There are a whooole lot of rednecks working at these places. The front offices/creative crowd are usually the rainbow haired and mask wearing folks. But the ones out doing all the heavy lifting drive a truck and have beer guts.

The Tyler studios are cool. But the purpose built Trilith facility in Fayetville is prob the most impressive one I have been to. The Marvel studio in Doraville on the old GM site is something else as well.
Trilith Studios
The future of filmmaking and content producing where the world’s best talent live and work side by side.

I was contacted my the agent for actress a while back, in regards to giving her some training on revolvers and AR’s for an upcoming role.
I was a technical consultant on another movie that filmed in GA. I was never on the set, just did what I did via telephone and email. They wanted me to supply some firearms as well, but I didn’t. Turns out that it got me an IMDB page for my name, which I didn’t know for several years afterwards.
I’ve been requested to conduct firearms and tactics training for the Screen Actors Guild in ATL, and I will probably do some of that. Easy money, and most of it is not live fire.

Well there's that I suppose. I work for an overhead crane service company. Several years back my boss operated the crane in one of the Fast and Furious movies that involved hoisting around a few very expensive cars in a warehouse scene.
In my world they call them armourers. And the who, what, when, where, why, and how is all based on the budget and who you know. For instance, I worked one show where the armourer was two guys doing their deal out of the back of his little hatch back. In contrast, the guys on the tomorrow war rolled deep with two 53' trailers filled with you name it, they have it; and that's not an exaggeration. 1/3 of one of those trailers was a full custom shop where they could do about whatever. And these guys were awesome. They were also from California. Gun guys from California.

I’ve been on the lot at Pinewood (now Trilith) when they were flying helicopters over head strafing the ground and tons of pyrotechnics going off. Squibs in the dirt and on the actors too. It’s pretty impressive stuff. Something like 7 billion dollar boon to the Georgia economy a few years back. It truly is a double edged sword. I know many that have come here from California. They freak out over the rain, trees, and “low housing prices”. They buy here and vote like they did back home. “Hey! This place is great! Let’s change everything and **** it up!” Not all of them. The construction guys usually have their heads screwed on straight.
You might not. I know quite a few folks who build the sets, many of them buy materials from my work, many of them are just regular good ol boys. There are more folks impacted by the film industry than you think.
Why would any movie production company these days need a gun that fires blanks-- why don't they just have the actor point the gun and say "bang, bang" like a six-year-old playing "cops and robbers" in the backyard,
and then let the CGI special effects team put in the muzzle flash and add ejected shell casings flying out the side of the gun?
(But since nobody tells the CGI fakers to fake some recoil or muzzle climb, they never do.)
