Let's face it ... sometimes a sleepy Grip is swooping your camera through endless sheets of rain, while half-naked foreign models knock on each other ... and you're pulling focus with half a croissant in your mouth. It's another Tuesday in the office, and Elaine's rain cover has your back ... :thumbsup:

So, I can offer to babysit here? Or sell drugs? (Legal ones, of course.) […] But it hardly seems reasonable to sell firearms on a camera discussion site. Isn't that what Craiglist is for?

In response to a statement that "making a good movie has nothing to do with the camera",

Rob Ruffo said:
Everything matters. Cameras matter, lights matter, post matters... Why don't you go on eBay, buy yourself a VHS camcorder, and shoot your "brilliant masterpiece". What are you doing on this forum?

you climb five mountains on the way to completing a film: the screenplay, pre-production, production, post-production, and sales/distro

each one of these is a mountain, and when you are done shooting, you're over the hump but still at the midpoint.

making features is not for the faint of heart.

Some frames from our little pick-up shoot. We shot in an abandoned hospital in Boyle Heights for a dream sequence where Jack Kerouac imagines a community of "Vulturemen" and sees an image of the Cross. I basically had three lights (1.2K HMI PAR, Source-4 HMI, and a Kinoflo) and we used house power, and a lot of available light as well. We used a Red One, 4K 2:1, recorded to CF cards. 800 ASA to 1600 ASA, 3600K setting, 50% desaturation. I mostly alternated between a 16mm UltraPrime and my Lensbaby. I used a #1/4 Double Fog filter -- and I sprinkled some water on the filter before every take, flicked it on with my fingers.

The RAW files show more highlight detail but I was aiming for a lot of blown-out detail and added a lot of contrast to the stills, plus additional diffusion:

Interesting archival strategy:

You aren't likely to just find a random extra 3 strip backup somewhere. If you make 300 LTO copies for the price of one optical copy you can hand them out as party favors. That is seriously more resilient than one expensive three strip backup.
