Mirror Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 You sure sink a lot of $ into your kids elementary school plays. Unless you're a rental house that's deep in inventory, that's quite an investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old school Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm surprised you don't recognize New York Street at Universal mirror. That shows what a good job they did on the 3rd version of it. That is my youngest son Cole in the foreground. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thanks for the info. I haven't shot on those streets after they rebuild it after the fire. That's your son, huh? Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 They (NY street sets), are way better than before the fire. It is nice to work with either of my boys now and again. Case is the oldest and booms at times but mostly mixes as a omb doing bts, industrials, lower end commercials, docs, and lately a lot of music videos. Cole is all boom all the time. As you can imagine, we bore my wife into a coma with sound talk when we get together. I tried to talk them out of the Biz but they love it. Oh well.

BWilson Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 This is from Yogyakarta in Indonesia. The temples are believed to be over 2000 years old. I had the pleasure of working with some wonderful local crew, and a non local DOP who's stomach didn't agree with the local food. He wasn't very nice to the local crew and earned the name Mr Poopy Pants. Because karma can be swift and sometimes stinky. It rained the 1st afternoon Forrest Gump style. Up to my ankles in 2 hours. And the mud. At least my skins looking pretty [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Boisvert Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 This year, I've been fortunate enough to land a documentary with some interesting travel. Back in May, I was in the République Démocratique du Congo. My first rule when travelling is to take in the local culture. I started on the plane. It took us 3 days to get to there. Our biggest concern was with the last flight on a small UN plane. 20kg per passenger was the restriction. Production offered to buy extra seats, but priority went to passengers, not cargo. "We'll try to accomodate you when you get here" were the famous last words. So, for what turned out to be the first 3 days of the shoot, this is all we had for a 3 man crew; minimal gear, no personal. We still had 3 hours of driving to do, about half of it like this: There were no hotels where we were going, so we stayed in a convent. Home, sweet home for the next 8 days. The plumbing is just for show. There's no running water. Which explains the 45 gallon drum filled with water outside the bathroom. Grab a pail full, and dump it in the bowl. Gravity takes care of the rest. Our daily commute. The vehicule of choice used by the UN and every NGO is the Toyota Land Cruiser. Anything less would be foolish. Production meeting. Tintin in the Congo was written in 1931. If you drive 10 minutes out of any village, things have not changed at all. Deep in the Congo, 3 boys are playing cards with a deck of nudie pictures, circa 1970's. We were so deep, that in some villages, the younger ones were scared of us, having never seen white skin before. It's Sunday, time for church. It's all about the colours. And more colours. And looking sooo cute. Eat and get gas. Fill 'er up! What had to happen did. We got stuck. Normally, I'd be the first one digging, but here, it's a job opportunity for the locals. So we just stood back and let 'em at 'er. If there's a dozen guys trying to dig a truck out, there'll be 12 best ways to do it. That seems universal. We weren't deep enough in it, so it started pouring. By the time they got us out, there must've been 25 guys working on our truck. Luckily, we were travelling with a UN negotiator. He got them to elect a union rep, and the discussion went on one on one. IIRC, they asked for $60, and got $25. I'm always game to try something once. In this case, there was no twice. You put a what on your head? Marriage wine = Congolese Viagra. What's wrong with this 20? The small rips at the top and bottom render this bill worthless in this part of the Congo. As would series prior to 2003. No one would accept them. Why? Because. I made some new friends. I'm the second one from the right... This is Mr. Fashion, with his slick, shiny suit. And the scar on his forehead, that's Mr. Machete. I scanned once during the entire shoot, and that was really just to take a picture of it. Blk 26 & 25 Company move. This time, it's a monestary. $6/day for a room. If you want breakfast, lunch and dinner with it, the price skyrockets to $15/day. On the very, very long way back home, it was our accompanying vehicule's turn to get stuck, trying to get around an even bigger stuck truck. This one was in deep. Power we've got. It's traction we need. We finally got through, but we weren't home yet. I established a new personal record for a single travel day, without a hotel break, flight cancellation or delay of any kind. Just a long 34.5 hour day of mostly waiting in airports. Still, getting paid to live a great adventure. That's hard to beat. Next, a trip to Turkey and South Sudan last November.
