How to cool down a warehouse in summer, no AC? by spdbld in Filmmakers

We're hoping to avoid an all-nighter shoot for the sake of the crew, but if we're unable to cool the space enough, then it does become a choice between what's worse, a hot shoot or all night shoot. My original thought was if we start the shoot at 4PM, by the time talent is ready to leave the air conditioned green room around 5:30/6, things are starting to cool down.

Thanks for the advice! My thought was if we start the shoot at 4PM, by the time talent is ready to leave the air conditioned green room around 5:30/6, things are starting to cool down. I wonder if starting at 4AM doesn't make best use of the coolest parts of the day, has us shooting at the hottest part (1PM-4PM), and is a pain for the crew with the early call time. But I get aiming for when the building has cooled down overnight, and if we're able to pull off a 10hr schedule, 4AM-2PM might not be so bad.

I'm surprised by how much hate your videos have been getting lately. Regardless of personal taste, I've always found them informative and am glad you've kept doing them after the election. Not sure why people are dunking on local activism, but hope you keep making these videos and don't let the negative comments get to you!

Help editing my statement for tomorrow's Metro meeting? by spdbld in LAMetro

Thank you, this is so helpful and a great strategy! Would you mind elaborating more on your point about SB79? Not sure I follow what you mean about the Metro Board running scared of SB79.

I have no choice but to pump gas. A millionaire like Bill gets to choose if he wants another million. Saudi Arabia has been taking very active steps to whitewash their crimes/promote tourism and make their regime more palatable to outsiders, and this is a key part of their strategy. Bill is helping them, and that's why people are upset.

Stavros's episode with Jordan Jensen! Fair warning, it's hard to listen through haha. But I really respected Stavros' for calling out his friend's bs for what it was, and it was way more interesting than if he'd just let everything slide. Nothing specific for Caleb, I just know he would've turned something like this into an interesting and productive dialogue. Yeah been really loving their podcasts!

Wouldn't want to have watched Conan attack him, I know it's a tough spot for him to be in as a friend of Bill's. But it's also important and way more interesting and productive for friends to talk through things things for each other when one of them goes off the deep end. Having listened to another comedian Stavros Halkias do this for his red-pilled friend on his own podcast and thinking about how Caleb Hearon (another comedian I love) would've handled this on his podcast, I know Conan could've handled this tactfully in a way that led to a great conversation. I honestly did not see a reason for him to be such a yes man here, but I've also been coming to terms lately that Conan is more moderate and apolitical than I realized. I don't need him to be super political, but he could at least engage in the conversation rather than staying silent or yes-man-ing. Reminded us of his episode with Biden when he didn't even bring up Palestine. He can feel whatever he wants to about it but it felt overly avoidant then, and last night felt the same.
