This time around I had the pleasure of speak with Whit Norris right before hurricane Irma made her presence known in Atlanta. We mainly focus on some of the projects he's worked on, some gear talk, and what it takes to get started in the industry.

Based on true lies that only Eric Toline, John Garrett and Bruno Strapko can confirm. This is not a salute to the group, but more a statement promulgated by a life long and highly selective strain of Turrets Syndrome. Regards, Ty Ford

http://www.guardian....idents-survival Heavy rain, high winds and floodwaters swept over Louisiana and Mississippi on Wednesday, as Isaac was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm and a fortified levee system appeared to have saved New Orleans from disaster. Rescuers picked up dozens of residents who had ignored warnings to leave low-lying areas, seven years to the day after hurricane Katrina devastated the city. Power lines were cut and debris littered the streets, prompting authorities in New Orleans to declare a dusk-to-dawn curfew. Louisiana officials said they would intentionally breach a levee in Placquemines parish, south of New Orleans,…

Traffic was fairly light today so I arrived at work early and partook of some breakfast with our DP, with whom I had worked on a series about fifteen years ago. He reminded me of this story. The scene was inside a surveillance van outside a building inside which the charcters who were wired were gathering incriminating evidence. The producers in their wisdom thought it would be a good idea to have me in the van, Nagra running, on camera while recording the actual dialogue taking place in the scene. So the camera is shooting the two main actors who are talking to each other, and me, pretending to be the surveillance audio tech but actually doing my day job as the producti…

Sadly, Elizabeth Taylor, one of Hollywood's iconic actresses died today at age 79. Taylor was a legend and was THE super-star actress of the day when I was growing up. I had a once in a lifetime experience of working with Elizabeth Taylor -- is was just one day in 1994. It was on a commercial for Taylor's launch of her perfume "White Diamonds". It was as top secret as it could be. The crew arrived at a parking lot in Hollywood and only then we were given maps to where we would shoot -- which was in Malibu. The commercial was shot by the famed fashion photographer Herb Ritts, who in that day, was almost a big a "star" as ET. Even though Elizabeth Taylor was 62 at …

Just got back from a 3-week gig in Mexico. I'm excited to report that in 110 degrees heat, the Sound Devices 442 and the 744T combo held up like a champ. The RED cameras (3 of them) on the other hand kept overheating, which forced the DP to keep the fans on while rolling on the last couple of days. Even pop-ups over the camera and using ice packs to cool the cameras down did not help. Cameras would turn off or give a warning that they needed to be shut down. And even while fans were off during rolling, the camera would emit a noticeable pitch.

I just wanted to thank Jeff and everyone on this message board for their information and good humor. I don't post very often but I log on a read almost everyday. This board keeps me from feeling all alone while I'm on set. With most of the problems I encounter whether it be gear related or with set politics, it's nice to know that I'm not the first or only person to go through it. I can always count on this board for clarity when I need it. Thanks to all and have a great 2008! Chris

Todays LA Times Calendar section had a so so rehash of Bonnie n Clyde and its place in history. What I enjoyed was the production photo of the actors and crew watching the Arthur Penn talking to Beatty and Ms Dunaway. The looks on their faces, the body language, only the gear is different from many things I have seen on sets. I think that is the boom op wearing headphones and holding a pole with his back turned behind Beatty. The old Mitchell with the parallax viewfinder and camera op next to it. The simple mechanics of film making and all that is outside the frame. Love these type photos and their capture of one moment long ago. CrewC
