AC Work

Had a busy week with some AC work. Did a day on a short film with DP Gordon Yu. Was first assistant with a 5D Zeizz ZF package. Fun shoot great crew. Only issues was the focus marking for the Redrock Follow Focus was broken so had to use some grease on the lens. Also 100mm with no focus ring and just pulling by the barrel at night wide open is a pain in the ass.

Finished up today on a spec commercial for NYU graduate student. I was the 2nd/Loader, was working with the Arricam ST and grands. NYU has a sweet deal they give there graduate students 2,000 feet of 35 to shoot a spec commercial with and rent out a whole ST package from CSC. They had a full set of MK II's, two Ultra Primes (180mm and 20mm) and a Cooke 25-250. Along with all the needed AKS.

Also learned that NYU owns a complete 435 package which can only go out to graduate students. I wish SVA did some cool things like that to get students excited about emulsion.
