Goalie, wow I feel humbled by the comments made about me. Thank you all. If I had of known, I would not have come across so distant. All I have to say is to all of you that watch TV or films, this is how it’s done. The bigger the the production the greater the stress on all the individuals working as crew. Some deal with it better than some. I consider myself the babysitter and try not to get drawn in anyone’s tantrums. If you me peeps in future give me a holla by saying Goatie and I’ll try and give you a big cheesey smile 👍😁
@@puffinfilm to be honest could be him, might just not want his full name (most Google accounts have real names and not everyone knows how to change it)
He was giving AB a crash course in film production so AB can take auditing to the next level. AB gonna be outside the police stations with the green screen, rented equipment, props and runners doing multiple takes to get the best footage.
I know right! - He should be in film him self, very interesting character. I’m picturing a period piece, a wise ole story teller of oral history for the village and kids.
American subscriber. AB is the best auditor on either side of the Atlantic. His righteousness, humor and sweetness makes me watch every video of his in full. I’ve been watching since day one! Awesome.
Goatie went from a C- to an A+ very quickly. Just doing his job, I get that, but given the chance he was a brilliant chap with a wealth of knowledge and a good soul. This vid made my day. Thanks AB
I like the way you worked a spontaneous chuckle out of the guy from Anne Summers. As for the film set; every time we've seen them encounter auditors they have behaved with a degree of arrogance, always over-inflating their authority.
They try to control sidewalks in NYC all the time. The problem is that I know the city makes them pay big money, so I never know what they’re allowed to do. I do know that you can record from across the street - which I pretend to do just to make the production assistants act like fools trying to get me to stop.
@@interestedparty00 Yes, I watch Ely from NY- I've seen similar reactions there from film-crews; must be something to do with the thespian divide from reality!
The 'actor' in the white trainers isn't allowed to say what they are filming. Why. Ffs it's just a commercial. Why is it such a secret? The big guy in the high vis was a decent bloke in the end.
You never cease to entertain AB, and in the process, you ever so eloquently not only educate, teach grumpy bums to be polite and courteous. The world needs a lot more of you in this day and age. May your God bless you. Cheers from Oz.
@@dgnash With all due respect mate. You, I and others may not have one but AB may, therefore not wanting to offend anyone, thats why I include "your God" in the blessings he so much deserves.
@@dgnash My god is Taranis, the god of thunder. I have called upon him to share his presence with _you_. It may be some time before you are outside in a storm, depending on where you live and how you travel; but I have faith that Taranis will make his presence known to you sooner or later. Please reply, if something significant does happen ⛈⚡🌩🌩⚡⚡⛈🌪🌦⛈
The director like most people in film and TV is under the incorrect impression that the more expensive your camera, the higher priority your rights to film. Not so. Everyone has equal rights to film. Don't like it? Hire a studio. Want to film in public? Well you takes your risk of someone camping in the shot.
@@firstname9954 You claimed it's freedom of the press, filming in public is nothing to do with freedom of the press. We do not operate under Napoleonic law so everything is legal unless it is prohibited, as opposed to an activity needing to be expressly permitted or protected. The reason you can film in public is simple: because it's not illegal. Nothing to do with the press.
Fair Play to Goaty and the Anne Summers Guy, after the initially cold "meet and greet" they turned out to be top notch fellas. Well done lads 👍 Am sure Bailey will get to be a cool dude soon too, AB is changing people for the better.
Goatie was delightful. The encounter began awkwardly but once he got a feel for you it was a veritable education. The man gave a masterclass in film production and the economics behind it all. I was hoping that AB would set out the reason for his work so he might gain a better understanding what this project is all about, but Goatie decided to thaw the ice himself and gave us the inside dope. Goatie, you've won the Internet my friend. And all of you other security hands, watch and learn how the job is done.
I smoke and I would never get as rudely close to someone as red coat dummy did while blowing smoke, I try and be on the side of the person the wind will carry smoke away from them.
I'm the same mate, hardly anyone smokes now and I would be genuinely embarrassed if my smoke was getting down anyone, it's beyond rude! What an entitled little brat he was.
I’m a software engineer and work with a lot of very bright people - mathematicians, actuaries, lawyers etc and that black chap is brighter than the majority of them. He seems the sort of chap that in different circumstances and with different opportunities he’s the kind of guy that could be doing anything in life that he wanted, perhaps even running the country. Good luck to him
@J D to be fair tho that would increase cost. If I was the project manager I would rather have the harry potter kid being bratty then paying more in editing.
All the people walking through staring in the window at the cameras or lightly jogging through looking unnatural as all hell where infinitely worse than someone with a phone videoing hahahhaahahhh
Nice to see (SADLY)people in the United Kingdom are as clueless and careless with people's rights as they are in the United States! Plenty of Ken's and Karen's quoting laws and regulations that is based on their wants and feelings! Definitely not law or human rights!
Reminds me of a time i was sat in my car at my local beach and some film person came along and told me that I was in shot and needed to move. Sufficed to say I did nothing. 30 mins later someone else came along and explained that Mk3 Ford Escorts didn't exist in the 17th Century and that they'd really appreciate it if I moved, which I did. Simple really.
They have to apply for a permit to the council 28 days in advance to close a highway, it costs £450 a day. And they are not just granted willy nilly. So what they do instead is try to bully the public out of public spaces by using intimidation and veiled threats, they use unlicensed thugs to intimidate people . They deserve to have their entitled attitudes challenged and to be pushed back against when they break the rules and protocols to avoid paying the correct fees. They also need a lesson in life skills, for that young lad, is going to get hurt badly very soon if he doesnt wind himself in.
