      Roger,

      I thought ARRI designed an optical VF specifically to your design and use, it was mentioned in a German film magazine some years ago. Not sure if you got your wish.

        Roger,

        Where was this location?

        I am trying to visualise the working conditions to film these scenes, how difficult was this shoot assuming you chose the cold conditions to maximise the bleak effect.

        Not sure what the poly tunnels were used for.  Fascinating imo.

          Thankyou Roger for your detailed reply, much appreciated.

          Btw, the scene of the cinemas auditorium and the firework display actually took my breath away literally.  Seeing nice images makes me emotional, not embarrassed to admit that. Very nice work imo.

            Roger,

            Ref the firework scene. Did the fireworks have a shorter fuse to explode above the cinema. Also how did you meter this scene. Assume there was no CG involved and everything was in cameras. Also how many takes did you do to get right.

            Also the scene with Ron eating chips and miss Coleman stepping in to save the day, how many takes did that take. As always thankyou.

              Interestingly,
              the original Dreamland cinema had yellow tinted windows on some of the windows.probably to reduce sun glare. Just a comment that’s all. I used to holiday here in the late 1950’s, yes, I am that old.😂

                Max A,

                Posting pictures was immediate for me, sometimes there was a hesitation but most times it was immediate. Can be very frustrating when it doesn’t go right.

                  Have you tried emptying your ‘Cashe’. That can cause uploading issues.

                            The scene takes place in a hotel breakfast room (location).

                            attached photos may help you.

                              Now that does look interesting,  I will certainly tune in for that.

                              Thankyou Abraham

                                  I agree with you but how do you ascertain if they are more knowledgeable than you.

                                  I have employed many people male and female with a list of credentials and although initially seem to be eager at first turn out to be very disappointing in the long run.

                                  I find it’s sometimes best to take on the mediocre types and nurture them as the go along,   Also they are cheaper to feed water than the ones who claim to know everything but in the end know nothing.  Train them up on the job is my philosophy.
