Does anyone notice true will smith in the helpers

6:19

God I have so many ideas for short films and stuff. Just don't know how to be a producer. I can write and edit and direct. Just not be a producer 😅

I've always want to be a director/producer since I watched the cornetto trilogy and this has just helped with my knowledge of the film industry

Timker how do 2 movy?

I'm glad to see the people behind the scenes

Holdup--- TomSka's worked with Will Smith?!

wooo cinematographers

Will Smith showing up in the Extras credits was unexpected Is it THAT Will Smith? Maybe. Or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tom are you on a diet and NO I am not saying it to be mean. I am just on a workout myself and I want tip on dieting. If you have any tips please respond. That goes for anyone in the comment section as well.

420th comment

I appreciate your appreciation.

Hi Tomska this feels like something that you would both do and it might be somewhat relevant to the video #Thankmas join Jacksepticeye at December 13 To possibly make 2020 a slightly better year

Hello

Awesome that you mentioned everyone that you’ve worked with.

TOOOOOM, THIS IS YOU???!!??

Hi Tomas

#CONTENT2

It's too bad about the game. I still wanted to play it...

"When we needed a church she'd find one and lie about it being a safe religious wedding sketch..."

Fuck yeeee somone actually thaght about subtitles as the deff bitch I say thank yoy

: )

So the question is, self-flagellation aside, how do you get those people to believe in you enough to devote time on a project they have no stake in, in the begining? In essence, how did you manage to gather your first team?

Oh no no

Thanksday. Such a momentous holiday.

why is there a mini gun in the background?

Heyy tom. I want to make a TV show when I grow up and just wanted to say thanks. U really inspired me when I was a kid, and continue to help, inspire and make me laugh to this day

You have such great hair!

I figured Hazel would've been mentioned here somewhere. Guess not

This was good

Good video

Tom, speaking as a beardm'n approaching 40 who has followed your career from your earliest videos to make their way under my nose all the way across in Australia PRE-YouTube, I just wanted to say that it is videos like this that proves your personal growth and evolution. We've all grown from being awkward, weird kids doing some questionable and dumb shit that would probably cancel us today, but your efforts to ensure the people you have worked with, the people you've *peripherally* worked with, and others in your life - be they people you know or just people who look up to you / enjoy your mouth-sounds in our ear holes - know that they are valued, appreciated, and are having their talents spruiked to allow others to potentially work with them is just proof that you are a person of quality and ethics. Thank you for being awesome, for learning from mistakes and OWNING them, and for being as transparent as an online creator can be without sacrificing 100% of their private life. You're awesome mate.

Thank you for talking about this! I want to make short films + skits one day and this is all extremely interesting and insightful stuff to know! Always appreciated your insight Tom

Well this didn’t find its way to my sub box, thanks YouTube

Production can be so underrated and is the thing that makes things happen. I enjoy production a lot and you get see things before it actually happens once it is released out there.

This was my parents and I don't wanna talk about how they did that. He should've linked the sex talk video there...

WILL SMITH HAS WORKED WITH TOMSKA (it’s probs a different person but whatever)

Maybe a dumb question, what happened CatAttack? I bought it back in the day and finished it, but I kinda forgot about it.

It got taken down from app stores because the developers went out of business.

Love this info and just getting people to follow and appreciate for that good content!

That’s a nice outfit Tom

As someone who has made a short film and due to extremely low budget circumstances and time constraints had to take both the roles of director and assistant director at the same time I can tell you that the complaining about the assistant director behind their back part is 100% true. That was an awful experience, I don't know how people are volunteering to be an assistant director. You're fucking nuts and incredibly courageous.

'Who is the most important person on set?' The fluffer? 'The director?' oh 'The producer!' Ohhhhh

Gosh it's weird to hear Tom say Bing's full name.

WHY DOES THIS HAVE ONLY 50K VIEWS?!

This would have been useful for my media course last year

hair cut like Jimmy Neutron

I like to explain ships roles in terms of naval terms. Your Quartermaster is your Director(They make the calls to the senior crew), your Captain is your Producer(It's their boat, and their job to marshall those resources), and your Bosun(Boatswain) is your AD(whose job is to make those calls to the crew as a whole). Your director's doing quiet talking with your seniors and the producer at the helm(monitors) while your AD is doing an awful lot of yelling to get people to DO the things that those senior crewmen come up with.

Also, to further clarify, because I realized I did not clarify that well in my previous statement, directors are in fact giving orders. They're giving orders to actors. They don't have time to give orders to the crew. That's what your AD is for.

