Dumb. Having reported on police in my first career, I can assure everyone that the average cop is no more a totem of gun safety than a trained film armorer. The real issue here is that whoever is responsible is empowered and heeded and already existing protocols are followed.https://twitter.com/DEADLINE/status/1457785208325898245 …
Secondarily, producers should at this point give serious consideration to eschewing working weapons and blank rounds in most of the work. CGI technology is at a point when muzzle flashes and cordite smoke can be replicated in post-production processes.
I mean, they seem like they'd be actively worse than a trained film armeror. This is an amazingly bad idea.
Never take for granted that a weapon is safe just bc the person handing it to you says so. Such a tragedy.
Performers are supposed to respect the opinion of the trained, professional armorer. And the UNIONS have great standards in place, but of course the union crew had been chased off the set.
Huh… what would be his motive for sucking up to police, especially those investigating this incident?
As an actor, he is not at fault. I understand his angst at what happened, but this is a solution that doesn’t go to the heart of the issue.
There was a gun store on Joppa Road that used to rent guns for student productions, but they got shut down right before I needed their services because they also rented guns for a third of the homicides in Baltimore in a single year. Just thought that was a fun one.
did they not keep track of who rented the guns linked to homicides? seems it would be easy to track down the suspects
There should be two sets of eyes on every gun is the solution. One armorer, one armorer checker. Then you'd cut down the accidents by an order of magnitude. Plus, the checker should follow an agreed upon checklist like aircraft maintenance does.
In reality…that is what happens. Armorour to AD is the process before it’s handed to cast. It happens every day on every set all over the world safely except apparently here when both positions grossly failed at the job.
