Follow the White Rabbit

So this morning I got to catch up on some much needed sleep. Andrew and I went to check out our new apartment and sign paperwork and all that. It is sooooo awesome! You can see the Hollywood sign from our street and it is literally around the corner from Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles!!! Plus it's within walking distance of The Arclight, the Kodak, and Mann's.

But enough about that, now on to the reason for the title of this blog. I came into Mole around noon today and helped out on a shoot with some AFI students under the guide of Bill Pope, ASC. Yes, the same Bill Pope that DP'd the Spiderman trilogy and the Matrix trilogy, not to mention a few little films like Bedazzled, Clueless, Blank Check, Fire In the Sky, and ARMY OF mother-f@$#ing DARKNESS!!! He was so cool; very calm and mellow... a great teacher.

Ok, time for the PhillM top-of-the-day:
D-max is the technical term for when something "blows out" or goes white because it is over-exposed. Put a Yellow or Straw colored gel over headlights to make the edges yellow/orange to define them as headlights to the audience.


Oh, and Hi to Laura's mom!
