    I'm sick today. I'm really feeling awful. This was so soothing to watch. Thank you so much. Sometimes I dream about working on a set. It seems fun but also very stressful. I wanna be the guy that gives people cool water, soda, and juice. Waterboy! lol

      You could work in "crafty" craft services! Literally, this person (or small crew) keeps fresh fruit, savory snacks, energy foods, drinks on set at all times the physical production crew is shooting. Not typically in scene shops, or pre-rig days, but always there, keeping the crew going on shooting days. Sometimes, an extension of catering, but most often its own stand-alone service. One of my favorite crew members to cozy up to!

    This video is amazing, learned a lot a few things i didnt know or remember. I worked on a Show Season 5 and 6 at CNE in Toronto for IATSE as a rookie permit Carpenter. The members are so amazing and how fast and well these go up and the Pride. Working with Covid protocols isnt easy but required. Hats off to the Grips/Paint/Construction Dept's and the Carpenters that are cool enough to show you the tricks.

    I'm currently using this technique for a job now and I'm running into problems! The Masonite is dipping in between joist supports in the back. Please let me know what you did to prevent this as I've already doesn't the budget on these materials and can't purchase more to fix it!

    • @MrVbobby
      @MrVbobby 4 роки тому +5

      they do not use Masonite they use 1/8 inch luan plywood Masonite is a terrible product to work with for this purpose. Also in the old days we woluld put blank-stock wall paper over all the wood to hide the grain but now you can buy the plywood with the paper all ready on it made for sets which they did not use in the video also putting Spackle on with your fingers is dumb and would get you fired on a real production. With do respect to Anthony using Bondo is usually a terrible idea it is expensive and almost impossible to sand after it dries. I painted sets for 11 years as a member of local 729 set painters union

    @amdenis 6 років тому +5

    We need to install a cyc set (45' total length, 11.5' tall with one 90 degree bend in the middle with about 1->2 inch elevated flooring).
    We currently use 12-foot wide seamless and muslin for our grays and green-screen respectively, but we need more than what they provide in terms of size and utility.
    Is there any material that does not require painting after every shoot or couple of shoots?
    If not, someone needs to find or create it, as the currently available alternatives are a productivity and health nightmare.
    Our issue is that all the materials we have come across all require frequent, ongoing repainting. The problem with that is that paint off-gassing during painting and for a few days after drying is toxic to various degrees (even the ones that we were told weren't turned out to be toxic upon deeper research). So, while it may not be problematic to have occasional exposure to low VOC or related paints, such as once every several years when you have to repaint your home (and hopefully can be out of the house until it dries, with any luck), research is showing that frequent exposure correlates highly with brain, blood and liver cancer and is generally not healthy, even in the short term, as it elevates liver enzymes and causes inflammatory response.
    Any recommendations or ideas?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    • @markusmilesdigweed
      @markusmilesdigweed 7 місяців тому +2

      Usually straight to the bin. Stock sizes (4*X) are sometimes kept if they're "clean". If the show is returning the set we will strike it carefully and store it, or it lives in a lonely studio till break or haitus is over and filming resumes. Occasionally sets are also sold which I can't stand working on.

      It holds better when it's across the grain and less likely to go all the way through or separate...I know what you're saying though, it set the staple better with no wood splintering upward.
