20 Film Terms You Should Know Before Stepping On Set 

What did I learn from this video? *I'm Garry*

Thank god for telling me about "that's lunch" I was standing on set, alone, wondering what they meant... I was really hungry! so I just ate the plastic food on set while I was alone

Couple other one's that are useful: Picture's Up - we're about to roll Speed/ Speeding - rolling Print - we got the shot, moving on to next shot Sticks - go grab the tripod Quiet on Set - shut the hell up, don't even move 10/4 - copy that

Could've used some more info on "That's Lunch" other than that, good episode.

Hah this is perfect! I remember the days of not understanding anyyyyything 😂

Here a quick summery of everything that has been said in this video: 1. Call Sheet - a list where everyone is listed who has to come to set this day, when they wrap, the weather and all the informations needed for personal/set related that day 2. Sides - excerpts of the script you are shooting that day 3. Walkie Check - Checking if the walkie is working correctly 4. Good Check “Name” - responding to the Walkie Check, meaning that everything works 5. Go for “Name” - answering a call which was for me 6. “Your Name” for “Name of the person you want to reach” - making a call for a person you want to reach over the Walkie 7. Hot Brick - a full charged Walkie battery 8. Cold Brick - an empty Walkie battery 9. Copy/Copy that/Copy you - you FULLY understood what somebody told you/ explained/asked you 10. What’s your 20? - someone is asking where you are currently on set. 11. Anyone has a 20 on “name”? - someone asking if anyone has eyes on “name” 12. 10-1 - I am going to pee 13. 10-2 - I am going to take a “shit” 14. Going off Walkie - taking off my walkie/ turning it off 15. Surveillance - ear-peace for the walkie 16. 86 that/it - cancel that/ scratch that command 17. That’s lunch - you braking for lunch 18. Last man - is called when every cast and crew member is through the lunch line (last man 12:30pm - meaning you got to be back in at 1pm) 19. Back in - going back to work (ending lunch break) 20. Points / Hot Points - something you call out if you carry something heavy before going through doorways or around corners to let the person behind it know that somebody is coming through 21. Clear the frame - get out of the shot 22. On the day - Time when you actually shooting the shot 23. Abby Singer / Abby - second to last shot of the day 24. Martini - last shot of the day 25. Hot Set - the set is ready for shooting and must stay exactly as is

I love the idea of Josh hosting more of these entry-level type episodes!

Instead of 10-2 I’d say “dropping a hot brick”

5:57 I was so ready for the lighthouse scene but didn't happend 😭

“When I say ‘Hello Gary’ and press down on your foot, you smile and nod.”

In my country we use the term "one for lloyd's" which is stands for an extra take that is recorded after a good take, just for safety. and lloyd's being a film production insurance company.

A few months ago, I was really disappointed and discouraged as I couldn't able to do short films because of the reasons I thought matter. But then I have watched a video in which Ryan explained: "no excuses anymore, the only thing stopping you is your drive and passion to create". It has changed my perception of filmmaking. Thank you, Film Riot. Thank you, Ryan and Josh. Thanks a million for these videos which enable us to learn more film stuff.

A Josh episode!!! And Ryan, ironically just "Josh'n around".

This was a particularly well-timed episode as I'm about to start my first major short shoot. Thanks guys, always coming through with great content right when I need it.

Thanks for this inspirational video I love your channel Film Roit. You taught me how to edit and shoot, I created my own channel.

I don’t get the point of these terms. Like, why come up with a code when you could just say you’re gong to the bathroom or just ask for a new battery? Seems more like a way to mess with a new crew member.

No one: Absolutely No one: That one kid in class when the teacher says to be quite: 6:07

thank god i learn "thats lunch" last time i went to dinner and nearly got fired :(

Bogey, Bogey on deck, or Bogey on set!!! is walkie talkie in stunt department means unauthorized person is on a working set

This was great you should do a longer one with every single term

Josh being groomed to take over?...is Ryan's feature happening?....guys...

0:43 , 2:35 i would give away all of my money just to see a early homevideo of Ryan and Josh. And i mean it!

"This was hilarious!" - Gary

Only you can make a tutorial feel threatening! 😂

Love Josh’s shirt. Where’d you get it?

I often think I'm too far into my career for these videos to mean much to me, but every time I watch one, I'm reminded to watch more, purely for the entertainment!

Josh, you are a very informative and entertaining host. Thanks for the great episode

I watched this whilst taking a 10-2

Wait... so just to be clear I'm Gary. Right?

NO...I am Gary. Actually, this kind of freaked me out, when i looked down at my phone Josh was saying my name. That scared me.

