Before: VP of Product Marketing & Corp Strat at eBay, loved California. Now: Film student, startup advisor, love NYC and Madras.
@patrix bc I love film too and needed to give it a try. Which I am :). It's great to find more than one thing you love. More +ves than -ves
Today I miss the tech world. Like really miss it. Problem of having two things you really enjoy and love doing I guess.
@om Press power and home button at the same time. Done.
@Honhaar hopefully in 4-6 weeks. Takes a while to get it back bc b&w film takes a while to process.
Day off today. Back to crewing tomorrow. Both kids sick. Hope they are better tomorrow. Hard to be away from them when they are sick :(
Working in crews with rotating positions is great on so many levels. Can't wait to producer (now) and do sound (next shoot). #nyu
It was incredible being director - the adrenaline, the decision making, the working with the actors. But now, I'm ready to be producer. :)
Mag jam, inaccurate weather reports and other lovely issues... All in a day's shooting...
The T-Mobile network in NYC was down for over an hour... Weird.
Apparently the population of New York decided two years ago to only have boys. Every pre-school has limited/no openings for 2-yr boys. @%#^!
Juggling pre-production, pre-directing & pre-school process. Arranging coffee for crew, doing my storyboard & writing thank yous! Crazy :)
@mcgd You know, it's kind of like one needs that pressure to get it all done. Otherwise there is too much time to dither around :)
In the depths of pre-production. So many details, so little time. #nyu
@etu Er... what does it do? Did nothing for me :), the #trick thing...
But this latest French utopia has met a prosaic reality: Many of the specially designed bikes, which cost $3,500 each, are showing up on black markets in Eastern Europe and northern Africa. Many others are being spirited away for urban joy rides, then ditched by roadsides, their wheels bent and tires stripped. With 80 percent of the initial 20,600... - http://shripriya.tumblr.com/post...
There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter—the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of... - http://shripriya.tumblr.com/post...
If you are not following @mcgd, you are missing out. One of the smartest product people & now super-cool VC. Ignore his background image :)
Acting in a classmate's film tomorrow. 7AM call time. On my off day. But I've become addicted to being on set... #nyu
@adamnash Not following @mcgd (on twitter or in life) is a crime.
Had to shoot in the pouring rain for tha past two days. Today is a rest day and it is glorious. Of course.
@ceonyc "You're part of a small group receiving this feature, so don't tweet about it yet!" :)
Shooting in the financial district. Asshole quotient very high in this part of town.
Getting excellent sound advice from @mdeii. In this case excellent and sound are not used as synonyms.
@mdeii Seriously. For a 702T and a bunch of mics why such enormous boxes? We do have a cardoid, shotguy, zep, lav, wireless lav.
@disqus Yes, I know... but when? :) And whenever you do, please, please do it retroactively
@mdeii 702T has nice bag. Take that and the mics and backpack and leave the heavy plastic foam padded boxes at home.
@mdeii All outdoors. Shotgun better than cardoid for atmos? Why lose wireless lavs (2)? No dialog! so just breathing. They are CUs - wild?
@mdeii We're mostly doing wild sound. Sync is just 2-5 takes. Seems like the equipment is over the top, no? :) Oh, and boom pole of course
@mdeii Yeah, atmos too. I was thinking cardoid for atmos. Shotgun for footsteps (sync) and wireless lav for breathing (sync).
