8 Surprising Jobs That Keep Film Sets Running | Movies Insider

A lot of unseen work happens to make every movie come to life. At Pixar, tailoring and simulation artists animate clothing, which is key to making characters in movies like "Coco" and "Onward" feel real. Food stylists make sure all the real food in a given scene stays fresh, while other artists make fake food when working with the real item would be too difficult. Bug wranglers work on movies like "Spider-Man" and "Arachnophobia," manipulating light, air, and room temperature so insects will put on their best possible performance. And if you've ever seen a baby cry on screen, chances are a baby wrangler was standing behind the camera making sure that happened.

[@joshjones]

ISH ISH While I love those movies, they are still largely cartoony, and not realistic. that’s a photo-realistic spider (well, because it is real) and none of those movies are photo real. They are impressive, but we were waaay far from creating anything that good in 2002. Like the reason why they even made toy story about toys was because they’re easy to light, with them usually being just shiny props, unlike humans which are super complicated to make even now

[@lydiapoe3123]

Nope, doesn't hurt a bit. I've worn contacts for over 5 years, and it isn't painful nor harms your eye :)

[@amarabeatrice6693]

In my experience, if you put the contacts the wrong way, switch your left/right contacts or if your contacts are dirty, it will sting, but if you do it correctly, it's alright.

[@charlynncain1443]

I have worn them since i was 11 so 18 years. At first it is weird and you have to get used to them. Now i can put them in or take them out no problem. Only thing I had to get used to years ago were monthly contacts that are much thicker. Your eyes dry out a bit more with them i noticed but i prefer monthly to weekly because they help shield my eyes a bit from onion vapors. I react badly from that and being a cook for 10 years i like the little immunity.

[@ashavila7999]

It's important that if you don't actually need contacts the ones you are buying are fitted for your eye. Ill fitted contacts can cause permanent eye damage. Go to an eye doctor.

Artist don't get the recognition they deserve. They work so hard, and are disregarded in society. Like ppl who play in movies, and artist who sing. They do the lease amount of work in projects, get paid more and those are the only ppl that get recognized for their work. But their are so many other ppl who are working with them that support their status up. And the work they do, don't need other ppl to complete the puzzle to have finish a project. U won't even believe how much ppl bash artist saying what they do is useless and trash, but beg for them to do the work for them that they said was useless and trash but always expect their work to come for free. No matter what artist you are you deserve the respect and recognition you worked hard for.
