There is another use of the word "striking" borrowed from the theater and not film - in this case, it means you dismantle the set you were filming because all of the filming is done. That means all of the film crew and their gear has to go because the film shoot is over--cameras, dollies, foley gear, props, all that - need to be dismantled.
Another variation of "hot set" can be also used to mention that this set involves dangerous stuff that can explode, spark or be on fire, like gasoline or a Greek cook preparing an "Opa" fire" or a simulated bomb. A variant of "hot set" is "hot range". Especially in Western film shoots, often "hot range" is used in such film shoots more often because keenly in Western films, you have an awful lot of actors using simulated firearms, and/or some cases, simulated dynamite as well.
A few years ago Amazon studios came up here to shoot a short film to promote far cry 5 I got a call to be a grip on that set so I cannot BS my way on the set by saying I had worked on sets like that before. I spent the next five hours watching videos like this on grip equipment. So I didn’t look stupid on set. it turned out fine.

@@RyanCampFilms I enjoy your videos very much they are quite informative. I'm now retired from the entertainment industry after many years. It's not the same industry when I started almost 50 years ago. Next year I'm moving to southern Utah to promote filming there. The creative industry gets into your blood. I got sick about six years ago, and had to take an early retirement. Lived in Las Vegas for the last 5 years, and I looking to live in a small town. Hollywood has changed so much and I had to move out, to crazy. But I miss working at Warmer Brothers, Paramount Pictures, and a lot of smaller production companies.

Documents: sag talent contracts, equipment rental contracts, picture car rental contracts, prop rental contracts, location permits, fire permit, production bond insurance; location insurance, equipment insurance, picture car insurance, and film completion insurance, weather report schedule, payroll, and petty cash.

We make our own rules & terms. We also DON’T abbreviate any word. We set out OWN guidelines and create our own standards… We don’t copy any of current directors. Be yourself, set your own standards!!!
@Cecilly Anne It’s not totally necessary. It just gives people on set an idea of how long it will take. On my smaller sets obviously I don’t require that
What are some film set terms or slang that you'd like to share that were not covered in this video? Please let us know!

It usually does, we just have to take that first step into the unknown.

"Day of" is referring to when they actually shoot something. You might hear someone say "okay, that's how it's got to look on day of."
Excellent! Thanks for the insight!
Since this is 101, actually showing all the gear when giving their names would be great.
Sorry to disappoint!

OK
10/1 is going number one and 10/2 Is going number 2. 10/3 is debatable. Some use it for vomiting some use it for... well something more private. 😖
