  • “Roll Tape” Doesn’t Work Anymore!

    Posted by John Fishback on June 29, 2007 at 1:49 am

    We just started shooting with P2. “Roll tape” doesn’t make sense anymore. What are folks calling to start the camera? Energize?

    What we always said…

    “Roll camera!”

    Typically follows “Roll sound.”

    Yup- I don’t think I ever said roll tape or roll film- just roll camera.

    We use roll tape in mobile trucks, but then again we probably say a lot of things that are not right.

    How about “push the red button” or better yet, “ENGAGE”

    I use “Get busy!”

    My operator responds, “Busy!”

    “Commence the moving of electrons……!”

    “WeDoP2!”

    “Flip the switch!”

    “Record Data!”

    “Watch your magnets!”

    “Roll Tapeless!”

    “Release the hounds!”

    or “Wewease Bwian!”

    or…better yet. “CRY HAVOK and let slip the dogs of war!”

    “Havok commensing.”

    “Action.”

    [Shane Ross] “”CRY HAVOK and let slip the dogs of war!””

    Boy oh boy, might just have to use that one.

    Scaring first time clients is one of my guiltiest pleasures…. ;-D

    until they scare me back.

    [msacci] “”ENGAGE””

    But you have to remember to point as you say it!

    “Digitize!” Or, if it’s a union shoot, “Where’s craft services?”
