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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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. 👌👏
Probably wouldnt reccomend, unfortunately because batteries are often called bricks on a set. Although it would be funny, could cause some confusion over walkies
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
This can be applied anywhere, not just film sets, but my favorite is one I got from my PE teacher. Whenever the kids were crowding by the door to the locker room and he needed to unlock it he'd say "Hot soup!" which was everyone's cue to part like the Red Sea.
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.
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.
strangely "stepping on" or " walking on" wasnt on the list. but yeah that was used on a uk set and it took me a few times to understand it means someone has been asked to walk onto the set like an ac with a lense etc or a make up refresh
FWIW, on film set, “copy,” is very commonly used for, “heard and understood.” So, it’s widely accepted. And this isn’t to challenge or criticize, but just more intended like fun trivia, Coz we all do that now. However, “Copy,” is actually intended to be used when a communication goes out to multiple recipients, or not intended for you personally, but you want to acknowledge it. Normally you’d repeat the key point of the message. Example, the PM say’s, “attention, everyone, lunch will arrive at 12:30.” Your response could be, “Gary copies, 12:30,” or, “Copy, 12:30.” If the communique or instruction is directed to you personally, the correct etiquette is, “Roger, 12:30,” or, “Roger that,” or even, “acknowledged, 12:30.” For fun, and just to throw more options, I’ve also heard trained operators use this response: “Roger that, 12:30 heard.” Or, abbreviated, “12:30 heard.” Have a great day! 😊
Good call on this episode. A cool method of reviewing this may be to fake an actual set (or real one) and show the items as they happen. This may help people to attach lingo to real world situations!
it was a short film and only term i heard on set it was "copy" used by gaffer all time and that's how i learnt that some of indian fillm industry filmmakers not work so efficiently :/ may be first time on set and my over-observation. this video is really helpful
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.
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.
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.

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
THAT WAS THE HOT SET. You know what happens now. Shit touches you
hey we`ve all been through that, its rough oi
I love the idea of Josh hosting more of these entry-level type episodes!
romanian?
Could've used some more info on "That's Lunch" other than that, good episode.
like wtf is actually for lunch? Tacos? Burgers? Its mystery
Dallas Dan Digital Productions exactly. Single most important question, and it’s left unanswered :-/
What’s fer lunch?
Lmaoo
Hah this is perfect! I remember the days of not understanding anyyyyything 😂
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.
I'm there with you bud. Best of luck to all you're future ambitions
@@gabrielidusogie9189 thank you mate!
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.
We just call that "one for safety." I wish we had something more obscure like that.
@@rainesonfilm Does State Farm have production insurance? Acord is the one I see usually.
@@rainesonfilm 👍🏽
@@Workbenchtv You should start a new phrase. XD
Interesting! Is that insurance company Delta Lloyd, by any chance? Or a different Lloyd?
Normally I can’t stand these kinds of instructional Chanels - but the humor in this is great ... lightening up the on set seriousness. GREAT.
Here from Argentina, speaking mostly Spanish makes me really love this video
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!
Super newbie here and this was very helpful. Love how terms from other industries (like truckers) are used. Thanks!
cant stress enough how much I loved this.. this is the old school filmriot joking around we all have been loving for all those years
“When I say ‘Hello Gary’ and press down on your foot, you smile and nod.”
psst, I think hes talking to you
hello mr thompson
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.
Good luck man
How'd it go three years ago?
Josh, you are a very informative and entertaining host. Thanks for the great episode
This is the best one of on set lingo. Better than explaining stingers and c stands.
5:57 I was so ready for the lighthouse scene but didn't happend 😭
OMG YES!
This was great you should do a longer one with every single term
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. 👌👏
Instead of 10-2 I’d say “dropping a hot brick”
The latter sounds much more satisfying
Probably wouldnt reccomend, unfortunately because batteries are often called bricks on a set. Although it would be funny, could cause some confusion over walkies
Hey, can you drop hot brick for Sony A7M3 please?
I've heard "Drop the kids off at the pool".
Whyyyyy 😂😂
A Josh episode!!! And Ryan, ironically just "Josh'n around".
I love these brothers so much. So much knowledge,so much fun.
I literally just watched that c-stand video yesterday and replayed the hidden ending like 4 times.
Happy to see it back again 😂
No one:
Absolutely No one:
That one kid in class when the teacher says to be quite: 6:07
Josh you are so awesome!!
Love that there's so much similarity to restaurant lingo.
We need more Josh episodes in our lives!
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!
The person behind the camera is so supportive
6 years on set missing lunches, you're a God sent
I truly love Josh. He's fucking ridiculous. The world needs more Josh in it.
Yes the ever so professional Justin Robinson 6:07
In Vancouver, Canada , we mostly use the term "Window" instead of "Martini"
My first time on set I was mostly confused by all the weird names for equipment, especially lighting equipment!
Thank you this will be helpful for my new job in a film studio
thank god i learn "thats lunch"
last time i went to dinner and nearly got fired :(
Great episode Josh
The communication-related terms remind me of a lot of those we used back when I worked in EMS. Easy to remember!
Thanks for this inspirational video I love your channel Film Roit. You taught me how to edit and shoot, I created my own channel.
🔥
🙏
dope
💯
Don't forget to write, shoot, edit, repeat.
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
Putting LEGOs in front of every step you take is still the best threat I have ever heard
Bogey, Bogey on deck, or Bogey on set!!! is walkie talkie in stunt department means unauthorized person is on a working set
This can be applied anywhere, not just film sets, but my favorite is one I got from my PE teacher. Whenever the kids were crowding by the door to the locker room and he needed to unlock it he'd say "Hot soup!" which was everyone's cue to part like the Red Sea.
Very good episode

