Small SC

Today was a small class... totaling at 4 people, all USC 1st time production students. It was actually a lot of fun, it is so much easier to teach people who are just starting out then people with experience. Larry and I had a fun time, especially since we ended up having a small Mole reunion with all Larry's former students just popping up randomly. Edwin showed up, Chris Babers popped in, Chun Ming stopped by, and Christy from Chapman drove up to help teach the class, too. Even better is that she asked me to come out and co-gaff her project that she is doing at school.
I then spent the remainder of the day(from noon on) getting things ready for tomorrows class. Fred and the AFI 2nd years are coming in to learn from guest ASC, AFC member Denis Lenoir. Fred and Denis stopped by to check out the stage and inspect the equipment, Denis is such a nice guy, we ended up talking for a while, he remembered my name when he left(good sign!) with Fred.
I got home, did the dishes, and relaxed in front of the TV watching Studio 60! Time for bed, call time for me is 8AM for AFI.

PhillM tip-of-the-day:
On the color temp scale, a change in color temperature in the lower end of the scale(3200K/ tungsten) will register as a greater change then a change in temp in the upper part of the scale(6500K/daylight). So a few hundred degrees when working with HMIs won't change your color all that much, however, a few hundred degrees shift while working in Tungsten will dramatically change your color temp. So be aware of your color temperature, they play a huge part in how your film is effected.
