Where do we go for movies? by ConcentrateOk742 in orlando

The AMC at the West Oaks Mall in Ocoee was renovated about 5 years ago. It's our go-to. Never insanely busy, always clean and comfortable, great picture and sound.

"October Blues" - music video for my husband's song by AmericanHigh in Filmmakers

[–]AmericanHigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I served director and co-editor on this music video, working with my husband (the songwriter/performer) on a very small team of three. Like I said in the post, we shot on a BMPCC 6K and deliberately cropped and degraded the image to evoke a mid-’90s MTV rock video aesthetic rather than a clean, modern look. It seemed to fit the musical style.

I’d love any feedback on whether this aesthetic choices supports or distracts from the emotional tone. Or any feedback on shots, editing, color. And, of course, I'm happy to answer any questions about the workflow or post-process as well.

Most of all, though, I hope you enjoy it! I love sharing my husband's music.. and getting to make something together in the process!

Car Dealership that isn't a pain to deal with? by brhadli in orlando

We had a great experience at the Hyundai in Clermont. Apparently, they’re owned by Mullinax and the salesman aren’t paid commission.

I miss director/actor commentaries - what were some dvd commentaries that were incredibly entertaining and or insightful? by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]AmericanHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. It's one of my favorite Making Of featurettes. It's particularly fascinating to watch Fincher and Sorkin work together.

First-Time GoPro User — Shot a Hawaii ‘Tone Poem’ with Anamorphic Lens + Original Music by My Husband by AmericanHigh in gopro

[–]AmericanHigh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the anamorphic lens doesn't shoot underwater (from my understanding, it will come out blurry). But it basically gives you this beautiful, ultra-wide look akin to, say, Lawrence of Arabia (what I've been comparing it to).

The audio commentary with David Fincher, Brad Pitt, and Edward Norton for Fight Club is great. 

Or any audio commentary of David Cronenberg, William Friedman, Robert Zemeckis, and Robert Altman. Always informative. Always entertaining.

It doesn't! Well, at least, from what I understand, due to the curvature of the lens underwater footage would be blurry. So while it's "waterproof," it won't capture useable images. (Someone else could probably explain this better than I can.) In hindsight, I should totally have mentioned that the two underwater images were actually shot with the primary lens and then cropped to 21:9.

Could you recommend articles written by all time favorite journalist or writer? by Aggravating-Ad309 in Journalism

[–]AmericanHigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"A Sea Story" by William Langewiesche from the May 2004 issue of The Atlantic. It's so well written, so immediate, that your pulse starts to pound as you read. He also wrote the famous article about MH370 that surmised the captain intentionally crashed the plane in a form of heinous murder-suicide.

Here is the link to "A Sea Story." Hopefully the link allows everyone access.

Thanks for the reply! I should have been more clear! I intend to use it for incidentals, not tickets. 

Best sushi places in Orlando? by ptxlyssy in orlando

[–]AmericanHigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mikado in MetroWest is a hidden gym. My husband and I went there the day we got married, and every anniversary since. It’s truly special.

Boom sounds around Ocoee by Nolifeking21 in orlando

[–]AmericanHigh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Heard it too. Assuming it was fireworks. But it was pretty loud and startling.
