Jamie Metzger Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I was thinking about this again today; do we still have interest in having one? How do you think you could help? What would you like to have there regarding food/activities...etc Do you think this is a bad idea? Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Burgers/Dogs/Steaks, etc... Activities wise, Movie tech/DP trivia. We could do some DP/AC olympics, in honor of the Summer Olympics coming up: Timed mag loading. 50 yrd. dash, carrying a tripod, setting it down then balancing. Throwing a sandbag and guessing the distance. Looking through a camera viewfinder & quietly guessing the focal length. Discus (with a roll of gaffer tape) those are my ideas for now.

Great ideas, Jon. If it rains and we have to go inside, how about "guess the footcandles?" Winner of the DP/AC olympics gets a free padded tool belt!

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted June 23, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted June 23, 2008 > how about Canvey Island when the tides out Absolutely! Just bring your body armour and we can picnic among the burned-out Ford Fiestas. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Winner of the DP/AC olympics gets a free padded tool belt! Sweeeeeeeeeeet And medals in the form of 1000' canisters on a ribbon. I have a gold one, a silver one (print stock), and we could just use a 400' canister for bronze :) Edited June 23, 2008 by Jonathan Bowerbank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Metzger Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 This is going to happen. Preparations are all ready in progress. Keep throwing idea's out there and getting people interested in coming. We should all decide on a date within the next few weeks. The location will be at the Alta Plaza Park in Pacific Heights.

Jonathan Bowerbank Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Alta Plaza's nice, quite central and especially convenient for you Jamie. Yeah, we should definitely set the date then get the word out there to as many people as we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Metzger Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Convenient yes, but it has amazing views. I figure with a crowd of cinematographers, we would have some pretty sweet pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 but it has amazing views. Indeed :) Let's do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I've been spreading the word and getting some input, and a lot of people seem to really be into the idea of having a cine picnic, and having some Grip/AC Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
