Spy Master

[Ted Arabian]

Hey Ted,

Looking forward to the style elements.

If they help tell the story, then you should be okay right?

Yep! I agree.... that's why I shot it like I did. I am looking forward to see how people respond/react to the film.

Thanks for the comment!

Ted, that is sweet! You are quite the savvy guy over there! Nice job! Good luck today with Hillary.

Thanks Rebecca!

I just got back from loading in for the Hillary gig. I just found out that CNN is covering it live!

Here are a few pix of my lighting. (This room is a big, empty common area... ugly, ugly!)

And this is a stand-in for Hillary... (as they were adjusting the banner height. I was glad to see that "she" is well lit at the podium but I think that I am going to add a downlight tomorrow for her hair.)

My instructions were to make Hillary "pop" at the podium and for the Banners to "pop" as well. I like what I did... we'll see how it looks tomorrow! It is supposed to be carried live on CNN at 9:30am (EST)

[RebeccaD]

Very cool. I'll look forward to hearing how it went.

 

[Beat Takeshi]

PoP!
PoP!
pOp!
pOp!

[Beat Takeshi]

I will bring lights.

 

[JOE BLO]

Thanks for the BTS of the SS guys. I'm glad you weren't injured during the filming.

 

[Ted Arabian]

Thanks Joe!

so ted, when are we having the upload party? I'll get the pizzas.

Great idea!!! Aram, you bring the lights and I'll bring the "refreshments!"

Okay, this is my last plug about my political gigs. Thanks for bearing with me.

Everything went great! And the Hillary campaign manager was very pleased!

Here's a few more pix... (btw, she didn't look as washed out as she does in these reduced and compressed pix... just had to say that! )

Dana Bash was reporting live for CNN...

This is what the room looks like once we cleared all of our gear out!

OKAY! I'm DONE!

Time to spend the next 54 hours finishing SPY MASTER!!!

Good luck, everyone! I can't wait to see all of your films.

[Weston]

nice job on the Hilary lighting gig Ted. Looks great. I can see the "pop".

 

[Ted Arabian]

Thanks Weston! I appreciate the comment. I was pretty proud of getting the job and what I did. ALTHOUGH, I did watch some of the clips on TV and I know what I would do differently... if I get another chance!

Thanks!

Well.......23 hours until I have to submit this puppy!

Best to all,

Ted

 

[Ralph Oshiro]

Very cool gig, Ted! Lighting looked very well done! GREAT JOB!

 

[Ted Arabian]

Thanks Ralph! I appreciate it.

I saw a lot of cameras that look more like your than they do mine at these political gigs! Some really nice gear!

 

[bosindy]

How's the ADR going?

 

[Ted Arabian]

Hi Jim! ADR? What's that? A Dumb Resource? Absolute Dialogue (w)reck? :huh:

It's going. Some of it drops in perfectly but then there are the others!

And the big thing is that I REALLY would rather have the natural sounds from the original shoot. Things like actors shifting, breathing, moving about.

BUT, I am working on it as we speak!

How's Frozen River? You ready?

 

[bosindy]

FR is uploaded and approved, were just waiting on you. LOL

 

[Ted Arabian]

I have until 3am (midnight PST!!!)

Psst...don't tell anyone. But I'll give you until 8am PST...that's when I get into work in the morning

 

[tamazeen]

waiting with bated breath ted... good luck!

 

[Hootzie]

[Ted Arabian]

Ted:

Hope everything's going well. Just taking a break myself as my eyes are about to fall out of my sockets.
