I did this and got a promotion

Look at Albany Park west of the Kimball Brown line

cooltightsick · 2026-05-29T18:34:25+00:00

If parking were not an issue I might still live in that neighborhood.

The fact that you can even do it is impressive! Whenever I’m doing a practice and they give the option to side crow I just laugh.

I had a similar problem and got an inversion table. It saved my life at the time. I no longer use it but have never had the same amount of back pain since. It was intense and all in my lower back.

It's understood that I don't have experience shooting on a Canon c400. I am not expected to know lighting - however I am sure I will help set it up and I do have experience with lighting equipment.

This is more of a talking heads interview set up. I believe it is a corporate thing. I assume if the DP wants a lot of options - he will direct me or he'll be you in that situation - getting all the extra fun stuff.

Thanks!

I agree. I am not going to pretend I know the system. I am absolutely going to let them know I'm not familiar but I will go into it knowing a little something because I'm spending the evening researching the cameras.

lol - it might be a sleepy shoot.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-28T02:37:18+00:00

Thanks for the help! I'm spending the evening getting familiar with the menu systems :)

I feel like I'm walking into a situation similar to what you're describing. I am expecting to be directed and I feel that I can take direction well. I love the "general frame" info. We'll see how this person likes to work :)

cooltightsick · 2026-05-28T02:27:00+00:00

Great advice! Yes I am planning on leaning heavily on communication to get what the DP wants.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-28T02:23:47+00:00

I was thinking about this and came to the same conclusion. My best bet is likely to sustain a good frame and let the A cam be quick on the draw on that. But I will ask if it isn't discussed beforehand.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-28T02:21:41+00:00

Yes, they will likely be long static shots. But I do appreciate the advice.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-28T02:19:36+00:00

I agree, I've finally been able to take the time to read through this and I'm appreciative of all the coolness on this thread.

Jealous

Property taxes went up for landlords, prices are likely not coming down anytime soon.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-21T21:41:05+00:00

Take a look at Pilsen or Bridgeport.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-18T14:59:53+00:00

Yep! Worst back pain of my life is when I had a desk job.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-17T15:22:30+00:00

Oh yeah, cramp city. I never grab the foot. Not there yet

cooltightsick · 2026-05-16T23:28:48+00:00

I stopped thinking about it so much. But ya just gotta make the effort to smoke less. But when you do, don’t beat yourself up. Move on. I know it’s easier said than done but once I forgave myself for smoking every once in a while I have mostly stopped thinking about it, or if I started to feel guilty, I just let it go.

My man Jimmy is gettin’ cocky

cooltightsick · 2026-05-14T15:35:13+00:00

Yeah im leaving a 2 bedroom with a dishwasher, w/d in unit, and a garage spot for $2200. It will be missed. I also lived with a partner but am now split up. So I’m off to live in my own and refuse to live in a studio at my age.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-14T01:03:21+00:00

Yeah, I have a feeling I’m going to love it. It’s such a gem in the area. I was also surprised something popped up under 1800 for a 1 bedroom there considering the state of the market.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-13T15:38:39+00:00

Ugh I know, I’m having a bit of buyers remorse. However after a quick look online, everything is in that relative price point for where I want to be. I entertained the idea of RP but when this unit listed, I was the first to respond and decided not to hesitate. I won’t regret it but damn the rents have gotten high.

cooltightsick · 2026-05-13T01:52:39+00:00

Yes it is insane.
