Error counts: 0 Me: *Blink* Error counts: 39428 WTF.

I bet she can never watch a movie peacefully

But did you see the man in a gorilla suit walk through the scene?

Director: "CUT!!" Actor: _takes off pink tie and changes it for green one_ Script Supervisor: "What the F...!"

Don’t you just hate when *_your dragon gets accidentally replaced by some horse_*

Me: *Exists* Martha: That is actually a mistake.

"I'm gonna count to 70" Seems a little excessive but go off.

So i guess the script supervisor was absent during that game of thrones episode with the coffee cup lol

Imagine how good she is at those spot the difference things on the back of kids menus

So Riverdale does not have a script supervisor, good to know.

This is just a minimum part of a movie. Imagine an entire movie... that would be so stressful

She's like Cinema Sins, but before the movie comes out.

if she was my teacher. she probably will know i copied others homework

Random person: *is randomly standing* Martha Pinson: This is actually a mistake

3:26 The actor on the right interlocks his fingers, but his hands are apart in the wide shot @ 3:27 Also at 4:22 the man slaps the folder on the desk, but in the next shot you can see the folder swinging past. Edit: Whoa I've never had so many likes before! Thanks for the 1K!

This woman feels like your favorite teacher in middle school

Great, but who burned down Joann Fabrics?

4:22 lawyer slams folder down with finality; 4:23 still waving it.

Waldo: no one will ever find me Script supervisor: ima bout to end this mans career

She must be the person who fills out all the IMDB goofs.

Are we not going to talk about how absolutely riveting that acting and script is?

It's crazy how i didn't notice anything until she talks about it

This is so detailed, you can tell she is professional in her field

0:26 blinds are mostly open 1:38 blinds are mostly closed

And here I was, thinking a script supervisor just made sure the actors said the right lines... Very cool Martha, thanks!

Script supervisors also keep track of how much of the script gets shot each day, how much footage is shot each day, and makes notes on the script which are useful for the editors.

*Another error:* The actors keep saying "Joann's Fabrics" while the mugshot says "Joann Fabric".

No comments about "I'm gonna count to seventy"??

**Secretly an Ad for JoAnn’s fabrics**

I now have a completely new respect for editors. Mind blowing

When the actor said, “Alright, I’m leaving” His sunglasses were on his shirt.

0:30 there're 2 plastic cups in front of the lawyer but greg's supposed to be holding one of those 4:14 the paper's there but then in 4:15 the lawyer's holding it

She is a legend. One of the many people Scorsese keeps hiring and one of the many reasons his movies are all top notch.

You end up with a Starbucks cup casually sitting on a Winterfell banquet hall table.

why is nobody talking about that white clock disappearing

Him: *Breathes* Martha: _That’s not suppose to happen_

They keep saying Joann's Fabrics but the mugshot says Joann Fabric. Neat.

There's a nice old lady talking the whole time while I'm watching the movie.

just watched the gaffer video - that was way too technical - I thought I had attention to detail this is a whole new level - respect to these professionals

Idk how universal Joann's is but the fact that it's being used in this scene cracks me up

Loved this video despite me realising I am very unobservant

Admittedly, some of those rules may be broken on purpose. I remember attending a workshop once where we discussed an old Japanese movie where spacial continuity was seriously messed up and it created a strong sense of confusion and anxiety - exactly as the director intended and the movie was a masterpiece. So, in the end, you can do whatever you want as long as you know why and/or how it works.

The clock on the shelf disappears completely in the rest of the take : )

This is basically one huge game of find the difference

wHaT DoES ThaT MeAn GReG

I see these kinds of mistakes all the time in movies. They need more people like you in the industry...

Stevie Wonder was a guest script supervisor at the game of thrones star bucks cup episode

Whoa! Seems to me the Script Supervisor has the toughest job of all the people working on a film. Respect ✊

"And this dragon thing." Hahaha

I love how creative these explanations are! Great stuff!

The game of thrones script supervisor definitely needs to be blacklisted. Missed a whole Starbucks cup 🤦🏾‍♀️. On another note this women is phenomenal. Her attention to detail is pure genius. Bravo madam bravo 👏🏾

also the digital clock in the background literally just disappeared and wasn't mentioned again

Categories the Oscars should have -Script Supervisor -Stunt Coordinator

*5:50** Who on earth counts to 70😂😂😂😂*

Q. What happens when a movie has no script supervisor? A. Game Of Thrones

"What does that mean, Greg?" "It means it can throw off the emotion an actor is trying to convey." Alright, I love this video.

Oh snap! She got us! In the beginning of the video she was wearing purple and at the end she is wearing a blue shirt!

One more mistake: When the lawyer handed over the folder, it dit not get turned around. So it would have been upside down in one take

This video is fantastic!!! I have been an actress… And I am an acting teacher… Years ago my daughter worked at a movie theater in a tiny town and we would wait till everybody left and re-run the movie and have my students Watch for the continuity… Continuity is absolutely everything and this woman is fantastic!!! Thank you so much for sharing this great video!! I am now going to watch it again.

