What the Industry looks like in motion by WM

The entertainment industry is a very strange place because many people will tell you being on a set is extremely boring and you’ll end up standing around for most of the time. This is true but at the same time these people are working very fast and hard, and at the end of the day an enormous amount of material is produced. When you look at everything produced you realize they are starting from scratch and creating an entire world for the camera. The background, foreground, props, walls, costumes, makeup, and characters have all been finely tuned to represent a greater whole. This is a big achievement. So when someone tells you that all everyone does is stand around on set, its better to think of it as a stop and then sprint kind of job. You may be standing for a short period waiting for another crew to make their contribution, but then it’s your turn and you’re sprinting again.
