Things said at work

  1. Can you spread your legs for me?
  2. Who wants to stick it to the wall?
  3. The director said, “Don’t stop! I can stick anything I want in your mouth.”
  4. Nice! Great handjob.
  5. Do you think it might be better if he killed his wife?
  6. I’d give you a ride, but the car is full of bear.
  7. Let me just slip inside and I’ll show you how to do him
  8. I spent today boning the bear.
  9. His head isn’t getting hard.
  10. Next up, the pelvis.

What it all means.

  1. I couldn’t see a monitor, and asked the puppeteer standing next to me to widen their stance so I could look through their legs to the monitor on the floor in front of them.
  2. There was a prop that needed to be attached to the wall. Why does it sound so dirty?
  3. A puppeteer flubbed a line in an otherwise perfect take and stopped. The director wanted the puppeteer to continue, and he would just fix it in ADR.
  4. A puppeteer did a beautifully complicated pass, combined with acting. What else can you say?
  5. Talking with another writer about a plot.
  6. I’m building a giant polar bear. The parts were in my car.
  7. I was demonstrating a body puppet
  8. I was installing dressmaker’s steel boning into the underskeleton of a bear costume.
  9. I was making a fiberglass head and misjudged the amount of hardener to put into the resin.
  10. Said while discussing the to-do list on the polar bear I’m constructing.
