Say what you want, but it's a well-known fact that movie sets are rather known for moments of hilarity and absurdity behind the heavy curtain (especially in Hollywood), and in the age of social media, these moments are swiftly transformed into some rather good content as well. And of course, as with any content... memes are bound to be created. These memes often capture the funny side of actors and staff working on a set which a lot of fans find amusing as they get to see the personalities behind the characters they like.
Oh, and one such treasure trove just for memes based on this topic is the Facebook group "Movie Set Memes." With thousands of members from all corners of the globe, this group has established itself as the go-to destination for the best set memes around when it comes to movies and TV shows.

As we mentioned previously, Bored Panda reached out to Robertas Nevecka, a multifaceted Lithuanian artist, animator, and illustrator who is also known for working as an Assistant Director on various movie sets.
One of the first questions posed to Robertas was about his experiences as an Assistant Director. He replied, "Once, we had to film a real house burning down, involving a few actors, around 100 extras, firemen, a 16mm film camera, and one cow. We rehearsed extensively because everything had to work in sync, but things went wrong once the fire was lit. We were too close to withstand the inferno's heat. We had to back down, regroup, and wait until the fire subsided. However, we still managed to capture three difficult shots amidst the blazing barn flames. Working as an assistant director is like being in a constant workshop for film directing. You get up close to all the creative people on set, observe their tools and tricks in action, and analyze what worked and what didn't when you see the final movie."

I mean, you've got Netflix and chill, I guess HBO Max and climax(?), maybe it's a good thing that they didn't drop it, otherwise it would have been repetitive.

Sorry, can't come to school today, I was just cast in a teen drama. What do you mean I need acting expirience, everyone knows actors are randomly selected. Besides, I was in a couple plays in elementary school, I'm sure that counts.
When asked how he incorporates his artistic style into his films and graphical narratives, he confessed that he had been avoiding doing so because of his dislike for his own style. He stated, "I hired much better artists than myself to run away from my awful drawings. However, things have slightly changed now, and I have learned to accept and embrace my personal style. In fact, I'm currently working on my next animated film, titled 'Fishing Docks,' in my own unique style. Perhaps, only after completing this film, will I be able to fully answer this question. It's possible that I may fail miserably and resort to hiring more skilled artists once again."
He also shared insights into how his experience as a director and animator has influenced his illustrating work. He said, "When you aspire to be a film director, you begin hunting for stories. Every day, you make an effort to observe and document events that occur to you or your friends. Frequently, while reading a news article, you contemplate whether it could be transformed into a screenplay. The Notes app on my phone is brimming with dialogues overheard from random people on the street. This profoundly influences my illustrations, as I prioritize the narratives conveyed by the drawings rather than focusing solely on style or technique."

He didn't "purchase the horse from its owner," he bought it at the auction after filming wrapped. Because horses can't just go into storage, studios unload them when they're done.
When asked by us, Robertas also elaborated on a project where he combined his skills as a director, animator, and illustrator - his debut short film, 'Snow Shelter'. He stated, "The film utilized the rotoscoped animation technique, which involved filming real actors and subsequently transforming them into animated characters by drawing over their footage. Throughout the production, I fulfilled multiple roles: serving as a film director during the live-action shooting, collaborating as an animator with the animation crew, and working as an illustrator with the background artist to develop the film's visual style."

As someone who shoots in RAW, this hits right in the feels. Wife paid for a family photoshoot... they supplied the 'high quality' files (over saturated) in 10mb Jpeg!

I have the same issue with them using an animal species but native to the area they are supposed to be, or when I play a video game that is supposed to be "realistic", but they have species together that don't naturally live together, or lived thousands or millions of years apart, without any sort of explanation as to why/how.

Was working on a show that went on hiatus, for two weeks, after the Director was "asked" to go on an Anger Management Course after he threw things around the Set, and tried to fire the Producers. Fun times.

The director of "Birdemic" did this too, except he didn't bother with the editing part (or any other basic film making techniques for that matter)

Three days of Company Moves in Upstate New York. The map that Locations handed out looked like it should have been hanging in an FBI office as they tracked down a Serial Killer. Different coloured lines crossing back, and forth over multiple Counties.

... I was an extra in a movie, on screen for about 3 seconds. One night, watching TV with my kids, we scrolled past that movie. "Stop!" I cried. "That's MOMMY!" - and - a Miracle! - they stopped scrolling at EXACTLY the right moment to see Mommy walk across the background of the scene. EPIC!!

An Alexa 35 sells for about $8000 USD used. Just the body. A total package for a student film is about $25K. To shoot large format about $40K. Amira is their other line and it’s comparable in pricing. Just a little more. None of this includes mounts of any sort.
