bah gawd im gonna do it~! and im gonna write shorts the Rebel Without A Crew way (this time) – limiting the zero budget production to stuff i already have my parents just bought a house in an adorable mountain town, and my visit got me thinking... i should film something there so im going to, feel free to wish me luck or share stories of how this could get me high level representation or make suggestions or... whatever i feel like the best thing to hit up CAA with would be like an episodic series, with short episodes, and maybe theres enough of a flow so you could watch like, six ten minute pieces back to back if u wanted to. throw it up on youtube, see if anyone salutes seems like thats the hip thing, what do you think guys? *i understand that what im attempting creatively is very difficult if not impossible, but lets just ignore that for the moment lol

wow... that was really great @HockeyFan12 i want CAA like representation more than anything in the world, its essential to accomplishing my fine art and filmmaking goals. youre telling me that if i made a short that was hot, that could get my foot in the door? im aware of things like this happening in the abstract, im not questioning your point in any way, im begging for encouragement smh

i feel like the creative writing part of my brain is very much separate from the nuts and bolts production/budget side.... like they need to have a meeting to reconcile writing something you can produce frugally is extra tough for this reason imo i feel like: Kaylee, since you dont have the money to produce your feature yet, if youre such a genius why dont you write a little no budget short to get attention? easier said than done

how eloquent

"peaking"? wtf (meanwhile my 2012 5d3 is doing 3.5k raw) http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-5ds-r-mark-ii-talk-cr2/ canon doesnt get that their slrs are the entryway to their cinema line, as you guys have said. like theres no relationship. like cinematographers dont own stills cameras

tell that to David Miscavige's wife ? im p close to gold base rn they own the road out front ? not that the pope doesnt have a secret prison... im sure he does, but at least it doesnt cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to be a catholic scary sounds like this guy has a p good life, way better than being a slave with a billion year contract /shifting gears, a Leica Q to me is like a rolls royce: theres a reason that you pay a huge premium for a hand made bmw, its another level of craftsmanship, design, and yes, luxury ive never shot w one but id love to. when im rich ill DEFINITELY buy one lol

i said See ya later to Adobe~! well not rlly i still have photoshop and lightroom lol resolve 14 is way faster on my mac. havent used it much but so far so good

omg im gonna have bad dreams about a red head burning my face off amazing. stuff like this honestly makes me feel better about myself bc youre sooo smart. btw just wondering – when were you shooting the tour de france? i read tyler hamiltons book about lance lol >>> OOOO! I thought of ANOTHER refrigerator related incident: one time an actor was getting some ice out of the freezer above a fridge at the studio we were shooting at and the freezer was stuck a little bit and when she gave it a pull she managed to hit herself in the face with the freezer door causing immediate swelling and what turned into a black eye

when steven spielberg made jaws, they built a mechanical shark that sank. then he embraced the aesthetic of shooting around the shark lol

Hey guys!! I was thinking it would be fun and even therapeutic to have a thread about production disasters – war stories about our own mistakes as well as those of others (feel free to omit names to protect the innocent) that have been embarrassing, tragic, etc. It’s fun because we have such a limited camaraderie in our little filmmaking tribe and we can all relate to each other, and also, of course, this is how we learn~! I find that when these things happen, and I say, “I’ll laugh about this one day”, that’s usually the case, but it might literally take years for that day to come. Here’s an example… Once upon a time I was doing a photo shoot with a midget wearing prosthetic makeup. I designed the makeup, built it, and worked for months on it with another artist. Some talent was flown in. Makeup, photographer, lighting, etc. At the time I was living in a big loft/industrial space in downtown LA, so we did the shoot at my place. And of course, being a good producer and host, I had a plethora of snacks representing crafty. Along with all the food, juice and sodas, I got a 12 pack of beer for my friends to enjoy if they wanted to hang around for a minute AFTER THE SHOOT. Naturally I put that beer in my fridge with everything else. As things were getting set up and Bob* (*name changed to protect his precious professional reputation) the midget was getting his makeup applied, I noticed that the lil guy was sitting on his stool sipping a beer. “Ah, he’s having a beer,” I thought. “Long makeup process. Enjoy.” Sometime later, after hours of makeup being applied, I noticed Bob going to the fridge for another beer. I said, “Hey Bob, I was saving those for later, but I can get some more, do you think I should?” Bob slurred, “Yeah, this is almost gone,” and held up a box formerly containing 12 beers, a box that was nearly empty. It was at this point my friends, that reality started to melt just a little bit. The calamity became apparent. I immediately started thinking, “I’ll just do it again, I’ll do this whole shoot again…” Things started getting a little visually trippy despite my sobriety, think Fear and Loathing. Bob was completely, absolutely plastered. He was literally falling off his stool drunk. My friend the makeup artist persisted as Bob began fussing like a child. “MY WIFE…WHERE’S MY WIFE?” he howled. “Your wife is in Chicago, Bob. That’s where you live.” Then the pizza arrived. Bob was hungry. He sat down on my couch and proceeded to eat half a pizza AS WELL AS HALF THE PROSTHETIC MAKEUP FROM HIS FACE. I was in awe. Things did not get any better from there, but everyone on my crew reacted to this hot mess like a champion, they all hung in there for me, and after a ton of work in Photoshop that I should’ve never had to do........ I got images that were pretty close to what I’d originally wanted. I can laugh about this now, but this is the kind of shit that they don’t teach you in art school. Expect the unexpected. Be aware of variables you can’t control. Limit them. It’s become a mantra. HERE’S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF ME SCREWING UP: One time earlier this year I was shooting some personal stills on my 5d3 with my sunglasses on, cuz I’m so good at photography that I can’t be bothered to take them off at 9am, and I completely fucked up the settings and a bunch of the exposures were ruined. I’ve never done that with a digital camera in my life and that happened this year, in 2017. Thank God this account is anonymous Wow, that WAS therapeutic, I feel great now~!

but ill starve

i dont mean to change the subject but im rooting for conor mcgregor on saturday

ed, heres a protip: acting like a 5 year old online, under your real name, is a very bad idea. people who might want to hire you based on your good work will start to vet you, and within seconds theylll discover that youre a huge pain in the ass online, and they will wonder: How much worse is he in person? i thought that maybe youd turned over a new leaf. time to grow up dude

andrew, great article, really interesting, and i love the infrared stuff~! one of these days im gonna get a camera to IR convert. have you shot infrared before? im sure you have, youve clearly got the idea

i LOVE being able to quote my own posts!! its like reblogging myself on tumblr @Zak Forsman one point of feedback: i would take the word "nicely" off that poster. good for a romantic comedy maybe? (Love is Nice) now then: guys thats an awesome throwback poster, for all the reasons that illustration is great for a one sheet, the artist did a great job, v well executed. but its not a retro gimmick, to me anyway, its SUPER contemporary it amazes me to no end how terrible the "thumbnail" images on various services for video may look, this poster on the other hand is a great, iconic, graphic design that is *intriguing* even at the size of a postage stamp. id click on that!!!! v v cool

poster is dope @Zak Forsman

ok whoops! thank you
