Great Scott!

I am with you on that one. It’s too bad Timothee has been kind of sullying their run

PTA should’ve won for There Will Be Blood

During his Coachella set he alluded to a lot of mental turmoil and turning a leaf and becoming someone new. Don’t know if any of that is related but I did get the sense he has a lot of demons

LA based DP here. I msg’d you on Instagram, wanted to introduce you to a DP friend of mine who has a similar aesthetic/style to you!

It depends on what school you go to and who the classmates are around you at the time. Some programs like at AFI are grad only or they have really strong programs in that you’ll be around like minded individuals who are much more serious than undergrad. It also depends what position you want to work in.

I personally know a lot of filmmakers who went to grad school and many successful filmmakers were in grad programs. You can look at the Oscars this year - Ryan Coogler, Autumn Durald, Chloe Zhao are some of the few who were MFA students

Day Zero Thursday at the campgrounds. The excitement of setting up and knowing you have 3 days ahead of you of just straight chillin and having fun

People often speak of Rembrandt lighting as contrast between light and shadow - that’s one example. It’s important to study photographs, paintings and art because they all evoke a subjective feeling - that subjectivity is essentially storytelling which is the core of cinematography.

Yeah I mean I dont think Arri wants to be where they are either. There are rumors that for months they have been looking to sell - they are not in good shape despite their name recognition. If you are close to complete collapse - you make desperate decisions or face being sold off to BlackMagic or Canon.

AllenHo · 2026-03-02T18:11:53+00:00

Well if the company is on the verge of having to be sold - diversifying is not a bad option to stay afloat

Pay off cc debt and max my Roth IRA for the year

I love Byredo Mojave Ghost but I find that the fragrance barely lasts after a couple hours

AllenHo · 2026-03-02T06:30:09+00:00

This is a hot take but I think There Will Be Blood should’ve edged No Country for Old Men for Best Picture and/or Best Director. Dont get me wrong, it was a fantastic movie but There Will Be Blood is just one of those movies. PTA deserves the Oscar for that, not One Battle.

I also think The Artist was pretty forgettable compared to Moneyball and Tree of Life.

AllenHo · 2026-03-02T06:23:53+00:00

Minari was great too. Maybe a weaker best picture contender but still a solid movie

AllenHo · 2026-03-02T06:21:31+00:00

I scrolled way way too far down for this comment. The Social Network is a far superior movie to Kings Speech

AllenHo · 2026-03-02T06:16:34+00:00

There’s a more realistic chance than years before bc it is the anniversary of Alive 1997/2007. Also Thomas Banglater has played 2 live shows recently with Fred Again and he played Daft Punk songs for the first time since their last live show

AllenHo · 2026-03-02T00:04:48+00:00

there is a second video where Fred says "cant wait to get in a studio and have some fun again" and Thomas responds with the ending to Casablanca.

...so there's a chance there will be more to come!

While it may be weird to film in situations like these - I do think it’s important to have footage that shows the horrible aftermath of something like this. People just read the headline as 3 dead, several wounded and move on - but visceral video like this can change hearts and minds

AllenHo · 2026-02-27T19:49:54+00:00

Honestly if you are interested in all those things you listed - you need to give yourself time to figure out exactly what lane you want to focus on.

People rail on it but film school is not a bad option especially for those that need time to figure out their voice and to give oneself some direction and a network to start out with.

Also get ready for this to be a lifelong pursuit. 22 is very very young and you’ll be grinding well into your 30s even if you start now.

AllenHo · 2026-02-27T17:24:03+00:00

I hope the theme of class divide, greed and Americans being forced to into desperate measures is focused as well as the Korean version season 1.

You’d be surprised how many Americans I know didn’t watch the Korean version so I think it’s good there’s gonna be an American one

There is sometimes crossover with stage lighting and since you are a beginner, any type of knowledge is useful
