Again, I implore folks to simply WAIT until all the facts are known before jumping to conclusions. I've been there for over 3 decades. LOTS of stuff still to be sorted out as I posted earlier.

Originally posted by Mark Tolch View PostI'm not jumping to conclusions haha. All I know is that somebody died on a movie set, and that's horrible.
And, Paul H. previously "jumped" to the conclusion that the Propmaster and/or Armorer were IATSE.
Please, folks, don't speculate - wait.Last edited by JoeS; 10-23-2021, 12:46 PM.

Originally posted by Dom D View PostFake blood usually looks shit. I'll maintain my stance that fake muzzle flash, done well, looks much more realistic than blanks. Gives you a lot more freedom as a filmmaker too. Half those headshots in John Wick couldn't be done with blanks.
The bottom line is, even if you use blanks, the camera doesn't always capture the flash due to shutter angle/speed, etc. And they're pretty invisible doing exterior day.

There's already so much politically driven misinformation (not to mention willful disinformation) that Snopes is fact-checking this incident: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/al...ting-incident/
