bagpuss_24 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Anyone else thinking "Arf" ? If I had 1p for everytime someone mentioned some porn film related joke - I'd have retired a long time ago. ;-) Secondly - that side of the buisiness isn't regarded as the "Film Industry"- and if you ended up working on anything like that, you'd be kicked out of your respective union- and then never work again. Yep - the Film (and TV) industry is very old fashioned - and still operate on Union Rules introduced in the 1960s. You can't touch anything with wiring - unless you are an electrician, anything that's a prop (movable by an actor) has to be done by an Equity Member and so forth. To clarify, I work as a Visual Effects Engineer. Basically building electronic bits, panels, controllers, radio control, detonators- pretty much anything you can't get off the shelf. I have worked on Dr Who, Starwars (new ones) - currently involved in new one, Harry Potter (all of them), Minder (new series), and a couple of the more recent "Bond" films. I saw tons of old very old "AFA" panels when I worked for Thorn in the 90s- all working - and a couple protecting High Security Installations too. The only bug bear was the flag batteries that were dotted everywhere- and seemed to fail on a Sunday afternoon while I was on call. I knew of a couple still in operation about 2 years back - though expect the've been ripped out now. My question on the old alarm panels further up, was just to see if anyone had any old kit they were dumping and had ripped out as I will be starting work on some project set in the early 60s. I May end up raiding the local army suplus stores for kit with bakelite knobs on and building something that looks the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHappy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 If I had 1p for everytime someone mentioned some porn film related joke Arf must have left "pornstar" off his CV, World beating alarm eng & before that trainee mechanic IIRC ?

norman Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I did a site visit earlier this year to a well known porn studio, I have some pics somewhere of some well known sets, when I say well known I mean well known to those who are interested in that sort of thing, not me.
