The first shoot I ever worked on was a location shoot in Philadelphia for a clothing company.
I'm helping set up the dolly track, and the dolly is already on the first part of the track. The AC sets the 35mm film camera onto the dolly, but doesn't attach it. He then walks away to get the screws to attach it.
Before he comes back, the dolly grip comes over and pushes the dolly and the 35mm film camera bounces off the cement.
The punchline is that even though it was one hundred percent the fault of the moron AC who left a camera unsecured on top of a mount, the AC was related to the director, so the director fired the dolly grip on the spot. Film and teevee is drunk with nepotism and is always worse off for it.

jangbones - 2011-12-01 Teevee is filled with some of the most repulsive dickholes on the planet.
I once stood up to an insane agency producer who responded by calling my manager and telling him he personally saw me doing meth in the back of the building, which of course was a complete fabrication.
Fortunately my boss is a good friend of mine and we laughed about it, but what kind of human do you have to be to even attempt something like that?

Time Travel: That, ladies and gents, is a sneaker wave. You can even see a killer log (actual term) rolling in the distance.
