star struck
Well well well....it's been a slow weekend. Friday we had a class offered to us by the film we will be working on next week. We learned a lot about lighting and cameras. Mostly we learned about the Redrock 35mm adapter; basically this thing is placed on a ditigal camera and makes it look like a film camera. It's a pretty expensive piece of equipment, but of course it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a film camera. I hate to say it, but I really think I learned more in that day then I did in two semesters of ADVANCE FILM PRODUCTION I and II at UNA. The films director is a pretty cool Christian. The company is Jargon Entertainment WEBSITE they have some really nice facilities and also a lighting company based out of their building; comes in handy when making a film. They called me today and asked if I could come in tomorrow to help with some pre-production work.
Saturday we didn't do a thing. We went to eat somewhere downtown and saw a couple of films being made. We drove a little east and saw a community of homeless, it was pretty sad. There were tents and buggys everywhere, one street looked like a block party because it was so full. We saw someone peeing on the street, ON THE STREET, not aiming at a wall but on the sidewalk peeing into the road. Of course as we parked a guy asked us for money. It always seems as though people that need money are from the south. They tell us their story without asking our permission and when we tell them we're from the South as well, we're brothers. It's an instant connection. After dinner we went to McDonalds to get some ice cream and there was a guy in servere pain laying in the middle of the drive through. We had no idea what to to, the manager came out and got the parking lot officer over to assist. No one knew what was the matter with him, it looked as if he was having a heart attack. So after we knew that we were no help, we back up and went inside. We were the only White Americans, and there were at least 50 people in line. So we left and tried the drive through again; this time they had pulled the man into the parking lot. We concluded the night with an episode of LOST, well maybe two episodes.
Today we got up and did nothing until this afternoon. We went to work out and then to church at 7 pm. Moasic was really good, always, then we went with some friends from the Bible Study to eat. We went to this place called "The Grove", it was really cool, kinda like a BIG outdoor shopping center, really nice. We went to a place called Wood Brick, I think, kinda like a nicer Logan's. A lot nicer. Anyways, Mr. Adam Sandler was sitting behind us. Yeah that was cool seeing him. He was with his wife and kid, I guess. We had a table of 12 I think and he told us "Bye" as he left. I guess he knew we were kinda looking. A lot of the guys at the study work at the Beverly Hills Hotel as valets and they see him like everyday, as well as a lot of other celebs. So that concluded the night.
Tomorrow I'm goin into Jargon at 10 am and Tuesday we're meeting with A.D. Oppenhiem for lunch. He was the director for the "Keeping up with the Stiens" film. Jason Banks is coming ohttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.spell.gif
http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.spell.gifn Tuesday as well, that'll be a hoot. Oh and I bought a camera, a good one so now I'm sure I'll post pics more. It should be here by Thursday. Well hope all is well is everyone. I haven't talked to my boss Ronnie yet, but I'm pretty sure he has a son-in-law now, so congrats to him. He had a great idea for the stage of the wedding, so I really want to see some pictures. I get alot of ideas for The Well out here, I'll have to jot them down so I don't forget. RAMBELING - goodnight
every time i try to spell check, my computer freezes up - just an excuse not to do it
