Crazy Set Lingo

Today is saturday and I don't feel much like heading out to the office to find a piece of equipment to write about for LizardlandVideo.com.  Instead we will look at a few of the strange words used on the set and even in the Phoenix Video Production community. If you are not in the film industry I am sure you have not heard of any of these.  Martini shot (by the time you get to this you will wish it had to do with alcohol), Gary Coleman (has nothing to do with being arrested), Taco Cart (has nothing to do with food), Warner Brothers (not the studio), Kill the Baby (don't worry you won't have to call Nancy Grace), Baby Baby (not the Starlet),  Junior Baby (maybe some talent),  Baby (definitely the writer at times),  Michael Jackson (this term could have new meaning now), Mickey Rooney (does not mean song and dance), Flying the Moon (I am sure that at some time during a shoot many crew members would like to fly to the moon),  Greek it (no college kids), Branch-A-Loris (not to be confused with a Cucoloris),  Dingo (not just in the outback),  Charlie Bar (not Willie Wonka),  Becky (ah sweet Becky),  Belly Lines (could apply to some grips I have worked with) Abby Singer (sometimes I wish there was a monk on set),  Beaver Side (we don't shoot porn), and my favorite Bastard Side. So now you know the key words so you to can be super cool on the set when working for Lizardland Film Video HD. Just a couple of pictures of gaffers. Don't they look important?
