People truly don't get just how labor-intensive of a field filmmaking is, whether it's writing/pre-production or on-set actors and crew or post-production
#listen man i know ive barely scratched the surface of even sports broadcasting#but my schedule is Not Unlike the kind of schedules film crews face with MUCH more labor intensive jobs#except where my schedule is unpredictable and subject to change on short notice and my shifts#Do Not Come with proper breaks#at least i *usually* only work a max of 12 hours#film crews easily see 14-16 hour days and the studios refuse to accept#paying more fines to the unions for not supplying the minimum amount of hours needed between shifts (this was something they rejected in#the wga negotiations)#and they HAVE to have those fines put on them because there is like. a real legitimate problem of lack of sleep leading to#injuries (and sometimes fatal ones) both on and off film sets. do you know its not unusual for people on sets to be reminded not to drive#if they feel like theyre going to pass out. a couple of years ago when iatse was in negotiations people were sharing INSANE stories#along those lines#and those days arent worth it!! at all!! we HAVE to take more time to make movies. we have to stand behind the unions. come on man#anyway brought to you by i wasnt gonna reblog that giant post where someone sent a stupid ask to neil gaiman but i am mad about it#and i know that post was specifically aboht writing but MAN people really forget the number of crew who work on movies#and how exhausting those jobs are and how much technical skill and varied understanding of skills that arent even your own#that you have to have to work in entertainment !#anyway