Also also, the helpers, gophers, runners, etc, that you're talking about, they all fall under the umbrella of Production Assistants, in my experience. Some get delegated certain jobs(i.e. on one set, we had a dozen PAs and only ONE of them had a driver's license... and didn't have a car. So they ended up having to take the soundy's car into town to get some things that had been forgotten. That was almost a very, VERY tense conversation because apparently he was not a very good driver), but ultimately, they're the new guys, the young ones, the fresh-out-of-community-college types who, while some of them won't shut up about THEIR vision and THEIR perfect movie and THEIR pitch(you learn not to do that in the first few jobs), in most cases, a production flat-out does not happen without these guys. Now, things like Uber Eats have made some of their jobs less necessary, but there's always gonna need to be someone to go grab someone, or someone to schlep gear off the truck, or someone to go get that really important thing out of the car that someone forgot that's SUPER important but that they can never, ever, EVER remember to get out of their damn car when coming onto the set YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE MR. SCRIPT SUPERVISOR WHO NEVER BROUGHT THEIR DAMN READING GLASSES WITH THEM ONTO THE SET AND HAD TO TAKE UP RUNNERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN JUST TO GO GRAB THEM FROM YOUR CUPHOLDER. All of which is to say, for small productions, sure, basically EVERYONE is a PA, because on small productions, everyone's wearing a lot of hats, but once you get into the big leagues, you learn that outside of very specific people whose names might rhyme with Bobert Bodriguez, the many-hats thing is.. frowned upon. Not just because your work suffers, but also because you're taking someone else's job, and therefore, someone else's income, away from them. Which may make you feel great as a producer, because money saving, but gig work is a cosmic bitch, and for PAs, they're the lowest rung on the pay totem pole, with an industry standard rate of about 200 a day. Which might SOUND like a good day's pay, but then you gotta remember that that's a minimum 10 hour day with VERY weird breaks(maybe), and that once production is over, you're back in the unemployment line, and you're HOPING that you're on a call sheet for another upcoming production. Lotta ramen noodles for production assistants. Also when I say weird breaks, that's one of the things no one tells you about film production. There's a lot of downtime, but never in the way you think it is. The PAs, the grips, the gaffers, and a BUNCH of the other crew, once the actors are on their marks, their job is usually to fuck off. Go hang out at craft services, don't catch eyelines, don't talk, don't make excessive noise(or any noise), and scarper until a cut is called. Which is funny, because you're often told to "Always look busy, never just stand around, there's always something you could be doing", but on a set, you do a LOT of standing around.

Also an underappreciated job of art directors is to watch for continuity issues. Or for set intrusions. It'd be very bad for worldbuilding, for instance, if someone left their starbucks cup in on a banquet table in the middle of a shot in a fantasy medieval setting, for instance. Art directors are supposed to catch that.

Also something that drives me nuts in production is how many people don't realize the difference in terms between a Cinematographer and a Director of Photography. Cinematography is what you do as a career. Director of Photography is your job title ON THAT PRODUCTION. You can be a Cinematographer who ends up slumming it and working as a PA for a bit. Cinematographer is what you call yourself. Director of Photography is what you're listed as on the call sheet.

This is the kind of thing that so many overlook and this series is an amazing way to give absolutely due credit to hardworking crews everywhere! Even those working inside the industry can overlook the work their counterparts are doing or even discount the importance of the role given to themselves. Good on you Tom, as I am positive the sheer amount of time you put into making sure you can give credit to those you've worked with in and of itself is a huge undertaking, it shows you highly value those who you worked with.

Graffer?

first last week, then last month, then the complete history of me, then content and now Thanksday. are you closing the channel or something?

I cannot see people complaining about matt amys 🤣

12:00 im sorry, Will Smith?

I'm just gonna assume Tom Scott was offscreen pointing a gun at Tom when he was talking about the subtitles

First thing that came to mind here, too 😆

Justice for will McDaniel

4:32 "he directed a *HOLE* bunch of videos"? Ill see myself out

I mean... you tried :D ( 🧡 )

Confirmed, Tom is not allowed to go to Tesco’s on his own.

i have a sneaky suspicion the daniel smith he speaks of is my ex

is tom quitting youtube? this vid feels like it. this year couldnt get any worse. fuck 2020 man.

Imagine if he pulled an unus annus and deleted all of the contents

...will smith? Who knows.

HOLY CRAP THAT ANIME INTRO FOR ASDF MOVEI 12 IS SO FRICKEN GOOD

We need to dig up Einstein to show him what real genius looks like

....what?

Oh man Cat attack what a throwback! I really liked that game

Gud videuo

He should be sponsored by Ridgewallet

I just love his sketches "can i come in" lol and the hole ofcourse thats the best of all "that was my fafirite mug, now its in the hole" watched it 1000 times i love all of your videos i cant say anything about any of your videos ur the best

BRING #CONTENT BACK!!!! I love and miss it :(

When a show gets made through kickstarter, sometimes top tier donators get executive producer credits.

What the fuck is thanks day?

I couldn't disagree more with the definition of the the 1st AD as near loathed. They are the most important person on a film set that the public don't really know about. Yes they crack the whip but I would gladly buy a drink at the end of the day for the 1st who gets us to wrap on time and doesn't pick on depts as scapegoats. A good 1st AD is worth their weight in gold there are far too many bad ones though who are good within the production office but can't handle the set with any dignity. Source: I've been a Soundman in film & TV for 20 years and just want to shout some love for my 1st AD bros and sisters.

Tom should make an actual film

Will Smith was your RUNNER ?!!!

Thank you for crediting everyone you could.

If I had a nickel for every British YouTuber named Tom who has talked about subtitles this past week, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it has happened twice

Wait u had some part with dont hug im scared, yeesh u really do get around

You

Lookin sharp tom

This is amazing. People should do more things like this, giving other people the credit they deserve instead of hogging all the credit because their face is on the video/film. Great job Tom. You're awesome and you need to know that!

Respecting the people who do it all that gains my respect

Is the Will Smith extra just someone with a coincidental name, or has Will Smith been secretly hiding in one of your videos?

I'm normally strictly anti-denim, but damn if you don't look nice in that jacket

I know it's completely out of scope for the point of the video, but something that rings in the back of my mind as I watch this is how, really, the revenue splits. There is an entire "business management" concept that isn't seen here that makes a lot of hard financial choices of how to slice the pie, and there is a *LOT* of slices of pie here... and in my head I just have no clue how anyone can afford to eat lol

well done!

Wait. Tom's not an animator? When did this lie start?

look at how beautiful my mans is damn

Wait, Will Smith was one of your gophers?
