So I walked into Monaco in San Francisco, where I usually get my 16mm film processed, and they informed me that starting last Friday they no longer process negative 16mm film.
The place I usually send my Super 8 footage to get processed announced:
Please note: current plans are to discontinue the processing of Kodachrome Movie Film at the end of December 2010.
AHHH! Time to transition to Alpha Cine in Seattle.
My new spot meter came in the mail today. Holy cow! Let me tell you, this thing is INCREDIBLE! I definitely don’t regret not buying a combo meter. This is a billion times better.
Production design from my S16mm thesis, “The Move.”
Those freaking ants finally made their acting debut.
We wrapped day one of my thesis yesterday. We finished about 3 hours behind schedule and I felt absolutely terrible about being in Erika’s home. She was really cool about it, even though her dad was pissed. I’m a bad friend.
I will have a better debrief on Monday once the entire thing is done. Tomorrow is shooting in Vacaville for 2 scenes. I’m exhausted.
My cast and crew are amazing and I love them for all their hard work.
I felt so much better about Directing and DPing this because I had a camera operator. So much better. All my teachers were right, I shouldn’t DP/Camera Operate. That way I can focus on other more important things.
my dad had to go back to work tonight and I know he was mad at me when he left but I just got off the phone with him and I apologized again and let him know that I didn’t want him to think I had any lack of respect for him or his home and thanked him and thanked him some more and apologized some more and now he’s good. :) I really do have a great dad. well a grreat stepdad who damm near raised me my whole life.
so karen, no worries, all is good.
karen and her crew wrapped a little later then expected and so when my dad came home and saw all the equipment and everything, he wasn’t too pleased. I told him it would have been done by 5 and it wasn’t. but its okay. I know I helped karen out a ton and her crew was amazing and treated my home with respect and picked up after themselves and they were all amazing. I’m glad I got to meet them.
I don’t know how they do all they do. its insane. I really had no idea what it took to make a film. they put so much in to each scene.
I hope they all drive back to SF safely and get plenty of sleeep.
I am going to throw my stinky ass into the shower then go to bed.
I’ve got another busy day ahead of me.
and again, karen and her crew were great! karen I love you and I’m glad I was of some help today! I’ll be here to help whenever I can help!
I can’t even put into words how grateful I am for Erika and her family. Thank you again!
