#covid protocol

[flanaganfilm]

I tend to get obsessed with scenes where actors have a particularly outstanding performance. I find myself revisiting them over and over again just to relive the moment. Several examples of this, but one that I just love is in Midnight Mass when Kate and Zach are on the rowboat. What's it like experiencing that live, during production? Are you aware in the moment of how special it is or does that become more evident in post? Love to hear any and all details behind the scenes of how those get made. Also curious what scenes from your favorite movies/TV standout as particularly compelling performances by the actors.

This scene is a strange one, because it was the first thing we shot of the whole series. We had been shut down since March 2020 when the initial COVID lockdown hit, and were the first show in North America to go back into production that summer. We didn't know how to do that, and were juggling constantly evolving safety protocols as we tried to figure out how to shoot in this new world. Because a lot of our sets weren't ready to shoot when we came back, we opted to start easy - on our stages, with blue screen work. The boat scene is shot entirely on blue screen, we didn't even have water - the boat was gently rocked back and forth by grips. Kate and Zach were asked to do this huge, heavy, insanely difficult and emotional scene ON OUR FIRST DAY. I had asked them a few weeks prior if they'd be okay with that, as I was worried - they hadn't built their characters yet. They hadn't put a single scene down to draw from. But both said they'd do it, and so we threw them into the deep end.

(That's DP Michael Fimognari in the boat, trying to adjust lighting through his goggles) It was a VERY weird day. We were all wearing KN95 masks and goggles, the actors had to wear full masks and face shields when we weren't rolling. It was absolutely surreal and just about impossible for anyone to get into any headspace that felt like we were doing scene work. I had been fitted with modified motorcycle goggles, as I needed eye protection to be near the actors (it was all more than a bit ridiculous.) There was a ladder on set - you can see it behind Michael in the picture above - and I started the day by climbing it to address the cast and crew. About ten words into my speech, my goggles completely fogged up and I couldn't see anymore. I had to be helped down the ladder by several grips. I remember the first rehearsal was insane because the actors weren't allowed to take off their masks, per Netflix safety protocols. I was also required to wear my mask and goggles throughout, so giving direction to actors who couldn't see my face was a brand new and deeply strange thing (I'd continue to work this way for the next two years, we all got used to it, but this first day was fucking WEIRD). Kate and Zach couldn't even really hear each other through the masks to rehearse, as it was such a quiet and intimate scene. I was standing a few feet away and couldn't hear a damn thing. It was additionally weird because all of the elements of the scene outside of the boat wouldn't be added for many, many months as we got into VFX. There was no water, no stars, nothing at all to look at but hanging blue curtains and masked crew members. I don't know how Kate and Zach were able to put all of that aside and deliver the performances they delivered - oh wait, I suppose I do know. It's because they are exceptional actors. Kate later told me she was so outside of her comfort zone that she had to just dive in and trust every single thing around her. The scenes in the boat ultimately came together beautifully, but I did apologize to both of them later in the shoot. It wasn't fair that we asked them to do that, to start like that, without letting them build any foundation. But both waved it off. Production is chaos, and that particular production was the very first out the gate with COVID, so everything was crazy. They took all of that vulnerability and uncertainty and discomfort and fear and turned it into a handful of scenes that roar with honesty. It's among my favorite moments in what may always be my favorite Intrepid series.

If you think Asians wearing masks everywhere all the time for disease exposure avoidance is a recent thing, surprisingly you’d be wrong. This slide from Japan was snapped in 1953.

Back To School: COVID polices and increased security top discussions at Tri-State schools as students returns return

2022-09-06 10:15:39 NEWARK, New Jersey (WABC) — Back-to-school excitement is in the air and students across the country return for the first day of classes on Tuesday. “It was hard to go to sleep because I was so excited to come to school the next day,” 8th grader Mazyck Thomas said. “I get to socialize with everyone and I get to make a lot of new friends.” The first-day jitters are not just for…

Thinking about the “looking up the same wings of fire memes on google cause I didn’t know how else to get fan content to fuel my hyperfixation” to “having a brainrot tma tumblr and reading a probably considering amount of fanfic” pipeline I went through between the start of COVID till now

#covid #coronavirus #the only bright side here is that there will be a comment period #i think people should give them hell #anyways this is why im always saying covid is a labour issue #they dont care about whether ur healthy they care whether u can be forced to drag urself to work so they can say the GDP went up 0.0001% #covid 19 #oh and ofc they say all this while politicans still have onerous testing protocols

can’t stop thinking about this. people in the comments saying that she felt sick, was waiting for the test results from the on set covid tester, and was sent home when it came back positive. do they realize that doesn’t make this remotely better. she was experiencing symptoms and not only came in to set anyway but wasn’t immediately sent home until the test came back negative. and the scene they shot wasn’t some individual shoot outside it was an indoor school dance with dozens of other actors and crew. this isn’t some heartwarming tale of perseverance. from what i know about the film industry’s covid policies this violated like. all of them.

