  • Isn’t focus-puller the silliest job ever?
    Mango - Open Movie project - 2012-02-22 18:15:08

    Today meeting with Joris Kerbosch (Director of Photography) and Ian. We went extensively over the script (“Ian, what’s this film about, for real?”), and already discussed plenty of practical filming issues – Joris brings in so much experience! Joris also had his wishlist of important people to add to his crew. On the top of his list: the Focus Puller!

    Me: “So… eh, focal pulling can’t be done by some local monkey?”

    Ok… now I’ve learned that there’s much less good focus pullers than decent DP’s around. He’ll not only “keep things in focus” but will be operating the camera itself in general; with Joris also running around to work with gaffers (light) and grips (cranes, dollies). Assuming we can find all of these… luckily there’s Rob Tuytel – our Film Academy connection!

    Joris and Ian will be meeting next week again to visit some locations in town. I can only give Joris final answers on crews in 2 weeks… when we know a bit more about final budgets.

  • Search Engines and "Personalised Results" - Our self biasing blinders?
    Aligorith's Lair - 2012-02-22 06:04:00

    In the modern day world, search engines are beginning to play an increasingly important role in our lives as they often determine what we get around to seeing, but more importantly, what we don't get to see.

    Eli Pariser discusses this issue in the TED Talk video below:


    This issue was also highlighted by Bruce Tognazzini in an article from July 2010:

  • Christchurch - One Year On
    Aligorith's Lair - 2012-02-21 23:45:00

    In a few minutes to the day, one year has passed since the devastating 6.3 February 22 earthquake struck Christchurch at 12:51pm, forever changing the face of this city.

    Everyone has a story of where they were when the quake struck; what they were doing, who they were with, what happened. Through the media, we've heard countless stories of those who were trapped, injured, or died as a result of those moments of violent shaking.
