35mm or HD?
Yesterday, I assisted DP Bobby Bukowski in shooting camera tests for the feature Chronicle he is currently prepping. We tested the Arri Alexa vs. Arricam ST in different conditions: driving in a car, movements in the streets, night and low light, contrasts etc. Let’s see which one they will pick!

Let’s shoot in RED!
>Andrew Shulkind offered me to work together again with the jib on a music video for Partizan. The overnight shoot took place in a mexican grocery store in the valley. The exciting part of the project was the camera: the RED! The one we got has the serial number #30 and is obviously still not 100% ready. No viewfinder and most of the outpouts don’t work yet. But the camera was very easy to balanced on the remote head of the Jib and we didn’t have any bugs or problems.

Melrose and Gower
Last week I finally joined the Local 600 and, almost in the same time, got my first job on an union show. This is a new TV series produced by HBO and called In treatment, with Gabriel Byrne (Usual Suspects) as a psychologist seeking refuge from his patients by getting his own therapist… The sets where most of the action takes place are on Stage 25 at Paramount Studios.