#someone get tom cruise on the blower!!! #he didn’t yell at enough people for breaking covid protocols actually #he should do it again #like idk man i would prefer the top dog on set take everyone’s safety seriously instead of this horseshit #even when people won’t take their own safety and the safety of other seriously someone has to and it starts at the top

so i know that the tinhat theory is that they live together now and also lived together during quarantine but i’m wondering is there like a normal theory as to why they were in the same place that doesn’t involve them being in the same bubble or breaking quarantine. bc i have always assumed it was one of those two things

#i figure most of the fandom just thinks it was the bubble thing right #since no one tried to cancel them over this #that or ig no one cares abt covid protocols anymore

[magicbats]

i just got covid for the first time 💀

#my boyfriend's new job has no covid protocols and he got it days after working w a woman who tested positive and wasnt masking at work #now our whole household has it #WELP. SOUP AND SLEEP FOR ME IG #eliposting #nonsims

SPNVAN 2022. Jensen & Misha. I’m happy to be edited out, but please do not remove my crappy watermarks.

#it was my birthday yesterday!!! #so I'm sharing a few things to celebrate! #shameless plug: #if you like masquerade balls read the barista and the bookshop #that's right I got an op inspired by my own fic #that's my emotional support convention #I look so dumb in the middle cause misha wasn't meant to wear his mask #(for covid protocol reasons) #and I was telling him off thinking I was gna get in trouble #I was specifically told they could hold them but not wear them #then I got told off by the handlers for taking too long and had to spin around and take the photo #lesson learnt: misha will do whatever he wants #jenmish #cockles #spnvan 22

Men will literally leave their used equipment from their positive COVID test laying around the bathroom for you to touch

#I feel so bad for my brother but I am going full Containment Protocol with this because you couldn't pay me to have COVID again #literally picked it up using a towel and then washed my hands #laurambles #the last time I had COVID I hallucinated a jerma let's play im not fucking doing this again

saltburn was such a dumb movie man

#i watched it tonight since i have to stay in the next couple days before i see family for covid protocol reasons and i just #there are like two or three other movies that do this premise better #someone called it the untalented mr. ripley and i would add it's like if a really dumb guy plagiarized parasite #the grave fucking/menstrual sex/bathwater scenes are all designed in a lab to go viral on tiktok and yet are SO TAME #this is a movie for 18 yr olds who watch maybe one new movie a year to go crazy about #anyway yeah it's well shot and acted but the script is contemptible (not that i expected much from someone who wrote promising young woman) #also it's just really funny to me that this cartoonishly evil class parasite is of course sexually deviant like YAWWWN #i hope ms. fennell finds new material

2, 6, 12, and 15 :0!!!

2: what dish would you bring to a potluck with all your mutuals?

Answered here!

6: if money and social constructs were no object, what sort of clothes would you wear?

Oh man this stumped me. Idk what style is or how to label it u know. Ig just like. I mainly wear outdoorsy clothes? Very meh on clothes tbh. I would bring back cloaks tho

12: what animal do you know too many things about? Care to share some fun facts?

I am actively running a touch table with bird bones/feathers etc so ur gonna get some random bird trivia!

-If u take a pile of bird bones and a pile of bird feathers, the feathers would weigh more, sometimes by 2 or 3 times

-the biggest bald eagle nest we've found was 8 feet across, 18 feet deep, and weighed 2 tons

-kestrels only weigh 1/4 of a pound, so a stick of butter. Or 34 pennies

-Bald eagles can see a fish in the water from a mile up

-vultures are sometimes used to detect gas leaks- the chemical causing the gas scent is also part of that good carrion smell, so if you see a congregation of vultures around where a gas pipeline is and there's no food, the pipes should probably be checked

-bird eyes are spherical, theyre roundish at the front and flare out at the back & are held in place by a ring of bone. This gives them better eyesight at the expense of being able to look around without moving their head, hence the huge amount of rotation in their necks

-owl feathers have a fringed edge, letting them fly silently (but slowly). Other raptors have a smooth edge, letting them fly quickly (but loudly)

15: what was your first proper job? Do you have any interesting stories from it?

Oh boy it was a kennel tech at a uh. Shitty Vet in alabama. Very much a $ over pets kinda place. I only lasted like 2? 3? Months there. Most of my stories are more like horror stories than fun. I did get to walk a goat around on a leash for a while! That was fun

#i think this is a formatting nightmare but i am on mobile so! #yeah most of my vet stories are like. it was 2020 in alabama and i was the only one masked and the only one who didnt get covid #there was no daycare oversight bc we had no staff so we had fightd and injuries almost every day #the boarding cats were upstairs and the people who were assigned to take care of them sometimes forgot they were there #we not only werent allowed to sit down. we werent allowed to stand in the 'breakroom' #so if u were in there u had to be like. folding towels #bc thats where the laundry was #'if you have time to lean you have time to clean' #other stories of that ilk #instead of enforcing actual covid protocols they sent out an email like 'dont give each other emotional support hugs' or some bs like that #anyways lmao #thanks for the ask! #ash tag
