Nate Yolles Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 (edited) It was fun. The members were very open. I heard some cool stories. I ran into several people that I've worked with in the past. For the Internet chat, I transcribed for Tonino Delli Colli (translated through Dante Spinotti), Bruno Delbonnel and Paul Cameron. I'll go again next year. Edited February 13, 2005 by Nate Yolles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidSloan Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Is there a place to read these chats? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Wendell_Greene Posted February 13, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2005 I enjoyed the open house. I was able to speak at length with the extremely knowledgable Mr. Joe Dutton and meet several other cinematographers whose work I admire. I only wish I spoke fluent Italian so I could have asked Mr. Delli Colli about his work with Sergio Leone on TGTB&TU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Tyler Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I enjoyed the open house. It was fun. I hope you invited everyone you spoke with to join the forum :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Yolles Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 (edited) Is there a place to read these chats? Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They will post them at www.theasc.com. I would also like to say that they have a beautiful collection in their museum. I found it humorous that they have a Cameflex sitting behind glass while I'm out building my reel with that very same "antiquity."

Nate Yolles Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Oh, and you have to love the fact that the clubhouse lights the walls with a dozen or so dedo lights hanging from the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Kevin Zanit Posted February 13, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2005 Yes, I have always loved Dedo lighting. It was a great event. I saw some people from the forum, such as Wendell . . . it was good to see you. Everyone was friendly as usual. Had a great long conversation with Shelly Johnson, a truly nice guy. The only person I did miss was David. I presume he was out shooting (or sick). Kevin Zanit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Wendell_Greene Posted February 13, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2005 I hope you invited everyone you spoke with to join the forum :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been quite active in encouraging people to join this forum and I did indeed mention the benefits I've gain from this forum to several people I spoke to yesterday including ASC President Richard Crudo.

Bob Hayes Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 I had a great time at the ASC. The members are so generous with sharing their time and their knowledge. I didn?t hook up with any cinematography.com members. :-( I spent the last ½ hour walking around reading name tags trying to find you guys and gals. I was as interested in seeing you as seeing the ASC guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Greg Gross Posted February 13, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2005 I got in to chat room and used my real name. I had downloaded and installed Sun/Java as suggested by ASC. Things did not seem to oper- ate as they should have. I could not identify others in chat rooms. I was able to send messages and sent three. Sent message congratulating Mr. Fred Koenekamp,ASC for receiving ASC Lifetime Achievment Award, I sent thank you message to ASC for all that it provides, sent message to thank David Mullen ASC for his tireless efforts here, with helping all of us learn the craft and art of cinematography. I did ask one question about Mr. Koenekamp,ASC; I asked if he was still shooting any films, teaching etc. . I had several messages flash across my message screen, they flickered and moved so fast that I could not read them. Does any- body know if if the the chat room posts will be available to read anywhere? I use Comcast/cable broadband. Greg Gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim van der Linden Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I had a great time. I saw Kevin walking around but didn't get a chance to say hello because my group was always on the move, unfortunately. My highlights were Caleb Deschanel and Robert Elswit. Mr. Deschanel's enthusiasm was really inspiring and it was just fun listening to his stories, and it was really refreshing hearing Mr. Elswit confide that he wasn't quite sure how to approach his next project. It was great seeing how open and enthusiastic everyone was. I also got to speak with Bruno Delbonnel and met a few new people. I can't wait until next year, I'm still giddy :) And does anybody know what the story was on who myself everyone I spoke to SWORE was Rob Richardson wearing a nametag that said something completely different?
