…for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers photo prompt.

“It’s a wrap”, shouted the director. He flopped into his chair and smiled. At last, it was finally in the can.
Eighteen takes. Everything that could have gone wrong had gone wrong!
Actors kept tripping on the cobbles, the horse stopped twice for a ‘dump’, several people walked from their doors despite agreeing to remain inside during filming, a gust of wind blew his script away, the heroine repeatedly got her tongue in a twist…one thing after another.
Then he noticed it.
“Oh no, who left that bloody car there?” he yelled!
“I believe you did, boss”, said a cameraman.

Prod a Froggie to visit the squares!

Great story, Keith. Somedays things do seem to go amiss. I love the photo with the old cobble stones but looks like a pretty steep incline there!

Hahaha! Don’t you just love seeing the bloopers from movie clips? They can be more entertaining that the actual movie! Fun take, Keith!

I do! Even when watching the TV I’m constantly on the look out for misplaced objects!

Yes! I do the same. There’s one afternoon soap opera which Bill and I started recording to watch during dinner while I recuperated from surgery. The mistake I see most often is changing hairstyles … even during the course of a single scene! Really, how difficult can that be to get right? At least the characters’ clothing remains unchanged!

Frustration is his unsaid name. Why are all the actors carrying iPhones- did he see that one?

You should have seen the lengths I went to in order to leave the scaffolding out of the pic – so much so I overlooked the car! Good take, Keith.

Well spotted! I didn’t notice the car initially. Never work with children or animals, locals or busy bodies, directors or producers, etc. Good stuff as per

Dear Keith,
Loved “got her tongue in a twist.” Guess he’ll have to do another take. Fun.

This is too funny. In the age of CGI etc. this shouldn’t be too big of a problem though. Or leave the car, it gives attentive watchers something to laugh about. People love movie bloopers.

Kudos to the cameraman. I think I would have just looked bewildered and looked around to avoid saying anything. Now I’m hope the next story wipes the image of the horses out of my mind!