Thanks for the on set terminology. It's a wrap! Did you see what I did there? Pretty clever, huh? Ok...more goofy than clever. Fine.

Super newbie here and this was very helpful. Love how terms from other industries (like truckers) are used. Thanks!

I let the video play while I was pouring myself a beer, and I didn't even notice it wasn't Ryan until I looked up at the screen o.O Was it just the beer or does Josh sound exactly like Ryan? Great video tho! I remember first time being a PA and asking the other PAs what all these mean.

I think Ron Swanson would approve of your courtesy breakfast at 11:30PM.

Hi, I'm Gary.

Dang it... I wish my name was Gary

I feel many of these that are listed depend on dialect and ways of speaking. These terms sound more like the military than a film set. Also, I'm surprised you guys didn't go over the major ones, like speed, striking, killing (sometimes phrased, "kill the baby" if working with a baby light), pickup, and more.

hmm tbh i don't really get the advantage of using cryptic codes for something that could be named normal within the same time :D

I want more Josh.

Josh is gowing up to become Ryan lookalike!

I am Gary ....Cool!

10-2?! Really?! I’d get shot if I said that on walkie! 🤣

6 years on set missing lunches, you're a God sent

I Just Dropped my first short film

My first time on set I was mostly confused by all the weird names for equipment, especially lighting equipment!

josh needs to do more episodes

SOO HELPFUL!

Excellent Video... Love these guys!!! And... "Thank YOU" so much for NOOOOO background noise (music). Thank you for sharing this GREAT Video. Josh you Rock!!! and Justin too.

Great job Josh. Not gonna lie as a younger brother as well, I was triggered at 2:45. How about a warning next time!

Yes the ever so professional Justin Robinson 6:07

How the craft tables have turned, having Josh front and center...

Hahaha i'm 10-1 of laughing!!! Ohhh nooo 10-2 10-2!!!!!

In Dutch a “brick” or “hot brick” is slang for a 10-2! I’m going to drop a brick in the honeywagon, baby!

Do you know what "save it" means (looking at the monitor) and also crew kept saying the word Low Key a lot and it didn't have to do with lighting. Thx.

I'm Garry.

Ryan with the roasts Then he apologizes.

I've been following you guys since 2010 & though I appreciate how far you all have come, I also appreciate these "getting back to basics" episodes. I really enjoyed this episode, & I think you should do more of them. 👌👏

all the jokes in the video was a distraction

Be the Gary you want to see in the world.

More Josh on camera!

Great episode Josh

alright? my dream and be a film director. but I live in Brazil here I have no opportunity. have like you please give me a hint? I have already produced a short film. but very bad.

Josh you are so awesome!!

FAM,, , you guys are hilarious!! ! 😂 Would totally watch a sitcom starring Josh & Ryan!! ! 🙌🏾👑🙏🏾🌞💚🎉🌟👽

20 Film Terms You Should Know Before Stepping On Set 1. Call Sheet -- The Bible of all Filmmakers. This is the universal sheet which holds the info to: a. Locations b. Call times c. Personal call times d. Lunch e. Weather f. Parking g. Scenes 2. Sides -- The portion of the script your working that day 3. Walkie Check -- Make sure your Walkie's working and on the correct channel while saying a. You say, "Walkie Check." b. A team member will reply, saying, "Good check, " 4. Go for -- When someone wants to tell you something, they'll say into their walkie: a. "Go for " b. You'll reply, "go for " 5. Hot Brick (which means charged battery) -- When your walkie has low battery, you say: a. "I need a hot brick" b. A PA will then bring you a hot brick in exchange for your cold brick (dead battery) 6. Copy You -- this means "I understand what you're saying". Don't say this to something you don't understand. If you don't understand, ask fricken' questions 7. What's your 20/Does anyone have a 20 on --- This means what's your position/does anyone have eyes on 8. I'm 10-1 --imma peein' 9. I'm 10-2 -- Imma poopin' 10. Going off walkie -- done for the day 11. 86 that. -- cancel that. 12. That's lunch -- your breakin' for dat lunch 13. Last man -- last cast/crew to go thru the lunch line 14. Back in -- hoppin back to work 15. Points / Hot points -- crew will yell that out when they are carrying gear with edges or corners 16. Clear the frame -- get outta the way of the camera 17. On the day -- when we actually shoot the shot (e.g., let's make sure sue has a lollipop on the day) 18. Abby Singer / Abby -- second to last shot scheduled for the day 19. Martini -- the last shot of the day 20. Hot set -- everything is set up so don't touch ANYTHING! From Remember, its always better to take your own notes so you can remember more. God bless.

you guys forgot a lot of big ones. "Flashing" or "Striking" or "back to 1" this should be labeled "For those productions who has walkies, here's what to listen for" Maybe I should make my own Video, If new to set "grab me a bag of T-Stops"

Lmao "you're not everyone, so stop being egotistical" proceeds to explain what it means when someone says that's lunch lmao. thank God for this video.

