Safaran Qureshi Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I usually cut out actor names on call sheets and stick them on the camera just with paper tape... it doesn't always hold very well throughout the day, also doesn't really look the cleanest. Wondering how you do this properly? thanks! Edited September 2, 2022 by Safaran Qureshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safaran Qureshi Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Mark Dunn said: Why do you need to do it? In case a DP/operator needs to interact with an actor for whatever reason (to take a light reading or something) and they can't remember the names of the actors. Usually a trainee would be asked to cut out a piece of the call sheet with the actors names and stick it on the operators side of camera. Just wondering the best way to actually stick it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Quesnel Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Put the cut out into a plastic name tag holder, like the type you get at a convention or event, and velcro that onto the camera. Then you can just slide in the new cutout every morning and it provides a little more protection so it doesn't get all crumpled up. Something like this... https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Plastic-Horizontal-Badge-Holders/dp/B0993L7TMX/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=RITF17V41GH8&keywords=name%2Btag%2Bholder&qid=1662195265&sprefix=name%2Btag%2B%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-2-spons&th=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this idea. Also, can hold sides for the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Artists tape. Sticks well, comes off clean. Use it extensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
