The Christmas List

I'm sticking it here. What do we all want for Christmas? Keep it realistic (no islands, no world peace, no lottery winning). I was just curious what it is that everyone wants and why? Film related of course.
 
Re: The Christmas List

I just broke the bank today buying almost everything I've ever wanted as far as gear goes... so this will take some thought.
 
Re: The Christmas List

Oh! I stand corrected. I'll take a wide angle too. Plus some century achromatic diopters, and a B+W .6 Grad ND.
 
Re: The Christmas List

For christmas, I'd like anamorphic matteblox along with the anamorphic lens.
 
Re: The Christmas List

What did you get with your bank-breaking, TC? (Aside from the tripod I read about in a nother post)

Santa can't wait to bring me a new tripod, and Barry's book. Anything else is gravy. But as long as we are talking about it, there are a number of DVD's I'm craving:
All the Dirty Harry films (Maybe minus the Dead Pool)
The Star Wars DVDs
Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter (Try finding THAT at Wal Mart.)
Fargo Special Edition
All the Bogie/Bacall flicks

Ahhhh, there's nothing like Christmas to raise your hopes, only to see them crushed amid piles of torn wrapping paper when your Dad mails you a plastic popcorn serving set ("But it's just like the ones you get at the movies Jim!"), instead of the **** you asked for... I know, I know what am I, 6? At times. At times.

Sigh

Once it all comes in, I'm going to take glamour pics and post them for all to see. For a taste, the tripod as you mentioned. A full Arri fresnel set, topped off with some Lowels, Sony production monitor, AT4073 and add that on top of the Chrosziel follow focus and mattebox I bought last week.

Droooool, I can't WAIT for the mailman!
 
Re: The Christmas List

I actually got a loan from my parents so I can shoot a short at the begining of January. $6000 to be payed off over the course of 3 years, sweet deal! Though it's going to be nothing but Top Ramen for me.

My dad told me that if I don't get an Oscar someday he will be sorely disappointed.
 
Re: The Christmas List

Already got it. Our up and coming trip to Peru.

Then our Church Decided to send 20 people with my wife and I next Summer to do a Medical Mission trip to Peru.
