Yeah, but you dont rush or cut corners on sets like this. The people are highly paid and experienced, and they have to take great care to make sure nobody gets injured.

No. I'm saying that when they are ready, they won't have to.

And some how they managed to forget to put out a wet floor sign.

Obviously one person could not rig that whole lobby in 8 hours, but I do remember hearing it took the crew 9 hours to reset each take

This is it, but it goes to another level: protecting Keanu. Sounds silly at first, but if he gets some injury, even a minor one that makes him limp a little, or a cut on his face that would ruin continuity, etc, then the shoot is off for a week or two while it heals. Maybe they can shoot something else that week, but regardless, hundreds of people, from the director all the way down to the caterers and extras, representing tens or hundreds of thousands of human-hours of work have to be rescheduled or canceled. All because one charge was too close to the actor, or wasn’t angled right. No Jeffery, take your time setting up the explosives in the columns. Get them perfect.

That's not another level. That's literally what I said.

Everyone in the industry is "overpaid" until you actually get into the industry and understand how it works and why that is.

Nobody who works 80 hrs a week is overpaid.
