Guest dpforum1968 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Like I said, one can be anti-gay and not be affected by the gay mafia in Hollywood. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Elhanan Matos Posted December 16, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted December 16, 2004 Well what kind of bud-jet do you need to shoot a feature film with the Viper? A pretty big one, the Viper is not an ENG style camera, and requires a lot of equipment to go with it on set. As its not up to a filmlook,would it not be better to shoot with a box with a hole in it? I mean look how crappy,ugly Collateral looked. I don't believe Collateral looked all that ugly, sure it wasn't great, but it sure was different and refreshing. I loved the scenes in the taxi cab that looked out at the LA sky. Maybe I could learn aboutthe linux format in a few days and still shoot with the camera and come up with a good image(images) and not a crappy look? No. You can't learn linux in a few days, linux is not a format, it's an operating system. And on the D.Mag its all command line operations. Plus, I don't believe it's the DP's job to operate the D.Mag or the Viper, that is the DIT's job. While using a box with ahole in it I have photographed the following people in the past: Lee Marvin, Johnny Mathis,Ed Begley,Rowdy Yates,The Turtles,Billy Jean King,Rod Mckuen, Glenn Yarborough,John Travolta,Roy Hargrove. I've had no complaints from anyone about the look the box with the hole in it gives. What does this have to do with my last post? I have not once bashed film on this thread or forum! I think film is a beautiful format, there is no reason for me not to like it, but just because I like HD doesn't mean I don't like film, I have worked with both formats, I know how to shoot with both formats. Just a word of advice to everyone out there; bashing any format out there whether it's film, digital, or video will not help you further your career.

Guest fstop Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 It's a satire post regarding the stereotype that gay people stay away from "techie stuff" like cinematography. And steer more toward "gay" jobs like art direction and acting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How relevent in a forum that has a huge David "Wendy" Watkin following, an icon who made that stereotype redundant (along with others) before most of us were born :huh: Youch, such cutting, "biting", satire- oh, and Watkin had been working in Toronto for years on Norman Jewison pics and you never complained... So we're done with film vs. video and now it's low opinions of everyone in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggip Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 This is one of the most childish conversations I have ever seen on a message board. And I can´t see how sexuality got mixed in the conversation. I think some people have to be more open minded on this forum. A true and a good artists never blames the tools. Wheter your using film or video it´s your challange to make it look as best as it can. Come on people.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kai.w Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 That's ok Mel Gibson, Arnold S, and myself, can maintain our anti-gay views and still succeed in the film business. Mel Gibson tossed a poofer right out of a window in his Braveheart, ooooo boy! Did he ever hear about it from Barbara Streisand for that one!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh... in which century are you living in? If it was'nt for these insults I would not respond to this OT stuff, but I just want to show that there are others that oppose the crap you are talking. And who the hell is Mel Gibson? Well, I stop it here for me and put you on my virtual ignore list. thanks -k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dpforum1968 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 But I'm not an American Phil Rhodes. I am a British citizen, yes one of you! I'm from Yorkshire. My mother had this brainless idea to move me to socialist crappy Canada when I was two. Sadly I can not vote in American elections, therefore I could not formally support Mr. Bush. But if I was an American I'd be first in line to cast my ballot for him. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that's only because you're a very considerable idiot. On the up side, it does mean that the US does have one British supporter for its foreign policy! Marvellous.

Premium Member John Sprung Posted December 16, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted December 16, 2004 No. You can't learn linux in a few days, linux is not a format, it's an operating system. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It depends if you're old enough to remember much about DOS. Forward slash (/) instead of backslash (\) and a bunch of different two and three letter commands, and you can be up to speed as an end user. If you want to write code for it, of course, it's a much longer learning curve. Forget everything you ever knew about INT 21h. -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dpforum1968 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I'm right in there with the millions of British idiots who support Tony Blair. Tony Blair being the number one supporter of George Bush in the entire world, and he's YOUR PM. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dpforum1968 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Phil I am quite puzzled. Just how many "very considerable idiots" are there in the UK? Reuters is reporting the following today.... "Polls suggest Blair should win again in 2005, probably with a reduced parliamentary majority. Bookmakers Ladbrokes left their election odds unchanged, making Blair a hot favorite. " Since Blair is like George Bush junior and his number one lap dog, then you and rest of the people in the UK must be quite daft indeed.
