40mm
Alfred's Eye of Glass
As fragile as it may be.
If captured in it,
you will have seconds on the screen.
The master himself,
said the Eye sees life true.
But as a background artist, your lucky if it sees you.
On a bell!
Rolling!
Background!
Action!
Mouthing
Peas and Carrots
Asparagus and Rutabaga.
All without audience reaction.
Shuffle some props,
give a smile of two.
Don't break continuity or an A.D. will get you.
After a 15 hour day,
your ready for the Martini shot.
Anticipating the words,
Cut!
Print!
Check the Gate!
That's when everyone hauls ass out.
