When a lighting guy gives you a comedy idea, many people would tell him to keep to lighting and leave the comedy to the comedians. Cranston's point is that by not using a stereotype filter to ignore the lighting guy he ended up with a better scene.
He doesn't have to seek out advice from the lighting guy, he just has to be in a culture where the lighting guy feels comfortable sharing if he happens to have a good idea.

- daveFNbuck 9y agoThere was an extremely easy polite way to apply the filter. Just don't use the idea because it came from a lighting guy.
- jstimpfle 9y agoThat's not "applying a filter", though. The time listening is already spent. (But yeah, if it isn't immediately clear that it's a good idea, I'm sure there is less incentive for a comedian to invest the time to try and understand it).
