knows his coffee, though.

This is my daily life. In fact, I just cleaned cat puke off my slippers (second time this month). Just soap and water should do it. It's nasty, but hardly toxic or permanent.

I appreciate that assessment, Rob! Once I started writing, it became indeed apparent to me that the absurdist ZAZ style was emerging from the depths of my psyche, but it really is a pastiche of many styles of comedy I grew up on. Indeed, it was interesting trying to lean into the story aspect in...

The last piece of the puzzle fell into place these last couple of weeks. I had a composer who created a beautiful orchestral score, in less than 2 weeks (with various rounds of notes from me, poor fella). I had laid in a full temp track of source music from '40's soundtracks, and it gave him a...

it's still up! See post #58.

Phedon Papamichael interview

That's part of the problem. Modern film stocks don't look like the classic stocks from 40 years ago. There's a recent article with Phedon Papamichael where he says as much, and part of why he's not particularly motivated to shoot film anymore (limitations of the slow ISO another part). I think...

Mmm well...there were plenty of other distractions back then like...cocaine, for one?! Quite a lot of drug use in that era. Things were looser on set than they are in these corporate times. I wouldn't put that much emphasis on the cell phone thing. It's not like the early to mid 2000's were...

One of my favorite cinematographers back in those days was Don Peterman. He didn't get much name recognition, but turned in a great body of work. "Flashdance" kind of came out of nowhere, and had a huge impact on both features and music videos particularly the club dance sequences. At a time...

Thanks Mark, that's one of my favorite lines too!

From rolling on the first setup to wrap less lunch was 8.5 hours. Crew was 15 strong, with four short-timers who helped for first few hours setting up the set dressing and props. We moved super fast, 1-2 takes and very little time between setups. Yes, the car work was done on another night...

No, all made in Photoshop, but I asked him to monkey with the kerning to give it that hand-set apperance.

I watched a bit of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid before making this, it's been so many years. Lots of great bits. It's interesting to see how the old footage was integrated, of course long before digital scans and workflows so matching the footage was purely photochemical, making it much harder. And...

If anyone is curious, here's a link to some of the docs from the shoot: shotlist, overheads and photo boards, master schedule for each setup, and my directions to the art team (as they had to dress the restaurant while we were shooting out back)...

I'm lifting the "embargo" for a couple of weeks here. Ha, so dramatic! Well, the festival run is still in the nascent stages so I have to keep things under a reasonably tight lid. Enjoy! "On the Boulevard" on Vimeo pw: derby

"On the Boulevard" has now been through 9 screenings, 8 at the Messhall Film Festival (a big success this year, two screenings added and more than half sold out) and another at an outside film festival, where it showed at the Regal Live in downtown LA, first outing of the DCP. It's entered in...

I may be misunderstanding but I thought the question was whether you could go fullscreen using just a single screen, i.e. the Macbook Pro running Resolve. You can definitely work with Resolve Live using a secondary monitor displaying fullscreen, as that is what I was doing on the Eilish gig...

I scanned through this thread to try remember why you wanted to use Resolve Live on a single screen, what your setup was hoping to be, and I can't quite figure it out. Given that the point of working in Live is to have constant ability to alter the image while it is playing, I can kind of see...

There wasn't a single white light source anywhere? The performance was all colored light also? For me generally interior performance based lighting is most likely to be based off 3200, so if there is an amber light it is a slightly warmer version of tungsten vs a radically warmed version of...

sigh. In my Steadicam years I obviously had strong back muscles so never an issue there. It was only a few years after I moved on from it thatI had my first injury there, lifting heavy cases into the car with a rotation and extension. Ever since I have been doing what Chris says, calculating...
