Surprise
Last week was my sister Ann's 50th Birthday. Sister Claire and I conspired with Ann's husband, Joe, to surprise Ann by showing up for her Birthday BBQ. We flew out to ABQ the day before and holed up in a cheap motel, getting ready for the next day.
In the morning we called Joe to tell him we were on the way, so he could be busy, therefore leaving Ann to answer the door.
We drove by the house and Ann, Joe and some guy (Mike) are in the front yard wrestling something into a large garbage can. Luckily, we passed by, unnoticed. Luckily it was yard waste. not someone who was wasted in the yard.
It was kind of exciting to to creep up behind them as they all went into the house. I think Joe suggested that everyone go inside for a spot of iced tea. So, Claire and I watch them all go inside from behind Ann's car. Then we wait a few moments and head for the door. We pass by the big bay window in front and I'm really worried that we'll be spotted, but the sheer curtains are drawn, so I'm hoping and praying we aren't seen.
Then, I ring the doorbell. I tell Claire to turn away, so Ann can't see our faces through the peephole. The door opens and we turn around.
Ann is completely surprised. "Happy Birthday!" We have totally blown her mind. She just stands there stunned. She had no idea that we were coming. We give her hugs and say "hi".
"But I was just blogging with you yesteday" Ann said to me. Yep, that's the magic of the internet. We were posting comments here and on her blog, Friday morning, but my plane didn't leave until the afternoon. This was sufficient to lull her into a false sense of security. Claire and I had made believable excuses and then flew out to New Mexico.
The party was a lot of fun. Joe fired up the grill and cooked up a carnivorous carnival of beef ribs, hot dogs, brats, sausage and hamburgers. Very tasty. It was a potluck, so there was yellow potato salad, chip n dip, drinks, veggies, etc.
Claire and I met a lot of Ann & Joe's friends, so it was fun to get to know them a little.
Ann opened her gifts and passed the cards around. Then we watched DVD's. First was Versus, a Japanese Yakuza/zombie/sword/martial arts flick. Most of the story and dialogue was inaudible since everyone was talking and commenting a la MST3K.
We saw something else, I think and then Ann played us Ridley Scott's The Duellists. A really great film based on Joseph Conrad's The Duel, with Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel and beautiful cinematography and lighting by DP Frank Tidy and Gaffer Al Watson. A great test of testosterone. Very under appreciated and I highly recommend it, even though I couldn't hear all of the dialogue because one lady wouldn't shut up throughout the whole evening. I kept raising the volume to try and hint at her to shut up but to no avail. Ann tells me she's notorious for that kind of thing to the point where famous authors at cons tell her, by name, to be quiet.
The rest of the trip was fun, Ann invited us to stay at her house, so Claire and I checked out early and stayed in the extra rooms. I stayed in Eric's room since he's at Fort Buckner digging foxholes and firing "cool weapons".
Joe and I went for a hike on Sandia Mountain. It was quite beautiful, but only two trails were open due to extreme fire hazard. The views were spectacular and I took a lot of photos. The light is beautiful and the terrain is very rugged and hard, because it's so dry, but it has a quality, maybe it's the red-brown color of everything, but I just love it. I spent aquite a few summers hiking around in the New Mexico wilderness, having a blast.
While we visited, there was quite a bit of rain which caused flooding in some areas. There's been a drought in NM for the last ive years, so hopeully the wet weather will help hydrate the area.
Oh, the reson there aren't any photos is because idiot me, I forgot my digicam and had to resort to cheapo Walgreen's reloadable cameras. It is supposed to be loaded with 400 ASA film, but I was going to be outdoors, so we'll see if the 100 speed I loaded in is underexposed, or about normal. I hope it's normal. The 400 looks pretty bad, lousy color rendition and high contrast, but it was also printed poorly, so we'll see. I'm curious to see how the scans look. Ann will send me the film and CD's next week. I'll repost with pix included.

