    lighting What is this lighting?

    Or a flag/cutter/cookie with purple gel attached... Or a flagged/cut/cookied light with gel covering only part of the lamp

    lighting What is this lighting?

    My money’s on the grade/photoshop, personally, based on the fact it’s not a purple light, however it’s possible it just happens to be an odd window that gave a cool effect.

    lighting What is this lighting?

    Just skimmed; it’s a still shot, right? In which case it could be anything from a gel to coloured glass, led coloured light or even photoshop/grading.

    At the risk of getting too political, I would have thought that stimulus is simply basic economics. At least - for any government that doesn’t want its economy to completely collapse. I would have thought that would be a really good reason to keep the extra unemployment benefit in place...

    cinematography A7S III - Brace yourselves!!

    We are truly in a time where the camera you have is but a tool, and you can make a movie on just about anything including the smartphone in your pocket. I hope this ends the supposed ‘gear wars’ but I know it clearly won’t. I own the A7sII and for my own personal use it’s great.

    Hopefully some sort of rapid testing will allow us to go back to work more safely... I would have thought that the inability to insure would have been a greater hurdle to get back to production. Man, I wanna do that job! Haha Locally, our medical experts changed their views on this after a...

    film-school Do I need film school?

    Here’s the thing. Yes you can forge a career without film school. The ease with which you can do that really depends on you, the market you’re in, how well you network etc. Going to film school allowed me to have a career in film - and I’m not someone who necessarily thrives in a...

    series What series are you watching?

    Just finished re-watching Succession. Think this is currently my favourite show - it’s addictive, dramatic, funny as hell... The writing is great and it’s super unpredictable and it looks beautiful shot on film... Man. What a show.

    Nice! Going back to work would be daunting in some ways I can imagine. We’ve just gone back into six weeks of lockdown, so it’s going to be another little while before we can get back to work.. Can you share any details on the COVID protocols? I love Disneyland, always wanted to shoot for them!

    I was in LA this time last year and I remember from my room I could see about 12 separate fireworks displays across the city... I’d never seen anything like it. Not sure what it was like yesterday, hard to tell from local media reports.

    What’s the mood on the ground like over there? We watch with shock and awe as the country reports over 50,000 new cases per day and people argue in the street over whether they should have to wear masks and the country readies for 4th of July parties... We’re dealing with a 60 per day outbreak...

    series What series are you watching?

    I bought an Apple TV just as the lockdown hit, so I’ve been smashing Morning Wars (or Morning Show depending on where in the world you are), Defending Jacob and have also watched Upload on Amazon, plus finally got around to Season 4 of This Is Us At least I’ve been able to catch up a bit on...

    The 20 Minute Barrier

    Runtime can be a barrier for me. I enjoyed Avengers: Endgame but waited to watch it at home because I didn’t want to have to commit to the three hours + trailers and commercials at the cinema. I caught a 1:30pm session of Bohemian Rhapsody when it came out (with no knowledge of its runtime)...

    format Scene transition

    Just use new scene headings: PRESENT DAY - INT. MISSY’S OFFICE. NIGHT Chris’ body sits in his chair motionless. He can’t move. His eyes are wide open, staring strait at Missy. 41. INT. DARKNESS Chris continues to slowly fall backwards. Missy approaches on the screen above him. It shows what his...

    film-school FAFSA(federal student aid) for film school?

    What school are we talking? Whilst it’s all debt, there’s certainly a difference between a $150k loan and a $30k loan. Film school isn’t for everyone, but I think depending on the school it can be great for a lot of people. Yes it’s about making networks and contacts, but it’s also about making...

    This is one of those things that are hard to quantify - it's quite possible that sans lockdown, the growth would have been much faster and much higher. Certainly here in Australia the lockdown has worked very well - as it has across the ditch in New Zealand. NZ has effectively eradicated COVID...

    I complained to security staff at the supermarket the other day about someone who was sans mask coughing and sneezing everywhere... They were subsequently booted from the store
