Itunes BTS of "Australia"

[Ryan Patrick O'Hara]

Thought I would let everyone know there is a very cool itunes series called
"Baz Luhrmann: Set to Screen" which has about 10 videos showcasing behind the scenes footage from virtually all departments. I really enjoyed the Director of Photography Mandy Walker, and seeing all of the other short episodes such as Location shooting, Production Design, and etc.

Check it out! If you don't have Itunes the episodes should be on YouTube, although it looks great when you download the good version on Itunes. It's FREE too.

This link should open Itunes and take you to the itunes store where the episodes are available. If the link doesn't work just do a search within Itunes.

I found these little jems while downloading "Cinematographers Style" movie from Itunes. It is for sale at just $9.99! This is highly recommended as one of the best documentaries on filmmaking let alone cinematography. Every beginning director I work with is going to have to sit through this film before we work together. Truly inspirational film on a job many know little about.

Best,

I found out about the program, which was running during the post-production period, very late in the game. There was an 'edit a commerical' from a set of given materials, clips, stills, and posters. I only found that about 12 hours before the close of the contest... and had something cobbled together, but 5 minutes late...

What's worse was the area of the site disappeared that had all the BTS segments... I'll have to check, but at the time I found out they were up on iTunes, not all the segments were available.

I'll help you strap them down.

did anyone notice the video-esque finder Baz was holding at 1:21 of the DoP segment? i'm curious to know what that contraption is.

thanks.

It's a directors viewfinder, from Panavision. There are four different types from my memory, and this is the rare one. I never saw one of these go through during my brief time at the company. If I had, you'd better believe I would have taken the rest of the day off!

Ryan - which Panavision were you with? I'm currently interning at Woodland Hills.

 

[Ryan Patrick O'Hara]

Yeah, I worked at Woodland Hills. Worked there up to early this month.

Great place! Loved it there. Hope to be back someday. I didn't see you there so I'm guessing I missed you by days or a week. Crazy huh?

If you see one of those Aussie viewfinders come through, raid the lens cart, sneak off and play with it for me. I used to use my breaks to sift through the return lens cart and look through the director viewfinders.
