Mike Welle Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Last night at the bar I got rejected by a girl but I had a good comeback. I said to her, the cognac, sliding down my throat, with the orange glow off the bar--I said to her: "Darling, you are about as warm as a Zeiss lens." She stared back at me with her brown eyes, her hair glowing in the amber light, she smiled and left... Actually none of this is true. Farewell my noble lords, Mike Welle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Bass Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Perhaps not, but clearly you were drunk when you posted this. Let me add a few: "you are as warm as an HMI with a full CTB" "you are as warm as a PD150 shooting outside with the 3200K white balance preset on" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Welle Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Just make sure your second choice doesn't hear you! Well, I thought I would do what Chris Elliot did in "Groundhog Day." I'll be sitting in the bar whispering in a woman's ear: "Most people think I just hold the camera. There is so much more to it...I mean, it is an art form!"

Josh Bass Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 She says: "Oh. . .so you set up lights?" "No, we have grips and electricians to do that." "You move the camera around?" "No, that's what the dolly grip is for." "You compose the shots?" "Well, the director's really responsible for that" "You decide how the sets look?" "Uh. . .that's what production designers and art directors do." "What do you do again?" "Um. . .um. . .fu**. . ." I kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Neary Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 :) OK, that's a hard one to follow- but this is a true story: I was mulling over lighting gear before a project with my gaffer (on the phone) and at some point he goes "yeah, open face blondes are good for bouncing...." and his girlfriend in the background yells "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT???"

Ashley Dean Myles Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 A few months ago I was at a music showcase in Gainesville, Florida and these two guys come up to me at the bar. One of them opens with (drunkenly), " You're beautiful. I'm a documentary filmmaker working on a piece about some starving kids in Africa." and then launches into some daitribe about a feature he worked on (The Hawks are Dying) as a second assistant editor. I let him go on for a few minutes, highly amused. He even introduced his friend, an actor, as having starred in the aformentioned film. When he was done, I looked him square in the eye and said, "Pleased to meet you. I own a film production company." He promptly shut up and walked away, dejected. This was, of course, after he asked if he could send me his demo reel. Ashley Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Fernando Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 (The Hawks are Dying) Not just the Hawks! :) "My camera's rolling, why don't you bang my sticks." (Too far?) They call me 'Tripod'. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Wengenroth Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 You guys are making me blush. I just say, "Yeah...I'm a camera assistant. I work well in the dark and I'm always focused on what I'm doing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
