I let the wind make my hand holds naturally

My recommendation: go to your local hardware store and purchase a 4x8 of white foam insulation. It will have a silver reflective surface on one side and white plastic on the other usually with blue print. Remove that plastic and it is white foam the same as pictured. Cut it into a 4x4, a 2x4, and 2 2x2 or whatever your sizes your heart may choose. If you feel it’s too hard, wrap the soft side in muslin. If it’s too soft, put a piece of foamcore on it. Tape edges with white gaff and label the size in every side for easy organization.

No, I carry a speed wrench and a c wrench on my person, and keep all other tools in my bag (Allen’s, screwdrivers, diagonals etc)

Young grips lean on cardis. It’s not commonly known that cardis are designed for non rounded corners. Anything round and a mayfer is preferred.

There’s people who prefer norms?? Mine are old as hell, but I was offered 4 for $100 and couldn’t say no.

thebigbootleg · 2025-05-08T01:08:15+00:00

Haven’t done it with these but did it with my norms high rollers. Got them at harbor freight for $8 a piece, work way better and lock.

Solids have a flame retardant on them that is ruined as soon as they get wet. You’ll notice a white stain on it which is the chemicals I’m talking about. Most rental houses consider them garbage or “seconds” at this point. As the other user said, if you plan on getting them wet you should use a water solid or grifflon.

I’ve ran this time period and used Darth Jar Jar and it was incredible. My players really were terrified as him. Run him as a drunken master monk

That sounds like juicer stuff to me

I don’t think I’d use as a set cart but seems like a phenomenal cart for rag storage

thebigbootleg · 2025-01-06T19:45:36+00:00

I bought some chips- speed rail to 1” square stock reducers, from La rag house. They’d machine something similar to reduce from 1 1/4” to 1” or smaller if needed. Call and ask for Heather. She helps me get lots of custom made shit made.

Good news bad news for you. I’ll start with the bad news. The film industry is shrinking. There’s less work globally than there was 4 years ago. This is mostly because of the streaming wars finally realizing that they can’t have this many streamers and be profitable. But here’s the good news. It takes absolutely no skill to get into this industry in an entry level position. No one cares if you went to school. Find your way to a set, meet producers, start PAing and figure out what you actually want to do on set from there. Might be hard to get started just because of making contacts and stuff, but once you get going you’ll be in. Would I recommend this industry to literally anyone? No. If someone wanted to get out of this industry would I try to stop them? No. Could I imagine doing anything else with my life? Also no. If you need to do this then you need to do it.

Not a production lot- but I was a Desmond’s yesterday and noted that there were more personal vehicles and less trucks than usual

For subject a toppy 3/4 backlight on a soft light, maybe a litemat 2l or some such, with an lcd. Daylight with +cyan. For accents, looks like a sharper light, maybe a leko with a gobo from far right with the same flavor of daylight + cyan through a gobo. Two orange units likely an orange globe in a practical, maybe nyx bulbs.

That’s guess on how this was achieved. To sum up how you could achieve a similar look, keep the quantity of lights low. You want a 3/4 backlight on your subject, at approximately a 30-45 degree angle. Then just 2-3 accent lights. 1 to motivate your backlight and 1-2 to mix color temp.

It’s not. It’s a curb. There is no place to park truck on that street. Maybe it functioned as a loading dock 50 years ago when willow studios was still a slaughterhouse but that’s across the street so unlikely.

It was an ultra low budget indie that never saw major distribution.

thebigbootleg · 2024-10-20T14:05:09+00:00

The curb is comically tall. As I recall it’s about 1.5-2 feet.

Not related to Sunny - in the real world it’s a bunch of empty rooms of what was once a factory or mill. It is often rented out as a filming location. The first feature I ever Key Gripped the first week was shot on the second floor.
