Abby Singer

The term Abby Singer is used on film sets and it means the second to last shot of the day.  This term is named after an actual person, Abby Singer, who was a production manager in the industry.

His name became the term because he would frequently say on set “Last shot of the day” only to have his director later on ask for one last shot.

Check out his imdb page here.

So next time you are on set and it is the second to last shot of the day call out that it is the Abby Singer shot.
