Laid back and still busy

Beauty in nature at every corner a real pleasure to be at

san francisco

San Francisco , the city of my love draws me to her again, do notice the "dutch tilt" :)

life goes on

winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days, Dec 21st

Time goes on, as One works more and more

been a good 15 days of non stop shooting and learning

interesting day yesterday ,

was on a set where was commended on my calm presence which kept a unit at odds together ,

n the same day got smashed in by a car ( a old german lady driver trying to go around me ) :( oh well

n then of course had a bit of a match up with the landlord flying into a rage, ( was so sudden , that I was more in - oh the poor sod , look old age catching up, as he becomes into a beast and losing control over his seances) anyway here I am happily working on another film, helping with camera, and operating too :)

everything together makes me more certain

being CALM, and KEEPNG CONTROL over ones mental faculty is no mean feat :))

special effects

Special effects:

They are done by

Live action

In camera:

By using model miniature’s

Compositing stills

Painting

By in camera matting (where a part of the frame is taped off, n film is exposed, n then the other part is taped off, n that portion which was previously not exposed is exposed (like a double exposure)

By process projection – camera runs in sync with rear projection, often used for travelling shots.

Post - production

Computer manipulation

Image animation

CGI

Compositing

By in camera matting ( where a part of the frame is taped off, n film is exposed, n then the other part is taped off, n that portion which was previously not exposed is exposed ( like a double exposure)

Low budget movie needs more preproduction as we are trying to lock in all the details before we go in to shoot

If you are using a wide-angle lens or a long lens , if you fill in the frame they both have the same depth of field

Note :

if using video : Green is better color

Red screen is better for glass

Blue screen is great as it is spectrally high.
