Are You A Filmie? What Do You See…

 

You’re a Film Buff if you see a movie light and a coffee.

You’re a Film Buff Who’s Particular if you see a studio light and a Starbucks coffee.

However…

You’re a True Filmie if you see two Blondes.

Cheers & a good shoot to you,
Deb

You Know You’re a Filmie When… Print-Through Moments

You know you’re a filmie when “they” call it déjà vu, but you call it a print-through moment!

nag

For newbie-filmies, print-through is when a recorded sound on a reel-to-reel magnetic stock recorder (like a Nagra) is so loud that an echo of it is heard before and after the sound itself. When the tape wraps around the reel, the loud recorded sound touches and affects the magstock next pressed next to it.

Cheers & a good shoot to you,
Deb
