Definitely a godsend. looking for a channel like this for a while. I think at this point I might start coming up with a "online film school curriculum via youtube" XD

Ethan Kaiser thanks for the kind words, and yea dude! Totally do it! Just remember to check your facts before you post. Like "open walkie" and keying in this for example. It's actually not the same thing. Open walkie means your surveillance is unplugged. Otherwise the ep is dead on. So basically, be careful what you post, trolls are unforgiving haha

Haha thanks matt. I have a hate and love relationship with it. Hate it because it's just more crap to wear, love it for the secret agent feel haha

hahahaha

You are important Levi

Just curious, but why do you refuse to wear a walkie? I think they can be a pain sometimes too, depending on the set

***** I need to concentrate on the frame and the director/AD, so the walkie headset is really distracting for me. Typically my keys and 1stAC/Ops are right near me so I can just talk normally and they handle the rest

Studio 73 Productions thanks man, I did screw up the last tip tho. Keying and open walkie are not the same thing. 😞

Hahaha cool!

Thx mang

matt miller yea but just real quickly. Open walkie and keying are not the same thing, open walkie just means your surveillance isn't plugged in. Keying is what I was demonstrating in the video....😬😬😬 sorry

I get it all the time

@@GripTips I hope you're not offended. That just means you're a good looking guy

Hahaha not at all offended. He is! I’ve had highlights in my hair at one point. Probably should’ve kept them haha

Good question....

The Motorola cp200d is what I keep seeing

Chris Cullmann if you were caught I bet you’d probably just get a talking to. It’s more of an honor code thing

Does the cable that goes the the mic long enough to reach to your wrist or only short so you have to hang it around your neck??

isaac n murage murage hm... well tbh I guess I’d need you to teach me that cause idk what that means hahaha. Can you be a little more specific? Always down for more knowledge

After u touch the square button on mobile two way radio scroll the channel button u will see Vox,schlech,clarity etc I.e Kenwood tk 8180

isaac n murage murage ooooooh that would explain why I didn’t know. For film sets we only use the wallows like the motorola cp200’s. Do you work in transpo by chance? Just curious where’d I’d use that on a set. Thanks for the knowledge though

@@GripTips yes am a tour guide in KENYA.

OTHELLO BANACI the Motorola CP200’s are like an industry standard and I agree why they are. Even the ones I’m using here are pretty bulky and honestly were not all that good but the CP200’s are smaller and I haven’t had bad experiences with them aside from batteries eventually losing their charge. But that’s the world of batteries for ya. Even when I was a security guard when I was 18 we used those

Thank you! Yea I’ll look into these.

@@othellobanaci They are pricey as hell at a whopping like $750 a walkie but one could totally get a ROI on them. Its actually something I've debated but its sooooooo much.....BUY A T-SHIRT! hahahaha

Yea I’m doing research now. Lol we need about 5. I’m going to figure out something lol or rent.

@@othellobanaci Bear Com rents them out. Ive never actually done it but on some bigger productions I have been on, They were the ones to supply. I'd look around locally at your G&E houses though. Sometimes you get lucky

Never gets old, I get that a lot. But the main difference is that Ryan lacks a belly hahaha

Yann De Moerloose I think it can go either way and to be honest. I think I've only done it this way a couple of times. Most of the time I find myself and others just saying the other persons name "hey sean, fly in whatever whatever".

Hey There! Yes, you're right it can go either way. It's just that I have been trained and drilled to say it this way. Must say that my way of using it was of more use for multicamera productions than for film productions. Thanks for responding.

You've been drilled to do it the right way! Always who is being called and then who is calling.

@ Yann De Moerloose: Your comments are so correct! The purpose of first identifying who you are calling, BEFORE identifying yourself, is to pre-alert that person that the following message is coming through FOR THEM. Unfortunately, identifying yourself first is a common and perpetual mistake. As you say, the reason for this procedure is that every transmission can be ignored unless a transmission is preceded by your own name/ID. I cringe when I hear the incorrect usage in Hollywood films, especially where actors play professionals such as police, military and pilots, and use the incorrect etiquette. However, I guess that any “closed” communication system can use whatever etiquette (and jargon) they choose, as these guys clearly do.

Oh yea, last episode I tried to fill in the time somehow, I have it setup as a template tho. I agree though, I need to do something about that

Longship Entertainment So where is this written in stone? In the same book, saying that Christopher Columbus discovered America? YET when he arrived he was greeted by Natives....

Mr T. R. Ace Vikings actually discovered the Americas

@@elbucho8867 Natives discovered America

@@ReasonAboveEverything correct. What I should have said is Vikings were the first Europeans in the Americas.

Doesn't matter, as long as both parties understand eachother.

I’ve said copy that, copy copy, copy you. I’ve also heard that on the other end so… idk sounds like it to me… see what I did there?… cause it’s “sounds like”… I’ll see my self out hahahha

@@GripTips I had a dispatcher one time whose pet peeve was "copy that." Lol..

@@vyoufinder meh, can’t please everyone. In our industry the walkies sometimes don’t key immediately so I think we typically try to delay our talking or add a word in the beginning just so “copy” or something is heard. Like “copy that” on the other end would be heard “…y that” or “copy copy” would be heard “copy”.
