So I got into Mole a bit behind schedule, around 8:45- I was soooo tired. But Edwin, the DP from the long-dayed shoot I helped on, brought us Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles from breakfast at Mole! It was yummy!
Local 600(the camera/cinematographer's Union in LA) stopped by to pick up the equipment they were borrowing for a workshop at Kodak that I was hired on for. Fred Goodich, the professor from AFI who always asks too much of Larry's hospitality at Mole, asked if Larry had anyone he could spare for the workshop... so Larry said that he would have to pay me. It feels good to have your boss watch out for you- all bosses out there: take notes.
A cool $100 just to play with some lights and try out the new Arri 416 camera that isn't even on the market yet with a top cinematographer! So I did that until 5:30... and it involved some manual labor and heavy lifting, but I miss that, so I don't mind getting paid for it. So I did that from 1:00 to about 5:30 and then I have to go into Mole tomorrow for the continuation of this Local 600 Camera/lighting workshop. I am gonna have to get there extra early to clean up the mess of gear just piled on the floor(what we returned today for the workshop at Kodak) so I will be at Mole around 7AM... leave at 6...
............get up at 5...
..................................... ... 4... 3(yawn)... 2... 1...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
PhillM tip-of-the-day:
When ordering or renting Kinos or any other type of fluorescent lighting, it is always a good idea to get both tungsten(3200 K) and daylight(5600 K) tempered bulbs. This way you can instantly change the color temperature of your source without loosing your footcandles by having to add a color correction gel.