Y’all notice that the guy had his sunglasses on his head in the mugshot

I can now think of MANY movies that obviously did not have script supervisors.

I'm studying in the media and this video is such a great thing to watch!

Legitimately a bop, holy crap! I like how you kept the lyrics the same and changed the instruments and arrangement, it changes the song while still keeping the main structure, which in my opinion is a really nice touch. Great job!

6:15 Greg glasses is tucked in his shirt, but the next shot the glasses is on his head

This Lady just put cinemasins to shame, haha.

But the real question is... Who burned down Joann’s Fabric Store?

I noticed the sunglasses position in the end, and the necktie color in the beginning. Not much else. Awesome editing in this video, by the way!

i just want ms martha to come in and fix my life!!!!!

Wow okay today I learned I'd be an absolutely horrible script supervisor 😂

Lol i did not notice any error till she mentioned it

That 180 degree rule really works. As that scene played, something felt off, and as soon as I did, the woman pointed it out

I was in awe when she talks about eyeline continuity, never even thought of that

Cinema Sins is a real job ..?

The clock on the third shelf is missing in the last shot

Differences between 6:32 and 6:38 - The lighting behind the blights is much darker - The time on the wall clock is set an hour back - The coffee mugs have change positions - Greg/Sammy's chair has turned more inward - The items that were previously leaned up on the plant on the bottom shelf are now gone

In the Blocking for Movement section at 6:09 Sammy's sunglasses are moving around again. I love this series about film making.

The green pool ball changes places several times (compare 0:15 to 0:33) including during the blocking shot (6:22) when it's gone so far right that it's behind the cup. While Sammy is standing up holding his cup with yellow straw, you can see both cups (pink and yellow straws) sitting on the desk in the close up shot at 0:26. At 0:06 there is a lamp in the back corner behind Don, but it drops in and out of shots. It's seen in shots a 1:30 but not 1:46. At 2:50 you can see the lamp, but at 2:55 you can't. The blinds behind Don aren't the same throughout. Just compare 0:10 and 0:30 as it's the same shot and easiest to see the difference. The very end shows Don opening the blinds to look outside, and they weren't put back to same place after each take. Sometimes there are pieces of paper leaned up (0:36) against the bonsai tree on the lowest shelf and sometimes not (6:43). At 4:33 Don hands the folder with his right hand (no watch) but at 4:44 he is retracting his left hand (watch on wrist).

"Im gonna count to seventy" lmao

The only thing I noticed is that: 1. They took the time to mention the digital clock, then the digital clock is never seen again (could be one of the objects purposefully removed to prevent continuity errors). 2. They took the time to synchronize the wrist watch with the wall clock, but at the end of the scene, no time has past.

I love how creative is this video and something funny is that I love the movie "Hugo" with all my heart and some of the continuity mistakes that I felt too noticeable were that in one scene a key was semi-buried between the train tracks and in the other shot the key was over the track. Also when Hugo practices his magic tricks in front of the automaton, he picks a card with his right hand and the next shot he is holding it with his left hand.

So we have to be perfectionist, have a great memorization skill, and sharp eyes. Got it. I'm fine with my current job.

I always thought a script supervisor was a person who made sure the script/lines are being said word for word. Mad respect for this job title.

BROOOOO THESE THINGS BOTHER ME SO MUCH WHEN IM WATCHING A MOVIE

Oh god never even thought of having to deal with clocks in a scene, what a nightmare

Script Supervisors are so underappreciated. Glad to see a video celebrating them!

BRO THE CLOCK IN THE BACKGROUND JUST DISAPPEARED HALFWAY THROUGH

These Vanity Fair videos show why blockbuster movies have thousands of people working. It's not for complexity, it's actually for keeping things tidy and simple. Because even if you don't notice these mistakes consciously, you feel that something is off and takes you out of the movie. Keep these videos up Vanity Fair.

This is a great resource for making continuity obvious - well written, illustrative

As an actor, I learned these things early in my career. Now when I'm on set, I'm always paying attention to the direction I move and which hand I use things with and when in the scene I do certain actions. As a result editors and script supervisors love me. :-)

omg! Martha! I attended one of her scripty workshops in film school. LOVE HER!!!

The fact that I caught none of these means I don’t really need a script supervisor lmao

She's like a proofreader for film! I LOVE IT!!!

Script sups are a rare breed of OCD. I love them. Usually the nicest people.

when there were still smoothies in the scene we see the one guy stand up with his smoothie yet when we cut back to the lawyer both smoothies are still on the table...been script supervising for a few years now but it is always nice to see more love and understanding shown to the job.

I just feel so relaxed everytime I listen to an expert talking about things....

These are brilliant! Great content, thank you Vanity Fair, and thank you Miss Pinson.

at 4:14 there is another error. The guy lifted the top part of the paper forward and never picked it up completely but in the next shot he is putting 2 pieces of paper back in the folder as if he took them out.

White clock disappeared! I was waiting for her to correct it but she didn’t! yay I win

OMG! I can't believe you do all this! Bravo! You are worth your weight in gold!

This is so well made! Super helpful!
