Union Special machines, skilled people, great fabrics! -
Todd, a little bit about the general history; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Heart_(Brand)
From the front page of the website another video that hides well; http://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/productionReally great questioning :). Giles I'm not sure if you've been following Kyle@TFH's updates on their processes, I think you've covered it off pretty well (and gone further
), but not a bad comparison. #exciting. -
Very excited for this G.
Snowy, that is a great video.

I would like to congratulate and thank the cinematographer for Man of Steel for almost single-handedly ruining a movie with camerawork alone. I didn't think it was possible but there you have it. The latest mutation of cinema verite, where you as a cameraman must pretend you have palsy when you zoom, focus, or move the viewframe.

Didn't bother me at all, but I know loads of folks who hated Cloverfield and thought the camera work was awful whereas I thought it was genius.
I guess it's not everyones cup of tea, but it's a style I quite like.

Turns out it's the guy from Fast and Furious, a Transformers movie, and the forthcoming Wolverine flick (damn):
While Snyder worked with cinematographer Larry Fong on both 300 and Sucker Punch, the cinematographer for Man of Steel is Amir Mokri whose previous works include Fast & Furious, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and The Wolverine, which is scheduled to be released in July 2013. That shift in talent shouldn’t change Snyder’s individual convictions though, and we can expect something extremely stylised, even if it resists the temptation to go full comic book.

If you're going to fire someone, have the common courtesy to do it face to face. I have no use for people so cowardly that they fire a person via text message.
The woman that we "share" a nanny with fired her today in said manner.

This is the most uplifting Rant page I've read in quite a while. Can't wait to see the outcome. It will be great to reference when someone wonders what makes $400 jeans really $400 jeans.

Have they met you?

Was taking out the garbage this morning to find a two foot long black snake wrapped around my gutter
Call the police (standard procedure in NYC). They tell me to call the Department of Natural Resources. The DNR tells me to call a private contractor to have it removed…I'm like "don't I pay taxes for this?"
Call animal control, and was informed that 1) there are poisonous snakes in Maryland, and this could be one 2) they do not remove the animals and 3) I cannot harm the snake as they are protected by Federal law
Wondering if there is any level of common sense in this state
The contractor eventually called me back and told me that the snake I described is not poisonous, but I'm still annoyed. She did tell me that I'm allowed to open fire on it if I feel like my safety is at risk, there is a provision within the law for that
