Emma C Thomas
I have worked in the Film & TV industry for over three decades; on over fifty five productions starting as a Clerk typist in the Elstree office of The Muppet Show to covering 2nd Unit/Splinter Units on films such as Star Wars, Tenet and Mrs Harris Goes To Paris. The role of a Script Supervisor/Continuity requires a high level of concentration, stamina and an eye for detail. Sometimes we are known as the "eyes and ears of the director" on set. Our skills are often required at times when we are at our lowest ebb and it's the last hour of the day or night shoot. Even with all the courses available it isn't a job you can learn from a manual. Learning 'on the job' is essential because each project is different and requires a number of different personal skills. I have been a Women In Film and Television (WFTV) member for twenty years, and a former Volunteer Board member. For the past ten years - I have been the WFTV Jury Chair for the Panalux Craft Award/Pinewood MBS Craft Award/MBSE Craft Award category. On Sunday 28th April 2019 I was honored with the British Academy Television Craft Special Award (BAFTA) in recognition of my contribution to the industry through my role as a Script Supervisor/Continuity but also for my efforts to mentor and support the next generation of talent.
