Hey Zach, FANTASTIC Blog! Your series should be mandatory reading for all Film Students! Especially loved the 1st Point! LOL!
On my first Feature (Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars) Roger showed up on the stage and was pissed... because he felt were taking too long to get a shot (even though we were about an hour ahead of schedule for the day).
Insisting that a Bkg Flat for the inside of one of the Space Ships looked fine (even though it was in the midst of being "sprayed down" by the Scenic with a House Painter's "airless sprayer" and was soaking wet), he ordered us to grab it and move it from one end of the stage to the other.
In the process of carrying this 8x12 flat around in the dark, I stepped in a Painter's Tray filled with silver paint (HA!) and ruined a new pair of shoes & jeans. Ever since, I always bring two pair of shoes & socks to set or location... and for the sake of comfort, switch over during lunch.
Expendable Shoes....
