we who shoot are a superstitious lot.
if you really look at it - an hour on the shoot floor is about 15k - withoug the cost of sets or artists. It is expensive. can't afford any f***ups.
And, given the number of people on a shoot floor, the constant flurry of activity, lots of moving parts, tons of electronis and lots of electricity - not to mention an ego and a half per person - it helps to have stuff that wards off mishaps.
what kind of mishaps - anything from a fuse blowing, to food poisoning, to cranky acotrs, to crankier clients :)
the thing is to handle all of this and ensure that you don't lose money !

the gatekeeper and the two spots.
a spot boy is a person who is 'on the spot'. essentially a runner - who is at everyone's beck and call.
the spot boy's union card costs more than the producer's union card :)
