I came into Mole today around 11:00, cleaned up the sound stage a bit and hung out until Fred and Allen Daviau stopped by. Allen is a great guy, very funny, loves telling stories. We discussed what they would do for the class, what equipment to have ready, all between stories of Allen and Spielberg on E.T. or The Color Purple or Empire of the Sun. It was amazing all the stories he told about his films.
I got home and started watching The Third Man before re-heating some left over pizza and doing a bit of cleaning. Matt Elium just called me, he and his dad are going to try and stop by Mole tomorrow evening, they are down here shooting a pilot episode of this TV show idea they are working on. If they can't stop by Mole, then we are at least going to go to Roscoe's for dinner.
Some behind the scenes footage of the basement scene.
PhillM tip-of-the-day:
Use paper loads to calculate the total amperage of your lights, this way you leave a bit of a safety space between your actual amperage pull and what your equipment can handle. For example, use the following table as a guide:
1,000W= 10 amps
2,000W= 20 amps(a modern household circuit maximum is 20 amps)
5,000W= 50 amps
10,000W= 100 amps