And... "Thank YOU" so much for NOOOOO background noise (music).
Thank you for sharing this GREAT Video. Josh you Rock!!! and Justin too.
SOO HELPFUL!
"This was hilarious!" - Gary
10-1, 10-2 and 10-20 are all CB radio terms. You could use "10-4" as well for the affirmative.
I want more Josh.
Only you can make a tutorial feel threatening! 😂
strangely "stepping on" or " walking on" wasnt on the list. but yeah that was used on a uk set and it took me a few times to understand it means someone has been asked to walk onto the set like an ac with a lense etc or a make up refresh
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.
Could you make a video talking about Room 8 short film box effect? Thanks, I think its so amazing.

I love it! More please!
This one is great! Love you guys)
≈4.30 - Craft Services (also seen "Crafty"). A most valued aspect of any production...
Thanks for putting some useful info in an amusing l'il package. Love, Gary.
shocked to see josh in a serious mood😂
Good call on this episode. A cool method of reviewing this may be to fake an actual set (or real one) and show the items as they happen. This may help people to attach lingo to real world situations!
josh needs to do more episodes
I love these peoples humor
Good video guys! Keep up the good work!
I always wondered what Wil Wheaton with attitude would be like... thanks guys
I'm sending new P.As straight to this ~ thanks dude!
Love Josh’s shirt. Where’d you get it?
www.triunedigital.com/collections/apparel/products/aspect-ratios :)
Looks like aspect ratios?
I think Ron Swanson would approve of your courtesy breakfast at 11:30PM.
I found the sarcasm from 2:35 - 2:49 really funny for some reason 😂🤣
First day on shoot and this video apear in notification
Blissful
Thank Josh
& Ryan :)
it was a short film and only term i heard on set it was "copy" used by gaffer all time and that's how i learnt that some of indian fillm industry filmmakers not work so efficiently :/ may be first time on set and my over-observation.
this video is really helpful
This was good. Very valuable. Maybe do another one with more terms? Go deeper!
chemistry beetween them is priceless
Be the Gary you want to see in the world.
Josh is my best friend in my head! 😂 Bravo! Great information and so well presented. Thank you!
Totally add more terms!!! Do another episode where you explain film terms!
I watched this whilst taking a 10-2
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.
It ends up being quicker and more understandable over radio, especially on larger crews.
It's akin to military lingo i think. Act quick, and do something!
As the above commentator said, quicker. And time is invaluable when you're shooting.
@Purplealchemist that's the point
Best episode ever!
I just wish Justin Robinson was right in front of the green screen… the potential.
I love your humor!
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.
10-1 & 10-2 surprised me. But that’s very good to have I guess ☺️
You will find me and put Legos in front of every step I take... Worth it! I have some pitches for you guys 😁
FAM,, , you guys are hilarious!! ! 😂 Would totally watch a sitcom starring Josh & Ryan!! ! 🙌🏾👑🙏🏾🌞💚🎉🌟👽
How the craft tables have turned, having Josh front and center...
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.
That was great. Good job guys
yeah i’ll probably never use half of this when i actually get around to filming any screenplays i actually get around to finishing.
Fun episode to watch. Thanks guys ))
