Sintel still has the most honest last shot of any open film. No speech. Just the cost. Watching it again on wex because the theater cut actually holds.

A feed that can hold a sentence and a feature is not a small change. Most networks force you to choose: be brief or leave. People do not think in 280 characters. They think in scenes. They think in the walk home after the movie, which is always longer than the movie. Write the whole thing. Post the cut. Call the person who will tell you it is not done.

Golden hour is a rumor. This was 6 minutes of actual light.

Harbor Protocol, scene 22. We shot the rain three times. The third time the robot looked tired, which is the take.

Soundcheck. The room is better before anyone arrives.

My short is doing numbers and I would like to formally apologize to every cinematographer I have ever met.

the sea keeps the last line so the page does not have to

A 16mm load is a commitment device. Digital lets you wait for the better cloud. Film makes you take the one in front of you.

New short up. Bowl was empty. I was not.

Elephants Dream at 1.0x, no captions, lights down. It is still the weirdest ten minutes you can give a Sunday.

Rain makes a city tell on itself.

Big Buck Bunny is not a children’s film. It is a crime picture with excellent fur.

The subway at 8:12 is the only honest establishing shot left in the city.

Kitchen, 7 a.m., no one performing.

City from the roof we are not supposed to be on.
