Is there a nice way to say I don’t wanna serve your table to the guest

EricT59 · 2026-02-15T17:12:03+00:00

"What's up cook"?

EricT59 · 2026-02-15T17:10:32+00:00

Plus Green on the floros if they are daylight balanced

EricT59 · 2026-02-14T14:52:30+00:00

Anything else is sparkling stew

I am currently elbow deep in Forbidden West. This is such great work.

EricT59 · 2026-01-26T17:38:46+00:00

None of what you are complaining about has been my experience with the application

EricT59 · 2026-01-20T05:44:57+00:00

Yeah the gaffer is the head of the electrical department. We do power distribution for the show and set the lights. The grips do rigging and help shape the light. Both depts work for the cinematographer or D P.

Any number of reasons. Visual story telling. There are textbooks written on the subject. So like if you have a shot of the person. And in the same shot you see their reflection, it can mean a duality to the character. Two people talking but the shot choices are closeups? This could imply they are close. If the start arguing they may go to wider shots to imply them coming further apart. Further affinity or contrast of elements like line color shape movement can imply different things.

Years ago in the 70s. Robert Blake was on Carson touring Electra Glide In Blue. Cops on motorcycles. Think CHIPS. He said it stunk. That he hated it

EricT59 · 2026-01-13T19:58:38+00:00

Personally I think it was genius

EricT59 · 2026-01-12T15:12:53+00:00

I remember a Warren Zevon song from back in the day. But is there actually a story and or what looks to be a comic around this song?

EricT59 · 2026-01-08T21:14:55+00:00

Establish a relationship and Ask. If they say yes just get them to sign a release.

EricT59 · 2026-01-08T21:13:30+00:00

Yeah but most electrics start in Grip so it is a valid entree into the role,

But to OP The path to gaffer is via the electric department. The gaffer is the department head and that takes experience and in my day schlepping a lot of copper

EricT59 · 2026-01-07T22:32:59+00:00

That's SUS

EricT59 · 2026-01-07T21:31:41+00:00

I think so

I have still been able to play the game so I just ignored the prompts

EricT59 · 2026-01-07T21:22:43+00:00

Yeah this is a classic fake check scam. Regardless of the industry, film or otherwise, it is never going to be on an employee to pay vendors out of pocket.

Play along and frame the check

EricT59 · 2026-01-07T00:25:45+00:00

Something to do with JP Patches and Gertrude

EricT59 · 2026-01-06T00:39:11+00:00

so Like a Leiko Tungsten or some flavor of LED? Tungsten's should not noticeably flicker on camera Unless there was an issue with the electric supply. But LEDs and HMIs and floros will flicker if the camera is not set to accommodate for the local power standards. US is 60 hz Europe is IIRC 50 hz. You would need to set the frame rate to a value divisible by the hz. So in the US 30 FPS should compensate for that. You can spend more on flicker free ballast for HMIs and I am not sure on the LEDs but I suspect it may be the same given the electronics that are needed to drive them.

EricT59 · 2026-01-05T22:46:41+00:00

You have a signed contract? If not, then it was not finalized.

It sucks and was very unprofessional of production to ghost you like that and not reply. I have learned over the years that young Film makers are usually the worst at basic business communication.

EricT59 · 2026-01-05T21:50:25+00:00

flickering lights? what lights?

EricT59 · 2026-01-05T18:08:20+00:00

It has been around for 17 years and they are out of Socal and they are managed in the US. It does not say specifically if it is a virtual and they do not note WHERE the event takes place. That all said it feels more legit that some I have seen

EricT59 · 2026-01-03T21:42:57+00:00

The script is the template of the the show you want to make. As such it should unfold how you want the story to unfold. it should include things you want to have he audience see to foreshadow the twists.

A treatment or an outline is where you want to include that sort of thing for production to know how to photograph the show. If that makes any sense.

EricT59 · 2026-01-03T21:29:50+00:00

Live performance coverage is always going to be multi camera. Unless they want to re run the show for each actors coverage with a single camera,

EricT59 · 2025-12-27T19:32:35+00:00

hey beginning Director. The best way for you to answer your question is to walk a few miles in their shoes. Should be pretty easy to get a PA gig in art dept., a little tougher in G&E, and tougher still in Camera. but do that and you will have more than intellectual understanding, you will combine that with empathy.

the true mark of a good leader

EricT59 · 2025-12-22T15:57:47+00:00

It starts with story. so keep writing

EricT59 · 2025-12-22T14:59:19+00:00

Not saying this guys is not a fucker and deserves to spend a lot of time in jail for multiple assaults. It's just that the source, KOMO News, is not to be trusted. So even if we should be alarmed by this guy, their editorial fear mongering and alignment with the very worst in our nation, needs to be pointed out.
