Isso é um bebê real?

13

Muitos shows hoje em dia têm cenas de nascimento com bebês recém-nascidos logo após. Parece muito louco, arriscado e pouco confiável para mim usar um recém-nascido de verdade. Então, o que mostra usar para cenas com que lidam com recém-nascidos? IE esta cena no episódio 10 de Grace e Frankie:

Esta pergunta foi feita em MetaFilter , e as principais referências de resposta a Artigo sobre o fio mental . Isso faz referência à Lei do Trabalho Infantil da Califórnia, que permite que um recém-nascido (com relativa idade) de 15 dias seja "empregado na indústria do entretenimento".

Mais sobre o uso de bebês em filmes, da Mental Floss:

Some star-struck parents of prematurely born twins are able to cash in on their early-bird babies by allowing them to appear in TV shows or films as a newborn. Unless it's a reality medical series, most childbirth scenes in television and films are make-believe. Child labor laws vary from state to state, but in California, where the majority of those productions are made, a baby has to be at least 15 days old in order to get a work permit. Of course, most full-term babies have lost that "newborn" look after two weeks "“ their eyes are wide open, they've gained some weight, and their heads have begun to round out. So casting directors seek out "professional preemies" "“ babies born before their scheduled due date (twins preferred, in order to skirt around that 20-minutes-max camera time rule) but who are healthy enough to be brought to the studio. The law counts the actual date of birth, not the expected date, so, for example, a baby born after only seven months' gestation is still going to look tiny and fragile and appropriately "newborn" at the age of fifteen days. The law forbids smearing makeup on newborns, so cream cheese and jam are used to give them that authentic "fresh out of the uterus" look.

Então, baby? Pode ser real! Apenas mais de duas semanas de idade e coberto de condimentos de café da manhã.

Um repórter do Guardian investigou esta .

Você não pode usar recém-nascidos porque os atores precisam ser membros do SAG, e você só pode se tornar um membro se tiver 15 dias de idade.

“Our initial intention with Knocked Up was to film a live birth, but we found out we couldn’t because the baby, by virtue of not being born yet, couldn’t be a member of SAG. So we created a fake lower body of a woman with a head that came out to simulate crowning. There are a lot of regulations.”

Os bebês também só podem ser usados por um curto período de tempo:

Per usual, my questions are more macabre than their answers. Infant actors are well-protected; they can only work four hours per day; they can only shoot for 20 minutes of those hours.

“So you have four infants, approximately the same age, same hair color, look enough alike that they can double each other,” said Chris Riddle, an assistant director for film and television. “You use one baby for the first 20 minutes, a second baby for the next 20, etc. And if you’re doing a shot where the baby isn’t the focal point, or maybe it’s just in a crib in the background, you use a doll.”

O que resulta disso:

Jane Rogers explained to me that the reason casting agents go after twins or triplets isn’t just to get lookalikes for the same character (thus making the most of each newborn’s mandated 20 work minutes), but also because multiples are typically born premature. Soliciting premature babies, in other words, is a way to cast for age zero while sticking to SAG’s 15-day-old age requirement.

O dinheiro que esses bebês ganham não está necessariamente indo para os pais:

“In California, with all under-18 actors you have to set up a Coogin Trust [a blocked trust account]. Any money that my daughter makes goes into that, and she gets it when she’s 18.”

A gosma dos "recém-nascidos" é variada de set para set:

“I want to know about the cheeselike varnish,” I said.

High fructose corn syrup,” he said. “The same sort of stuff we would use for blood if someone got shot.”

I relayed the question to my other sources and found that the substance varies set-to-set.

Jane Rogers, who does background casting for shows like Man Seeking Woman and often works with children, took time to emphasize the integrity of her goo. The goo is edible and gluten free – it is very LA. “We make sure that the goop they’re covered in is organic, water soluble, non-toxic, la-la-la.”

“We put grape jelly and cream cheese on children for birthing scenes,” Knocked Up’s producer Evan Goldberg said. “It’s weird.”

Você acertou, eles estão usando falso na maioria dos casos devido a restrições legais. Mas algumas vezes eles pegaram o quadro de cenas de filmes antigos ou vídeos da internet, fazendo modificações de acordo com suas exigências.

Também às vezes, por pouco dinheiro, os pais permitem que a câmera filma a cena e as pessoas usam máscara para esse quadro. Como não havia efeitos sonoros para aquele quadro, ele pode ser usado diretamente.