Birthdays?
Ann sent me a review of Eartha Kitt performing at the Cafe Carlyle. I was thinking that we share the same birthday, but a quick internet search found that her B-Day is a little before mine. I was looking for other Aquarians and I was bewlidered to find that Andrew Ridgeley, formery of Wham! has the exact same birthday as me.
I somehow feel cheap and dirty.
On the good side, Paul Newman, Lucinda Williams, Wayne Greztky, Douglas McArthur, Anita Baker, Gene Siskel, Eddie Van Halen, Scott Glenn, Nicolae Ceausescu, Stephane Grapelli, Maria Von Trapp, Bessie Coleman, plus a number of composers, cricketeers, runners and politicians. I know, I'm a bigot, I mainly identify with people from the 20th Century. Abner Doubleday, inventor of baseball was also born on my Birthday, in 1819.
Andrew Ridgeley. Shit. As I read his bio, I find disturbing coincedences. I can't write anymore, Chinese food has arived.

After the after party
Here are some photos from after Ripfest.
Tuesday, or rather Wednesday morning, at about 2am, on my way home from Pioneer, site of the Ripfest after parties, I saw this interesting thing. I then went to see Jess over at Nice Guy Eddie's, was joined by Bengt and we stayed up 'til about 4am, when Jess shut down the bar.
After Wednesday night's screening a bunch of us went out. This is at about 4:30 Thursday morning, at a Karaoke place on 32nd St. Jen was belting out a tune, though I can't for the life of me remember what.
This is about an hour later, 5:20 Thursday morning, after we closed down the Karaoke place. We all went to Cosmos Diner for breakfast.
I have to run to a meeting, but I will update this post with full information and more photos.

Ripfest 8 Shoot
A week ago, we shot our movie musical for Ripfest 8. It went pretty well. Right now Alina, our editor, is finishing up the edit at Earth2Mars post facility. They have graciously let us use their facilities and have freed up Alina to make it all happen.

The day before the shoot, I did a lot of running around and was able to get a head start and dump gear at our interior location. It's an amazing warehouse filled with vintage American cars and all sorts of parts and stuff all over the place. Lenny, the owner, was a great host and used to rent out the cars and other things for film and TV. It took two trips in the Subaru to get dolly, four slices of dolly track, lights, stands, reflectors, gels, distro and other things to Lenny's in Brooklyn. Mat McD was my 1st AC and also helped me schlep gear.

I was worried that there wasn't going to be enough crew for the interiors on saturday, but friends brought (qualified) friends and it worked out pretty well. The Thursday before (2 days before the shoot), I ran into Jon at B&H. I met Jon while we were shooting a docco about a month ago. There were three of us shooting with Sony Z1U's at a tiny club in Harlem, located the basement of an American Legion hall. I invited Jon to join as a swing (grip and electric) because I was still worried that I was going to be short.

For Ripfest, teams are assembled to write, choreograph, shoot, edit and score a film in 16 days. They are given 2-5 actors and 2 locations, 1 interior and 1 exterior. This year, there are four teams in NYC and three in LA.

We are in the post production phase now and things are looking good. Maria, the director, is very happy with the way things look and the palette. So, given the givens, I think we did alright. I was lucky, Maria had some prior experience and our First AD, Derek, knew his stuff and got us through the weekend on schedule. We didn't get everything that we wanted, but we got what we needed.

Sunday was the big day because we had to shoot the opening and the ending scenes outdoors. I was fully prepared to shoot in the rain and brought things to help in case it did, but I think we all prayed for no rain. Somehow, we lucked out. It was cloudy the whole day, but it didn't rain. Thanks God! It poured Monday.

I had Toby Gaffing for me. He and I have worked on abunch of stuff together, mainly doing lights for Chris Webb, when he's shooting. Derek brought Josh, Toby brought Ben, so there were five people working G&E which made things move pretty quickly Saturday. I'm excited to bring these guys along on other shoots. Eddie was able to come in on Sunday and the rest of the crew was able to work sunday too.

I got to use my groovy new Seven Jib compact XL. The opening shot is going to look really great. It starts with the frame looking at green grass and some little yellow flowers dotted around the frame. Then a pair of feet run through the frame, left to right. We pick up on the feet and swing the jib right following, as the girl runs up the hill. As the we follow the girl up the pasture, we see a large mansion and hold there. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use the jib because it's base is made for a 100mm bowl and my Ronford Baker legs have a 150mm bowl.

