Production roles and their stereotypes

Hi Everyone, Joe Killeen here. Here is a video from youtube. It is part of a series of videos (the link is below) offering comedic commenting on Director/DP/Producer/SFX work relationships, challenging the criteria one must meet in order to be considered successful in their given production role. Very funny, and (I warn in advance) plenty of swearing, but it is something to keep in mind when we ourselves fill these various roles.

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls

I watched a documentary the other day titled Easy Riders, Ragings Bulls. It was really good and went into how the film industry in the 60's saved Hollywood. It looked into how Francis Ford Coppola got his start, other filmmakers in the 60's who were making B rate movies, and how the drugs and rock era saved the art of filmmaking. At one point in the movie one of the directors was talking about how they went to a ceremony where Alfred Hitchcock was being honored. In the bathroom there were 2 stalls and in each stall there were 8 pairs of legs. The people in the stalls were sniffing cocaine so load that it sounded like pigs feeding at a trough. So, if your into cocaine or movies check this doc out its worth a watch.
