I’ll start as an example: in the song Mr. Brightside by the Killers, the word “swimming” in “swimming through sick lullabies” is pronounced with a ‘t’ at the start like in “tsunami”. It’s “tswimming through sick lullabies”.

      In one of the latest fast and furious movies, they go to Japan (or maybe Korea?) And theybfake eat a whole scene. Just utensils in food. No one even tries to move the food to their mouth.

        As I understand, the F&F movies tend to have more takes than is typical due to the sheer volume of actors that often need to be covered. It’s quite common for scenes to require a dozen or more takes. If you put food in your mouth at any point during a shot, you’re doing it for every shot.

        My wife was watching Mom the other day and one of the actresses was working her way through pasta or something like that while they were taking and I noticed they’d very skillfully shot around her taking bites so she probably only had to take two or three to get the coverage they needed.

        most actors will have a spit bucket for when they do chew food, they typically dont actually eat they just chew it into a curd and then spit it out between takes. its gross and you can start to notice them tucking the bolus into their cheeks before their lines

      Yes! I’m always scrutinizing this, and most actors do not fake it very well.

      Also for a lot of outdoor scenes, at least in soap operas, the actors keep an ice cube in their mouth so that you can’t see their breath when it’s cold.

      I noticed this same thing with what was supposed to be an old timey spotlight where it’s almost all battery. Actor was swinging it about like it weighed nothing.

        Prior to LED torches, the flashlights on films were turned off, and the light was painted in later, as the beam wouldn’t show up on film anyway. This is doubly true in that night scenes were filmed during the day and they just filmed through a grey filter.
