We just packed up the new much smaller lighting kit after testing it. 250W bulbs are bright. Ouch!
I've got a commercial to shoot on Sunday, so that should be fun. Although, it could be interesting if I decide to bring the absinthe tomorrow night, because I heard it takes a long time to wear off. I can see my thoughts now... "Pan left.... slowly... zoom... slowly... oooooh, fairy!" Hopefully I'll get enough decent shots to at least fix it in post.
And, speaking of shoots, a member of my business network wants to hire me for a show that he's pitched to a national cable network (I can't disclose which or what the show involves), and it looks like they're interested in picking it up! He sent me the pitch tape, and it's totally something that I can do. We're getting together on Monday to discuss it, and then we'll be meeting with execs from the network in the next couple weeks. In the meantime, I found some local subjects that are related to the show, so I'm going to go shoot and edit those next week and use that as a little demo reel to show that I can handle it. If I'm awarded the gig, it will be a 22-episode deal, with international release!