I bought a bunch of stuff at Home Depot to use as an adapter, while on my way to the the first day of shooting. I didn't get a chance to buy the proper adapter, too much running around and being distracted. Oddly, no one in town had a 150mm - Mitchell bowl adapter to rent. So, there I was on the day of the shoot, trying to rig an adapter. Which didn't work. The Jib's tie down rod was too short. Desparate, I said screw it and just put the base in the bowl. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Ronford has a stepped bowl, so the base of the Seven Jib actually fit nice and snug in the bowl. Placing the jib base inside the bowl, I lost a little travel on the descent, but I could get the jib as high as I needed it to go.
I didn't get too worked up about much of anything during the shoot. I just trusted that things that didn't get resloved would work themselves out. Most of them did. Obviously you bust ass to get everything prepped and locked, but sometimes shit happens, I got lucky.
Knowing that we wouldn't have enough time, or people, I kept things simple in terms of camera and lighting. I designed the lighting so that once it was rigged, nothing needed to be done, other than bring in a few Kinos and Inkies to sweeten the close-ups. I love the fact that I have a big package. Um, I mean my lighting and grip package.
The lighting set up for the garage interior was two medium Chimeras suspended by sash cord over two rows of antique autos and a little help from the fluoro shoplights. I had a few lights set up for fill when we needed coverage, but I just kept things as simple as possible. You can see the Inky we clipped to the top of a ladder, to separate out Ben and Heather from the background.

Maria was great because she totally trusted me and let me do my thing. It was funny because she accidentally walked into the wide shots a couple of times. She does mostly theater, so she like to be close to the actors to watch their performance. I had to keep remininding her to come over to the monitor and watch.
We had to cut a bunch of things, but I think the piece will look good. The story is good and the performances are spot on.
I'm really looking forward to seeing it projected large at the screenings May 23 & 24

Yes, I am a Trekkie
Not a full on, Starfleet uniform wearin', Con attendin' geek, but I watched a lot of Star Trek and two of my sisters loved Star Trek because they were totally into SF. I did go to a convention in Boston and had a lot of fun.
G4TV has a bunch of ads with Star Trek action figures doing the pitch. They're pretty funny. On the page with the video, there are a few other spots. I believe there are about four, or five.
This is Star Trek Cribs.
From youtube. Thanks to my sister Ann for sending a bunch of links, which made me realize, I should post this silliness at once.

Location Scouting
I'm the DP on one of seven teams making a short movie musical as part of Ripfest 8. Yesterday was our launch meeting and the formation of the production teams. I'm really looking forward to this because I've never shot a musical. Three of the teams are on the West coast and we all have the same theme.
We were given two really amazing locations, the interior is a warehouse full of vintage cars and the the exterior is an amazing historical farm. I really like the exterior location. In the warehouse I didn't really shoot anything I liked. Mostly informational snaps.

Busy
Suddenly things picked up, Thursday so I'll be busy shooting the next few days. Mostly interview type stuff, but it's good to be shooting.
I'll try and post some photos. I have some flower pix and some other stuff I'd like to put up.
Had dinner at Hello Berlin, on 10th Ave and 44th St. Very yummy german food and beer, beergarden style. I had the goulash and Pototo panckes, plus another potato dish that came with the entree. I was stufed. We both had Dortmunder Pils. Mat had a sandwich and was also stuffed.
I loaned Mat my 80-200 still lens for something he had to shoot. He was about 2000 feet across a pond from some marker ballons that show the height of some proposed buildings on the site. We were both wondering if the photos would be any good and thought perhaps being so far away was a strategic measure. I'll have to find out how it went. Mat?

Forget 4:20, 416!!
Arri's new very sleek, very quiet, very sexxy new 416 S16 camera. A little bit Arri 235, a little bit A Cam and one hundred yeras of camera technolgy and design. teh hott. Wish I was at NAB.
This and the Ultra 16 primes, and Kodak Vision stocks make for some really great film production.
Here's the 416 pdf. The 416 also borrows a lot from the Aaton, like the side mounted batteries and cat on the shoulder design. The magazine also harkens back to the old BLII-IV magazines.
