[AngliaGT]

Hey,I'm one of those people who actually reads the credits.
I hate it when they minimize them to advertise another movie/-
show.I have to see who the "best boy" is!
Like they say in the Muppet Movie - "these people have -
families".

...but the Best Boy's personal assistant's hairdresser might be taking it a bit too far. Just imagine if there had to be recognition for all the people who built your car, or brought you that steak (all the way back to the cowboy who rounded it up) or...

What does the "best boy" do? Is the best boy ever a girl? Should it be "best person"? I'm suprised no one "rose up" on that yet. I guess they don't read the credits. :laugh:

What does the "best boy" do?

There are two on each production, one in the Grip department and one in Electrical. They handle ordering equipment and supplies that those departments need from day to day. The Best Boy Grip is responsible for getting the dollies and cranes that the camera attaches to. Or large cranes to rig things off buildings and such. On a feature film or more demanding television series, they have a 48' trailer full of gear that needs to stay stocked, organized and maintained.

Is the best boy ever a girl?

Yes

Should it be "best person"?

I've never seen that, but someday you might. When I started, it was always "Leadman" now you see "Leadperson" a lot more, even if the Lead is male. I'm not referring to an actor here, but a position in the Set Decorating department.

 

[AngliaGT]

I liked the credits on the movie "Airplane".

[GregW]

Hi Doug,
Wilkinson. I haven't seen G-Force yet, but my credit should be assistant propmaster.

 

[AngliaGT]

Greg,

Thanks - I'll have Basil give you a Gold Star!

I've been in the way of more MoPic "productions" than I care to note. What goes onna screen is largely just accepted as something to be viewed and taken fer granted... like pix on a magazine page or images on th' 'net.

...it ain't that simple, kids.


There were some intrepid folks involved in givin' "the masses" about ANY of the images most peeps kinda take fer granted.

Remember: Somebody had to be there ahead of the image to make it possible for it to be seen by YOU!

That's one of the things that makes me pull my hair out. People thinking reality shows like Scare Tactic are really scaring victims.
