"Is that the lens where you can have, like, McDonalds in the background?"

[aroundlsu]

So, as some of you know, I have been working on movie sets lately. Don't worry, it's not nearly as glamorous as it sounds. Well, except for all the food they feed you. And except you are really the only guy without a boss and that has nothing to set
up. And no one will ever know you missed the shot. Yeah except for that not very glamorous.

Anyway, my morning ritual is to show everyone the photos from the day before on my iPhone (I really need an ipad). This has made me very popular every morning. Well today I was showing the lead actress some portraits I made of a few of the actors and she immediately commented "Is that the lens where you can have, like, McDonalds in the background and it won't matter?"

I lol'd and replied "Why YES, it is in fact the 135L."

:)

Wish I could show you guys these photos. It's killing me keeping them a secret but I am under an NDA until the movie is released.

[themadman]

Any fast prime will work, but that's a pretty funny comment.

[Abyssgh0st]

Haha, funny comment! So naïve.

When is the movie released? If you can say that.

[aroundlsu]

No idea when the release is scheduled. I imagine a year at least. It's nothing huge. B movie horror but with a few really cool horror actors like Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses).

But it's a full on production with grip crews, 20kw HMI lighting, etc.

Sid Haig is awesome - Captain Spaulding!

[FuturamaJSP]

hmm what's with all those i-product?
Are they really that good or are they just over-hyped?

Does anyone here have an i-Rack or i-Ran?

You mean this iPad? From 2006?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsjU0K8QPhs

NSFW, but funny... especially seeing that this was done in 2006 and Apple still went ahead and released a product named "iPad."

Holy crap! How could I miss that one? :D :lol:
just epic!
I am sure in like 3 or 4 years Apple will release both I-rack and I-ran :D

Yes. ;)

and overpriced too like the other i-products? :D

[TeamSpeed]

I am actively watching for this...

As a tool to display photos to clients, the ipad is awesome. Everyone knows how to use an iPhone to
browse photos. You just hand it to anyone and they can immediately start flipping through pictures.

[Dereksalem]

The iPad really is amazing as a media device. I'm actually typing this out on one now. It's a really great resource combined with the camera connection kit since you can just pop in your sd card and boom instant photo reviewing. Really the best for showing people the pictures you just took.

[CosmoKid]

it would be a lot more useful with a USB port. a LOT.

[asamimasa]

Aside from the Apple tangent,
I know the feeling- I've had numerous comments like "whoaaa, how did you melt away all that other crap?" and am fully aware of the futility of trying to explain DOF :lol:

[JelleVerherstraeten]

Thats very funny!

Typing?

You need the Apple MacBook "Wheel"...

I'll buy almost anything if it's shiny and made by Apple.

[g3org3y]

What about Burger King? :lol::p

[sebr]

Cute comment! Fortunately she is pretty enough to be in front of the camera, not behind :D

[FuturamaJSP]

lmfao!
I guess Apple has reinvented the wheel :D
Looks stylish and cheap too!

All those positive comments have convinced me that i-products are NOT overhyped and overpriced. :shock:

totally sucks compared to iMcBurger

Sounds like Paris Hilton. Is it?

What about those of us who use CF? ;)

[sebr]

I'd say it is Serinda Swan :cool:

To be honest I have no idea who that is, but I came across her name when I googled Sid Haig... :D

[TuanTime]

Well you could hold out for the HP slate later this year that has actual USB slots. :D (I'm grabbing one as soon as they are available.)

[seabee_shooter]

Well informed, albeit not well articulated. That's pretty hilarious actually.

[rvdw98]

and overpriced too like the other i-products? :D

Only for those who can't afford one. ;)

[FuturamaJSP]

How about those who can build their own computers or don't want to use iTune which is essentially a bloatware that puts a remarkable strain on your system resources? ;)

[rvdw98]

I'm not sure, I never experienced such a strain. Perhaps they should learn how to build better computers? ;)

[FuturamaJSP]

They do know how to build good computers. What I was asking is if Macs are relevant at all for those who have good knowledge about computers and who can build computers themselves. It doesn't make much sense to pay premium for something that doesn't seem to be that good even though they are shiny and made by Apple ;)

I think I qualify as being (knowledge)able in this field, and yet I own two Macs and to me they're quite relevant. So either I'm just daft, or perhaps there's something more to these machines than meets the eye.

They're transformers!!??!:eek:

[rvdw98]

They're transformers!!??!:eek:

Much, much worse. :twisted:

[markol]

To the topic, a buddy of ours shot some airplanes for a friend of his and it had the nice bokeh and everything. When the guy showed them to his wife she was all, "the background is kind of blurry" like it was a bad thing :)

[paulisme]

The camera connection kit comes with two parts: one is a SD card reader, and the other is a USB adapter so you can plug in your digital camera and transfer your photos regardless of the type of media your camera uses.

The Spice Girls? :D

I doubt they are considering how much you can upgrade them much less rebuild them :p

You are very clever. It was in fact Serinda whom made the comment.

In other news, just wrapped week 1. Was supposed to have the weekend off but just got hired to shoot a Val Kilmer show all weekend. Portrait sessions with Val tomorrow! Watching Tombstone now... Will report back with pics. No NDA on this show.

[sebr]

Thanks! :D

You actually gave 2 leads. #1 Sid Haig plays in the film. # 2 your location is partly Louisiana. When I googled Sid Haig, I found that one of the films he is preparing takes place in the Bayou. I got the title and checked in IMDB. There seem to be only 1 girl in that film, so it was quite easy...

Pretty girl :D

[RetroBlader]

Pretty girl :D

Lucky for her, since she does not sound like she would have a lot of luck looking for a real job....


P.S. Those clips about i-Rack/i-Ran/i-Pad were just too funny. Maybe I should spend more time in front of the TV than in these forums.

:lol::lol::lol:

It's sad though I have met a lot of pretty girls but most of them either don't seem to have high IQ or are hypocrites who just want to take advantage of people. :(

Yeah, MadTV is awesome! Though I don't watch it TV because there is this site called YouTube :D It's kinda like South Park and Family Guy but less vulgar and "shocking" :)

[iadubber]

I've even had family say the same type of thing (how did you photoshop that blurry) about my old 50 f/1.8 II and that bokeh doesn't even come near the creaminess of the 135L.

[CyberDyneSystems]

... "Is that the lens where you can have, like, McDonalds in the background and it won't matter?"

..."Why YES, it is in fact the 135L."
...

I am going to print this in as effective a Canon marketing font as I can find,
"EF 135mm f/2L: The lens where you can have, like, McDonalds in the background and it won't matter"

...and affix this to the box of my 135mm!

I'll happily accept that designation in the context of that blue phrase in your signature.

Please do! I am most certainly no exception.
