Okay, I’m not talking about portal-to-portal: what’s the longest you’ve spent, on the clock, working on a set in one day?
I had some friends on the SNL film unit talk about a hellscape of 18 hours, but I know they mostly do two separate crews with separate shifts if they can staff it.
My personal record is 16.75 hours, sadly on a union majors movie. That was a lucrative but horrible day.
Mine is 17:45 on a 30 second car commercial, way too long, but the money was nice :-)
Holy crap!
I mean it’s long but i heard of way longer days? especially in the location departement? A flatmate of mine worked there and told me crazy stories… Anyone to back these up?
