Anyone know why calls for people with cars would specify "No red, white or black please"? I've seen a few with this requirement.

love is how's life tonight (how's life), Saturday, 2 August 2014 15:01 (nine years ago) link

Because the cars need to blend into the background of a scene, and if there's a red car there the audience might stare at it and be distracted. Or the lead's car(s) is/are gonna be one of those three colors and they don't want people getting confused.

Yeah, I noticed that it requested a specific size trouser from the men, because "hey, you might not know maybe they'll need a guy with a 36 waist..." but it goes unsaid that the women would have to be ridiculously skinny to even think about it.

how's life, Saturday, 13 June 2015 18:28 (eight years ago) link

it's because they already have the wardrobe pulled and don't have the time/interest to pick out something in a different size. but know that when they pull that wardrobe, they're doing their part to perpetuate a very conservative, risk averse system!!
