A Disturbing Suspicion.

I’ve always wondered how they get shots of babies crying in films and TV dramas. Do they employ somebody to stick pins in it? Or set off loud fireworks in close proximity to its ear? Or maybe somebody jumps up and down wearing a werewolf mask.

My best guess is that they set up a camera and then leave the poor kid alone until it gets so bored or anxious or hungry that the inevitable happens and everybody breathes a sigh of relief. I suppose that’s the kindest option, but it doesn’t ease my sense of disquiet very much.
