Since we're not "real" film people...
We've developed our own film terms around here. We know that somewhere on the internet there are terms for all the things listed below, but we haven't the time to look them up. Oddly, we DID take the time to write ours down over a cold one.
AutoRestoMod filming terms:
Beekering – when your speaking voice soars four octaves higher than normal. Side effect of meeting Chip Foose. Meep.
“Change the angle of your dangle.” – tilt the camera.
C-Roll – random shots…usually produced when Gina accidentally turns the camera on and then moves around the shop. What we’re actually trying for is B-roll!
Dick Doofus – previous owners of the car in question. Utilized when something particularly stupid that was done to the car in the past pops up proving that the trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right. And yes we have all been Dick Doofus...
Dookie, DooCoo, (see also Pooh) - Anything we can't remember the proper name of.
Fat Kid (The) – Jeff’s brown tool bag. Used to hold the camera rolling base steady when the camera is leaning out at a dangerous angle.
Fro Mic - Carra’s voiceover mike.
Flashy Thingy (the) - Since Gina is tired of clapping her hands (and thereby turning off the shop lights) she bought a camera flash to use instead.
Iggy Noray Moose - A far more dangerous (at least to automobiles) man-type than even the vaunted Dick Doofus. Where Dick Doofus will make a mistake, Iggy will create an automotive cataclysm of near biblical proportions. We found some of Iggys work on a '65 Mustang hardtop.
Mouse – the remote for the main camera. Belongs exclusively to Gina.
The Other Thing or Mouse II - remote to the new JVC camera. Also exclusively Gina's.
Jiblet - The small jib crane we purchased...then spent more and more money on.
On Time – means--well, not much around here.
Pooh - See Dookie
Rolly thingy – the camera dolley (rolling base).
Talking Head – shots of the presenter saying what they are going to do and how they are going to do it...usually without actually doing anything.
Whompyjaw – Screwed up.
Beekering – when your speaking voice soars four octaves higher than normal. Side effect of meeting Chip Foose. Meep.
“Change the angle of your dangle.” – tilt the camera.
