Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted December 10, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted December 10, 2007 Spent the weekend seeing "Diva" at the Nuart and Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" on DVD... and creating a website, after much prodding from my agent. I used a simple program for the Mac called Rapidweaver. Don't have my reel on it yet, but put some frames from my movies on there. The site looks the worst on Internet Explorer I've noticed, and then best on Safari... Anyway, check it out: http://www.davidmullenasc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK Mohr Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Looks good! The only thing I really noticed from an interface standpoint is how large the menu is. It's about twice as tall as it needs to be. I like how simplistic it is though, letting your work speak for itself is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do you think you'll have the reel up? I have to recut my reel, it's three years old. The problem is getting clips from the distributors. The bigger the project, the harder it gets.

Premium Member John Brawley Posted December 10, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted December 10, 2007 I have to recut my reel, it's three years old. The problem is getting clips from the distributors. The bigger the project, the harder it gets. I usually try to build it into my contract or deal memo that I get a Digibeta or HDCAM SR copy which I pay for myself (depending on the delivery format That way I get a high quality copy for my reel and they can't complain about the cost. This may be harder to do on a bigger film where the piracy issues are more pressing. The stills look fabulous David. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger the project, the harder it gets. You don't need a Reel... but if it makes you feel better chop it up, throw it on there. I need to make a site. Good Job David!

Jon Rosenbloom Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) "The Sophomore" is showing at Sundance? Nice. Didn't think it would be finished so soon. Time flies! I noticed "Northfork" is shot all on tungsten film. I've thought this could simplify my own projects, but I don't want the extra glass, and I also worry that I'm losing a filter stage to the 85. I guess you haven't had those issues? Edited December 11, 2007 by Jon Rosenbloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted December 11, 2007 Author Premium Member Share Posted December 11, 2007 Since using ND's outdoors is fairly unavoidable, you can use 85/ND combo filters outdoors. If you want perfect color reproduction it is safer to use the 85, but the truth is that it looks OK without it -- there is some loss of red saturation in the faces and correcting the shot completely back to normal can give it a slightly brown overtone in the shadows. I didn't use the 85 when using the Fuji Eterna 500T indoors in daytime on "The Sophomore" -- it corrected fine in the D.I. suite in my tests. I generally choose that technique -- no 85 filter -- when I'm planning on a cooler bias anyway to the timing (like on "Northfork" or the first half of "Akeelah and the Bee"). If I were doing a sunny warm desert movie, I'd use the 85 or daylight film to get more red saturation. "Barry Lyndon", "Excalibur", and "Heat" are examples of movies shot on tungsten stock with no 85 correction in daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, now I know who to contact so I can get an agent, thanks! :D R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Fernando Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Not trying to nitpick (honest), but I think you mispelled 'Laurence Fishburne'. Don't know how much that would matter (don't even know how I noticed it, to be honest). It looks good. Stills/frame grabs look awesome - especially the 'Northfork' stuff. Nice job.

Ted Chu Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi David, Love both of those movies, watched them a few times. Your web looks good. I prefer not linking spots on a reel but rather keep them as individual pieces, ie., producers don't have much patience. Look at what I created for myself and John Lindley, http://tedchu.com and http://johnlindley.com I used Flash Video MX to convert the spots from DVCAM to flash media.

Is Rapidweaver available through apple or is it share? How did you pull your stills to the website? Finally, did you have to get your domain name first? I'm trying to set up a website, and yours looks like a good template. TIA Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted December 20, 2007 Author Premium Member Share Posted December 20, 2007 It's a simple Mac software: http://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/ You can drag and drop text and photos (jpegs usually) into the template and you can select text or photos and make them links into other pages or to other sites. You have to arrange your own web hosting. I got my space / domain name at Hostway: http://www.hostway.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Jenkins Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Looks great David. I went through the task of learning GoLive for mine and while it's nice to have more control? It's SOOOOOOOOOooooooo much slower. Urg. But I like yours. I've never seen Northfork, but now I want to. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
