    Christain Bale goes nuts on set

    I heard about this on TV, and here's the full audio clip. Quite a character

    Edit: A lights man walked onto the set during a scene and Christian Bale goes ballistic on him.

    Is it just me or does he just sound British?

    Yeah. However I tend to hear that kind of freak out from British people often. I doubt he'll be that mad in a day or two.

    That's how it's always worked with my British co-worker anyways.

    this guy was adjusting lights during a scene. He did it a few times before, and had been told not to that. Once the lights are set, you don't touch them during filming. Frankly, I can understand going off on the guy. You don't interrupt a scene, especially an intense one.

    Why is this even news?
    It only ends once... Anything that happens before that is just progress.

    Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

    The DP's job is to adjust the lighting so that the Director can bring his vision to the screen. The Director of Photography is one of the most important persons on set. Lighting is taken for granted by most people, but is one of the hardest things to do right. Generally, most of the lights are set before the actor starts their lines or are even on the set. But sometimes the lights need to be adjusted due to the movement of the actor or how the light are playing on the actor(s) or the background. How would a very intense scene look, when you are supposed to clearly see the actors eyes, if all you can see is his nose or one side of his face? It will look like crap and not deliver what the director has envisioned.

    I don't know what led up to this, but usually actors act, directors direct, and dp's make it so that the viewer can see it the way it supposed to seen. All the people working the set are not supposed to interfere with the actors, but most actors understand that everyone is working to make them look as good as possible. This guy is supposed to be a good Dp and was probably just doing his job, but shooting days can run really long and tempers and egos can wreak havok on set.
