Hey guys...I have Red#'s 1085 & 1086...Work in Baltimore, house in Winchester VA...Planning on test footage(starting Dec. 10th as soon as the batteries charge up)and then hopfully first snow we start to shoot our feature...Let us all know if we're going to try to get together some time...Oh...I'm also getting the prime set, the 18-50mm, and the 50-150mm...What's everyone else getting as far as lenses???...My lenses will be available to anyone with access to other cool lenses I don't have...lol...but true...
 
I havent decided on which accesories I'm getting.
tentative
Zoom Lens

Still need to find a matte box kit and a tripod head/set of sticks.
Oh, and a new computer system to edit on, up in the air as to whether it will be Mac or Windows.
Lots of other stuff I've probably forgotten about.


You live in Winchester and work in Baltimore? That's a pretty long drive.
 
Godfather cancelled?

Godfather cancelled?

I was planning to make it to the gathering, but just checked the AFI site and it said that the Godfather was cancelled. Something about being pulled for restoration.

Anyway, anyone have other suggestions for a get together or perhaps just want to meet for dinner or coffee? Or maybe I missed something on the site...

Let me know.

Thanks,
Walter
 
GodFather cancelled? geez.

Unable to make Sunday and nothing else on Friday I want to see.
 
That sucks about Godfather. Stalker plays Sept 15 at the National Gallery (nga.gov). Any Tarkovsky fans?

Now your talking, plus there is easy metro access (Smithsonian) and no charge for tickets AFAIK.
Plus there are a couple of pretty good restaurants and a book store in the museums and underground between the National Gallery and the Modern Art.


Barring something coming up, count me in.... Good recovery adaml.:)

For most people coming in, this might actually be easier.
Pick a convenient metro stop anywhere outside DC and ride in. On weekends, most metro stops do not charge for parking. Check the metros web site for the stops farthest out (end of line). Getting on those will increase your chances of getting a seat. Weekends tend to be very busy.
 
ahh...crap. Better go get a re-fund for my Godfather ticket.

I can make the 15th. Is Stalker playing in Russian with subs, or dubbed? I can't stand dubbed films.

Stalker
September 15 at 2:30 p.m.
Andrei Tarkovsky's allegorical excursion through a ravaged post-apocalyptic landscape ("the Zone") is led by a Stalker (Aleksandr Kaidanovsky) who guides two others—the Writer (Anatoli Solonitsyn) and the Professor (Nikolai Grinko)—in their nearly hallucinatory quest to find an elusive wish-fulfilling place called "the Room." (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1979, 35mm, Russian with subtitles, 163 mins.)

At that length, we should meet and eat before viewing.
 
There is a buffet in the National Gallery, and a restaurant with multiple options in the underground walkway between the National Gallery and Modern Art (where the film is showing I think). Neither are cheap. The only other place close would be the restaurants in the Natural History, but they aren't as good. Of course we could buy hot dogs from the street vendors. hehehe.

If we do the buffet, we need to allow plenty of time since there is usually a line. The Restaurant in the underground walkway has several options, from cooked to order, to fast food, to a salad bar.
 
Unfortunately i'm looking at another three day weekend at the studio (meaning we have shoots friday saturday and sunday), so i'll be booked like a librarian this weekend.
 
We are planning on seeing a movie at the Nation Gallery (on the Mall).
Check Adaml posts for time.
We haven't decided what time before the movie to meet.

adam, you can email me a tuffcom <at> gmail you know what.
