guy starts singing some lines none of us has heard before. Exchange a quick worried glance with the focus puller, slow down a chunk and carry on. Suddenly the guy is back on script, finishes the song and I've blown the end. After 5 or 6 takes, each with completely random length songs and different timing, the script supervisor comes in on behalf of the director for a quiet word with the actor about continuity for the scene. She asks him if he can do one to the script for the sake of the cut and his reply was "Oh no darlin', each one's special".<BR/><BR/> I think there were a couple of good ones in there and looking back from several years away it's quite funny but at the time it really wasn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-43080773790501179482009-01-29T07:17:00.000-08:002009-01-29T07:17:00.000-08:00that story rules. the best part is that he kept ru...that story rules. the best part is that he kept running right to his trailer...classic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-55337596557018755952009-01-28T20:59:00.000-08:002009-01-28T20:59:00.000-08:00That is a great story Azurgrip! and come on now.....That is a great story Azurgrip! and come on now... seriously? 8" in 8 minutes??? is that move even discernible? i think my brain might explode. however, now, i've got to go play on my time and see exactly how painful that is.<BR/>great job by the way, boys, your website has come a long way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
