When you record a long YouTube video and don’t notice that the overhead mic is slowly sagging into frame so you have to reshoot it… 😞

I found what appears to be a production still where you can see there’s no background in the mirror, only black, so it was probably done because there was no set back there.

Very puzzled by this bit in ”The Spiral Staircase”. She’s standing in front of a mirror but in the wide shots it’s clearly not a mirror but a flat picture (without her reflection). Very obvious when camera moves. What could be the reason for this?

If you didn’t get that Bogart is evil in ”The Petrified Forest” the way they frame him against the background may give some subtle hints…

The thing about mixing sound on a great stage is that you know you’ll never hear the movie sounding this good again.

Lately I’ve tried to write down my dreams when I wake up in the middle of the night. I don’t want to forget any potentially brilliant ideas when I go back to sleep.
Here’s my note from last night:

Wait, Andrew Keir turned 41 years old while shooting Quatermass and the Pit?! Professor Quatermass is a year YOUNGER than me? But he’s an old man. Oh no…

She and the team were fantastic! I kept my ideas pretty loose and mostly just let them do their magic. Really loved Louise’s idea to take inspiration from ancient Greek theater masks for the minions. For Shazam I wanted to try and go a bit more modern this time since we went old school in the 1st.

Today’s comics haul. My favorite thing is to take chances on some comics from the small indie/self published section. It’s nice to be surprised. Especially with really indie comics where you can get unfiltered and unique voices straight from the source. It gets weird sometimes.

Watching older sci-fi movies that take place now is so disappointing. Sure, they got the dystopia right but where’s all the cool sci-fi stuff we were promised?
