actually stand ins do appear in final cuts in movies, dramas etc
How am I being superior when my first sentence in my reply to you is "I can only go by my experience"? And if you, too, work in this business it would be great if you told us where and how. I’d be interested. As for Hollywood where I grew up, nearly all movie-making terms and positions were created here as far back as in the silent film days. So if you know something different tell me. If you use, say, the term "gaffer" as anything other than a set electrician it’s on you to explain why not me. I wouldn’t know, same as stand-in. If you know something about the world-wide use of that term other than what I and Wikipedia and any other film dictionary say it must be up to you to tell us where and how it is used not just get upset and become personal about it.
What is it with Thai Boys and water? A little rain: fever. Water in your face as a prank: fever. Both in the same chapter by the two main couples. And both acted by all 4 as the cliche they all obviously knew it has become. Dropping out. No chemistry here.

I can only go by my experience . I’ve been in the business since I was 9. Both my parents are well-known Hollywood actors so I grew up in the business but you don’t have to believe me so .heres wikipedia
"A stand-in, sometimes a lighting double, for film and television is a person who substitutes for the actor before filming, for technical purposes such as lighting and camera setup. Stand-ins are helpful in the initial processes of film and television production."
But do go on. Knowledge of the film business by actually working in it is rarely appreciated in these kind of forums where everyone thinks they know everything.
So far so good. Interesting for an American professional to see a bit of how filming in Thailand works. Not so different really from what we’re used to in Hollywood. One thing is very different and that even goes to the title. They seem to use the terms ‘stunt’ and ‘stand-in’ interchangeable. Joe is a stuntman clearly and I suppose he’s standing in for Tong even in scenes that don’t demand actual stunt work. But to me a stand in doesn’t actually appear in the footage but is there to stand-in for the performers for lighting and camera blocking purposes. Still and all it is a promising series with, to me, one misfire. Joe is so almost blindingly gorgeous and Ming isn’t. Perhaps they should have switched roles?
Because where’d you find anyone as gorgeous as he is? You might as well not even try.
I actually agree. Thought of that after I sent my post. But I always consider cultural differences. Perhaps Ming appears hot to Thai viewers. When Joe comments that Ming looks better in his t than he does I went like huh? No way José.
I’m really trying because I find Tor so good at playing a femboy. But the story is a drag so far. I’m in chapter 4 but I kind of have to force myself to continue. Is the series even worth that?
Cause he actually gay, some Directors in Thai don’t want a guy person in their bl dramas (sadly)
Correction: they don’t want an "out" gay actor. Not for the reason you read often around here which is bollocks but because one of the main sponsors of Thai series is Nestlè whose CEO is a giant homophobe. Plus a misconception borne by agents who are afraid of their percentage.
