I'd love to hear everybody's pet peeves in movie and TV production. (sh.itjust.works)

Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

Oh, don't get me started on tech sounds. lol.

Every once in a while, even in modern productions, you still see a printer on screen, either ink jet or laser, and the sound department gives them the old, dot-matrix "bzzzzzzzzt bzzzzzztt" sound. I may laugh when I hear it, but I do die inside a little.

Oh constantly.

Here's, the buzzing or chunking is instantly a " Oh, okay, a 70-year-old wrote this movie" vibe.
