Chasing Light
Welcome. This is where I share my work and also the work of others, those that inspire me, the weird, the great, the unusual.
It is a goddamn marvel this life. Take a look.
Stanley Kubrick | Polishing A Turd
I was in my cutting room around 1 in the morning, and he strolls in smoking a cigarette and says, “Can I watch?”
Leica Sighting | Kong: Skull Island
Brie Larson can be seen using an M3 with a 35 Summaron with removable goggles and an MC meter. A very sharp observer noticed that the lens f3.5 lens has a serial number 1488,xxx, which is correct for the Summaron.
Raising Arizona | Hi’s Letter to Ed
My dearest Edwina,
Tonight, as you and Nathan slumber, my heart is filled with anguish.
Werner Herzog | On Celluloid
Celluloid? No, I am not nostalgic. I still love it. Of course I love it. But digital film making has helped me to work faster and to work less expensively. So that’s why all of a sudden I’m coming out with four films, all of them ready for distribution. The system of distribution is too slow for my output.
Akira Kurosawa | Group Compositions in Seven Samurai
All of his films contain his usual bravura compositions, but it is with his ensemble films like Seven Samurai and High and Low that you get to see Kurosawa craft such classic fluid group compositions, sometimes composed of a dozen actors, never crowded or confusing, always clear and focused, the menagerie acting like a visual chorus.
Constantine | Tilda Swinton as Gabriel
There are few things finer than this casting choice and styling.
Arthur C. Clarke | The HAL – IBM Myth
And I’ve been trying for years to stamp out the legend that the word, that the letters HAL was derived from IBM by one letter displacement.
Ann Ray | Willem Dafoe
In the middle of the night, a group of baboons came down and went through our packs and all that stuff.
