This blog is all about the truth of life below the line, but given that April 1 finally fell on a Sunday -- and having had the photo on hand for a year or so -- I figured I'd venture out on the thin ice of attempted humor. <br /><br />But as is glaringly apparent, there's a reason I'm not a comedy writer...<br /><br />The head gear is actually one of the many "Cronie-cones" our DP loves to put in front of his back-cross lights on a sit-com set. While wrapping a show last year, the dimmer op put one on his head and I snapped the photo. It'll be a long time before April 1 falls on a Sunday again, so rest easy -- no more jokes here in the foreseeable future. <br /><br />JD --<br /><br />I wear a baseball cap, often turned backwards, while working in a lift up in the pipes to cushion the occasional (and inevitable) head-bangs. But that's as far as I'm willing to go -- a hard hat is out of the question. No way will I wear one of those unless such use becomes mandatory... and hopefully I'll be done with all this by the time that dark and dismal day arrives.<br /><br />As for UV glasses -- there's rarely any source of UV on a sit-com stage, and most such sources (HMI lamps and Xenons) are shielded to protect people's eyes. I don't see much reason to wear UV eye protection in the normal course of juicing on any show, much less a multi-camera production.Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569781786039595929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-62911060038098672592012-04-02T08:36:37.686-07:002012-04-02T08:36:37.686-07:00Actually, a bump cap and safety glasses while work...Actually, a bump cap and safety glasses while working aloft aren't a bad idea.
