Visible crew/equipment: Caroline returns home after her first day at the ad agency. Just as she calls out, "Where is everybody?," the shadow of the boom mic moves across the wall, at the top left side of the screen, and simultaneously we can see the tip of the moving boom mic near the top of the foyer mirror.
