During a shot or a rehearsal (I can’t remember) I called out “boom” when the mic dipped into frame, only to have my dolly grip suddenly boom the dolly arm up, practically grinding my head into the low ceiling… On another show, I had the camera armed out over a pool table, and the dolly grip (not looking as he was trying to move the dolly) boomed the camera down into the expensive tabletop and crushed the assistant’s front box (which the production tried to refuse to replace). Ahh, the joys of low budget film making…