It's been 7 Goddamn Months Josh!! Still waiting for Legos under my feet!!! Bwahahahahaha!! I escaped your social media ploy with Ease!! Now....I've pollops for you to massage!

Expected to see in this comment section David F. Sandberg's comment saying he didn't know most of these and still made movies 😅

Very good episode

Im sorry, but a someone who made Call Sheets for years, I KNOW that pretty much no one reads them. How I know that? Because people call or write you questions that are answered by the Call Sheet ALL the fucking TIME! Everyone just takes a look when he has to start and finish, thats it :D And you know that! Also Abbys and Martinis are never Abbys and Martinis, because there is always another take! You know...directors :D

I literally just watched that c-stand video yesterday and replayed the hidden ending like 4 times. Happy to see it back again 😂

Could you make a video talking about Room 8 short film box effect? Thanks, I think its so amazing.

Where did u get that shirt from. I want one or two

Geeeeez, stop trying to be funny. It's not working. I almost turned off the video 36 seconds in.

Good video guys! Keep up the good work!

In Vancouver, Canada , we mostly use the term "Window" instead of "Martini"

2 things you didn't cover. When calling another person on walking say your name for person you want to talk to "Kyle for Gary". I've heard far too many confusing radio calls "Kyle, can I get a c-stand over here?" "Sure, who's asking, and what's your 20?" Also, if you need to talk to someone about a long winded topic, or a topic that doesn't need to be on the main channel say "Go to 2(or whatever unused channel there is on your set)".

This one is great! Love you guys)

In Canada we call the last shot “Window” or “Window Shot”. Not “martini”. Wish you more emphasized on “lock it up”. As many new people mess that one up...

But who’s Annabel? Heard the first AD calling for her all day, but never saw her. 🤷‍♂️

I'd have included "Striking" if nothing else. Going blind all of a sudden kinda sucks.

≈4.30 - Craft Services (also seen "Crafty"). A most valued aspect of any production...

Extremely much fecal language. Emotionally involved with low reflectivity. No kids it's not cool to articulate as proletely as the man in the video. Since a positive approach is advisable in all situations, you should also be able to learn from bad examples.

02:05 *"And just so we're really clear, you're Gary."* Well, just so we're really clear, I am NOT Gary! :)

I'd like to know where "86 that" comes from... Why 86?

you guys should start a channel like corridor crew. day in the life of/weekly vlogs. you all are def funnier than them. anywhos love the channel been watching since 2009.

Forky watches this video: Oh, so I’m Gar-r-ry? I get it... wait... but who is “I’m Garry?”

Please stop trying so hard to be funny, it's distracting. You go into these pointless tangents that cause me to lose focus and then I miss the actual information. I doubt you'll actually stop because there must be some reason you've convinced yourself to keep doing it, but I thought I would ask anyway.

I AM Gary in that situation... FIlm Riot is customized for me!

yo an episode on lingo that doesn't necessarily need explaining but is common practice would be great, stuff like "quiet on set" "rolling" "speeding" or "everyone to first positions" and stuff like that also stuff like what the slate number means etc

We also use 10-3 and you guessed whoever says 10-3 that mean it's not a good day for the toilet so we leave them alone for a while

I truly love Josh. He's fucking ridiculous. The world needs more Josh in it.

This video is also useful for police aswell

The director would say, during a "hot set", where a house is about to blow up through special effects, something like this - "OK, the pyrotechnics are armed for the house blow-up in the movie scene. This is now a hot set, so except for the stuntman who is going to run towards the house and it blows up in front of him, as for the rest of you, do not encroach the set. The pyro effects there are very dangerous, and we need to do this explosive shot on one try, get it?"

But 86 is 1 syllable longer than "cancel" why can't we just say "Cancel" instead?

Why does everybody need to know whether you're going to take a shit or pee? Shitting really doesn't take that much longer. Do they also want to know about women's periods?

yeah i’ll probably never use half of this when i actually get around to filming any screenplays i actually get around to finishing.

It would have been more digestible if there were no unnecessary jokes in the middle of it, now I have to watch again because my flow was interrupted by these jokes!

We need more Josh episodes in our lives!
