Actor: Line?!

Look! I just dug up this one from March 2019, celebrating Fresh Off The Boat!

I script supervised 2 episodes while Kristin Rapinchuk (the show’s primary script supervisor) prepped & directed her episode

It’s so fun, and such an honor, to script supervise for another script supervisor that is now in the director’s seat.

Script supervisors & Production Coordinators

Big milestone - This year will mark 10 years since I’ve started script supervising.

Now it’s time to elevate our craft more by learning negotiating skills and educating others about the value of what we do.  The workload is bigger nowadays and there are many days it would benefit us to have more than one script supervisor on set.  That’d be great right? Here’s a way to get there: 

On the call sheet, request that you get your own category.  We are not a part of production; our category is Continuity. 

Also we are not a department of one; we are a Department Head. We have 2nd units, stunt units, aerial units, splinter units...  So request that your job title on every call sheet is Key Script Supervisor 

Next get comfortable negotiating for additional script supervisors.  This can be introduced during the interview and brought up when the shooting schedule comes out. If there is a ballroom scene for example, or 4 cameras, act like a Department Head and say “That’s a big scene and a lot of cameras, I’m gonna need additional script supervisors those days” 

This additional script supervisor will be on the callsheet in the Continuity section, right under your name.  And it will seem like it’s always meant to be that way.
