Part of the problem with taking a shitload of photos on any trip is the going through and uploading of said photos.
There’s at least 1500 of them on the data cards and I have to look through all of them, decide which ones are worth keeping (they can’t all be winners, after all) and then [...]
I’m back, I had a great time but right now I’m incredibly tired.
I have three gigs of photos (and that’s just the digital stuff – I won’t get the film back for a few days) to go through, but all I’m going to try to get done today is laundry. Plus, I have to eat [...]
Why not? We’ve got an election coming up and I need a job.
Here’s my official platform:
Waterboarding? Dude, it’s like totally torture.
I suppose the litmus test for that would be if the Khmer Rouge used it, it’s, like, totally torture. Which could include the city bus on a hot day, but that’s an issue for another [...]
Today marked my last day of work until all this strike business blows over.
The show that I was working on is an unfortunate victim of the downsizing that’s been happening all over town – a lot of shows are getting the axe because, well, because it’s an excuse to cut some fat and cancel expensive [...]
Today, our job was getting insert and reaction shots of the most terrifying, time wasting, uncooperative beast that a film crew can ever have the bad luck to try and shoot.
That’s, right, I’m talking about…
Babies.
You thought it was going to be cats, didn’t you? Not by a long shot. Everybody thinks that cats are totally [...]
One of the things about shooting day exteriors in winter is that there’s just not that much daylight – in the summer, the sun comes up at 5 am and doesn’t set until around 9 pm, so when one is shooting day exterior, one has all the time in the world.
Today, we had a horrifying [...]
Almost a week ago, I found this dog:
All attempts at finding her real family have failed (according to the lady at the shelter, there’s a good chance that she was dumped), and now I’m having to think about things.
I really like the dog and want to keep her, but given the hours I work [...]
Yesterday afternoon, as I was sitting at home contemplating a visit to the gym, I got a last minute call from a friend who needed four people to come in and swap out fluorescent tubes in a set they’d shot that day (on the unused 10th floor of the LA Times building downtown).
When we swap [...]
My main problem Friday night wasn’t the copious amount of poison oak all over our location, but the dust and pollen in the air. For some reason I always forget that if the location’s on a dirt road the approaching vehicles will make the inevitable dust storm worse. I then vow to never again leave [...]