I always hit the thumbs up before watching because before I watch it I know it's going to be a good content sometimes hilarious and most of all it's someone acting within their rights of English law not maritime law the law of deception😁👍😜🤪
@19:04 That little pidgeon scene was epic. They're just having a wash, relying on humans not to be cruel to them, and then you have a guy raking through the bins? Then you have an act of cruelty commited by a woman, scaring the pidgeons away and making them expend energy which they didn't need to, followed up by an act of kindness commited by a man, giving some money to someone that needs it? Life is one big struggle for the majority of creatures on this planet.
If you want to make a video or commercial in public, you have to accept that the public might take an interest. You have to be courteous and ask for their cooperation. Acting all superior and coming off a wally just makes for a longer day for the entire filming crew. 👍AB We need to clone AB, it’s going to take forever too change people’s freedom perspective.
It's as though they think a crappy low budget advert for specsavers that viewers will instantly forget after watching it, is like the latest Ridley Scott film.
I’ve worked on movie and TV sets and honestly the people think they are saving lives. What they are doing is the most important thing in the world it seems.
Honestly sia badge shouldn't be given to people who struggle with english. Speaking English and basic communication is necessary to deescalate situations
The guy at the end? He seemed to be doing fine. He understood and could be understood. And importantly, wasn't an idiot. You can deescalate without speaking a common language to the same level, or even at all sometimes. Body language and attitude is key - hence "don't come too close". That lad in the red coat had a terrible attitude, smoking while getting close and barking instead of talking, and his English speaking was fine. At least there's a formal mechanism to (try to) hold SIA to account for poor performance in their public interactions.
@ukfinest123 the one outside the adult clothing store. There was a continuous misunderstanding whilst they were having a dialogue, he was struggling to articulate what he meant.
The Assistant Director was a bit weird but in this film crew was a lot more polite than they are in Hollywood, where they are a lot more hostile to the general public. The guy with the booger was a gem, and the security guy really came around in a nice way.
'AD' = Assistant Director. Can go down 3 levels - 1st, 2nd, 3rd AD (the kid in the red apparently). 3rd AD's deal with the 'Artistes' (Supporting Artistes) aka background cast/extras. The guy you were speaking to is Locations Security.
Thank you for this vicarious experiance AB. I enjoy Your level of respect and professionalism whilst" auditing". The Security guard on the film set was a pleasant person, Thats a rarity these days.. the younger lad will learn with time that respect given is respect earned. Great to see the pigeons out enjoying the music. Keep doing what you do. Peace out!!
Yo! AB!! Your videos are always great to watch, beginning to end. Your humour, your wit, charity, observation and strength of character, make great content. All in this video, redeemed themselves, once they stopped being scared of your camera and showed their human side. I think the security guard at the end, was trying to talk about mucky things, without talking about mucky things, haha. Nice gesture of charity and compassion at the end, respect, peace and love to you good fellow.
I'm from NZ I'm still amazed how security guards like the last guy will come out and tell you you cant film, If you do that in NZ the person will stand there and film you all day just to show you ya wrong. Hell id walk into the shop filming, just to show that if they think its ok to come out on the street and tell me what to do, then its ok for me to come into the store and do what I want.
@mark Suck a fat one you weak tard. I haven't taken a shot, I haven't had covid, and I haven't been denied at any stores. So shut you cockhole or get back down on ya knees ya weak little princess.
James came across so Cool and down to earth, the security was also calm, but that young man oh my dear, he still needs schooling on how to deal with people
Goatie, apologies for the typeo’s in my previous text. AB as promised. Yes it was initially a bit uncomfortable to start with but it did work both ways. Perhaps if you audited people’s reactions to having a random conversation with a stranger in a similar way, behaviours would be far off the reactions you received on the day !! Anyway now I know you’re genuine. It was good and entertaining to meet you. Good 23:07 luck with your audit. Goatie
I don't think it was sly. They are trying to direct a commercial, instructions are being relayed over mics. Security guard understands it may be annoying or a distraction for the actors/film crew if they were to have a full blown conversation a few feet away.
production is production and fair play, but with what they’re being paid, and the high profile of a brand like Specsavers, they need to employ better set protocol and use at least union-level entertainment standard, what an embarrassment to the actual professionals out there doing this smoothly
AT LEAST YOU WHERE ASKED REASONABLY, BY THE STAFF OF THE FILM CREW, TO MOVE TO ONE SIDE... NOT LIKE REGGIE PHOTO, THE AUDITOR IN BLACKPOOL, WHEN THE CONSTABLES THREATENED HIM TO MOVE, AND THE VIDEO OF THE CONSTABLE WENT VIRAL, I AM NOT A MALE I'M FEMALE... THEN REGGIE GOT A VISIT BY CONSTABLES, TO HIS HOME WITH A THREATENING LETTER... EXCELLENT VIDEO, STAY SAFE
If the police were there then they would have muscled in like pathetic losers in this situation too. They think of the general public as cattle to be herded around and whipped if they aren't moving fast enough or disobedient. They protect big business, that's their job.
It’s very educational to know that stuff about the film people. They try and keep everything secret and really people are curious about all of this especially when they see all the equipment. Now I never knew that they rented the equipment I thought they owned it. Very interesting AB thank you.
