We started the day with my arrival at Union Station downtown; how I got from the train to the curb with 2 heavy camera cases, a big duffel bag and suitcase is another story. The dog apparently ate Phil's suit so we made a quick stop at the Goodwill on Figueroa and 30th to put together an impromptu wardrobe.
Sue me? Sue EVERYBODY...
Flannels are so 90's; hey, Nirvana is playing at the Forum!
Once we built the camera it was off to shoot around downtown. First stop: the Courthouse! Parking was actually quite easy to find, and after schlepping the equipment a bit we squeezed off our first shot of the day.
Where's Waldo?
Perry Mason in the flesh.
Where the heck is my client?
NO CAMERAS IN THE COURTROOM.
After that we raced off to the South Bay area to click off a few more clips. I love film!!! So does my shoulder. OUCH. Can anyone say, "Occupational hazard," three times really fast? Anyhow, we found a quiet spot with some shade; it was about an f-22 in the clear even exposing for ASA200 (we were using up the last of some old Russian stock from the 90's we had on hand).
Don't ask, OK?
No, really. Don't ask.
Anyhow, it all went really well and we even had a chance to shoot the sunset off Manhattan pier for an insert.
Calculating f-stop and correcting for wind, density altitude and rotational variation.
