Early in the pre-production stages of a movie, the UPM was meeting with the DP, Crowd Promotions Supervisor (CPS), Extras Casting Director (ECD), Prop Master (PM), and Set Decorator (SD) in the stadium where several scenes take place. Let’s listen in, shall we? DP: So we will need around 3000 extras both weeks we are there. CPS: Look, I can just about fill the place for our two promo dates, but that’s about all I can do. ECD: I cannot afford nor do I have the manpower to control those kinds of numbers. Hey, Why don’t I get a hundred or so, and we use those “flat people” for the rest. PM: Wait a minute, that always falls on our shoulder’s when they are actually set dressing. SD: Hey, its the crowd, therfore, extras. ECD: Look, I’ll find them if Props order’s them. PM: I’ll order them if Set Dressing sets them up. SD: We will set them up if production handles the shipping. UPM: O.K. I see where this is going. Look, I will call mr flat people, and all of these issues will be solved. Let’s move on to more important problems………
