Premium Members Robert Starling SOC Posted March 3, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 According to my friend who was the A1 on the show they used a full size banner integrated with the rest of the memorials during the rehearsals. I guess for some reason they scaled it back but at least they did something to show some respect for her. Thank you for posting this.

Premium Members Brant S. Fagan SOC Posted March 3, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Like the rest of our global family of filmmakers, I mourn the loss of life tragically taken from us all without reason other than greed combined with ignorance for the true value of human life, whether Above- or Below the Line, of which there is no distinction from my reference point. Let's remember that fear and physics was what got all these folks in trouble, seven hurt, one airlifted out, and one killed. Too bad that, despite the years of experience, fear of reprisal kept folks quiet and allowed them to make a series of bad choices that led to the unfolding tragedy; this is the same methodology that causes most aircraft accidents, i.e. it's not one thing that brings down the house of cards but rather a series of several mistakes which lead to irreversible disaster. So, instead of finger pointing, let's raise our hands as one Camera Department and Never Forget that safety starts with the raising of a hand and voice to say 'No.' Enough is enough. We can save lives by working together, safely! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Rob Vuona SOC Posted March 4, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yesterday, while at the Oscars the Special Effects team from gravity walked by and I asked them if their Black ribbon on their lapel was for Sarah and they all said yes it was, They are all very cool guys and I thanked them for representing. I agree with Brant , lets not let something like this happen again, ask the questions, don't be afraid to say No when you know things are not safe.

Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted March 5, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 This interesting fact from a Facebook post, re-posted by our colleague Dave Chameides. Written by Tom Del Ruth, ASC: The ribbons that many of you refer to ( Black with intermittent white stitching) were worn exclusively by members of Gravity's VFX, editorial , sound editing, were in commemoration of a VFX team member that passed away a week before.. It had nothing to do with Miss Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted March 7, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi Rob, Totally agreed- and I believe you of course. Wonder why Tom provided that reply. Wondering if he misunderstood the VFX Team's reply, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
