I meant ghetto by the universal ladder being used for everything.
The basement still doesn't look ghetto at all.

Oh, no.... I knew what you meant, Aram... But after looking at my statement, I can see why you thought that. :thumbup:

I even use them for reaching high places occasionally! :)

But it is funny.... I was about to go spend money on 2" black pipe, flanges and connectors and make a few lighting trees. Then I realized that I could save $40-50 and use some scrap lumber at my house. (I am a scenic designer/carpenter as well and have tons of debris in my barn!)

I started to build a few trees out of 2x4's when I saw my ladders hanging. I thought, hmmmmm..... stable with plenty of levels to place lights. Plus, very portable!

Yes, they've come in handy. And they were not an additional expense.

Thanks for visiting!

Thanks Kyle! I appreciate the comments. :beer:

It's gonna be a fun festival!!!

(You should put a banner up in your signature.... advertise your film, "Developed.")
 
:beer: thats a good idea, i'll get on that (now that I actually have some real footage) -- I also need to change the poster a little bit because i've since changed the font and overall 'feel' of this production. -- oh well, it'll have to wait until later today. gotta head to theatre class! -- PEACE OUT

Thanks for popping in! Always welcome!!! :beer:

Gotta do crazy makeshift rigs until my camera and equipment start making me more $$$!

And yeah, love my basement. Made in 1874. Real creepy place. (It's a good place to hide my porn collection.... my wife won't go down there! :) D'oh!)

HAHAHA! That's good. I like football, too. Even weirder.

Once, when this show closed that I was performing in, the cast all wanted to get together on a Sunday to have a cast party. I said that I couldn't because of my football viewing schedule. They all looked at me like I had three heads!

I am an F1 fan myself, I never miss a Grand Prix, so it happened to more times than I can remember going somewhere and searching for a TV set to tune in.
 
F1 are awesome. I went to the Indy 500 once. Oh, man. That was a great day! Something about the roar of those engines. My testostrogen was running high that day!
 
I'll bet. When I went to the Indy 500, I thought that I would never miss the event again. Unfortunately, I haven't been back since. But I am glad that I made it at least once. What a great time.

Alright! I have GOT to get back to work!!!

Until later -
 
LOL! Nothing precarious about my rigging. It may look dangerous, but I am safe all the way! ----ouch, what the hell? Dammit! My coffee mug just feel off my ladder and landed on my foot! :)
 
Hey TheatreGuy...nice bloody ceiling. You look like you're making great progress. Good luck man.

Thanks apollyon! Yeah... pretty cool shot.

Kind of a funny story here. A little behind the scenes BTS.

I installed a bathroom on the second floor of my house about 4 years ago. Then, about a month ago, my wife had a, um... "clogging incident" and came running downstairs to tell me the entire upstairs bathroom was flooded with water!

I ran up, saw the pool, went downstairs to my dining room (which is under the bathroom) and saw the ceiling bulging from water!

I thought, FREAKIN' A! I am going to lose part of my ceiling!!!

I grabbed my drill gun and a ladder (surprised?) and got up to the ceiling and began drilling holes for the water to escape. (I thought that if this worked, I would only have to putty up the little holes and repaint than have to replace a large section of my ceiling) Sure enough, the water found it's way through the many little holes and my ceiling was saved.

Well, I have yet to get around to patching and painting and when I was finding ways to add "blood elements" to my film, I thought... "Hey!" I have to fix this part of the ceiling anyways, why not create a pool of blood and shoot it!

Voila!

(I don't know how funny that actually is, but let it be a lesson to you if you ever find your ceiling bulging with water!) :)
 
lol...the drilling holes is a nice tip. I like you, you make the most of whatever you have at hand. I have a feeling if we were in the middle of a nuclear winter, you'd find a way to use radioactive people to film in the dark, since they glow so nicely :-)
 
LMAO!!! That's great!

Yeah, I like to consider myself a resourceful guy. Whether or not I am a filmmaker will be yet to be determined!

Thanks apollyon!

Oh! And if I have a ladder handy, we can hang them from it and create some nice overhead lighting!!!
