Well, let's talk about children on set. 

some grin, some drop everything and run the opposite way!  LOL

Working with babies is a hassle. You never know how they woke up that morning. Are they going to cooperate? Everything, is set- lights, camera, angles, props, and baby needs a diaper change.. NOOOO!!  :))

This set was well prepared. A real baby was used when necessary and a prop baby when needed. Beautiful organization! Great pre-production attention to details! Bravo!

 This guy looks like the mafia. Well, he is the Script Supervisor for the film. He could be considered the "mafia".  He carefully oversees the dialogue, what the director says after each take, and the DP- taking notes the entire time. A tough job and yet, a coveted one, in the film industry.
