I think the guys on the thread about how far the video camera has come will get a kick out of this one.

A friend pulled focus for Tom Richmond and said he is quite an eccentric guy. His photo stream has some gems.

This is Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone). He is sitting next to an un-blimped Mitch (probably model "NC")

It is a great thread!

I have this poster framed in my editing room.

@CFreak - That SOC montage put a lump in my throat. After watching that, I went and sat downstairs, where I have a room full of film prints. Thanks for posting that!

The target in that camera is only slightly larger than the GH2's sensor!

Steve McQueen, enough said!

A locations soundguys favourite moment in the morning is when he asks for the blimp to be popped on lol DPs don't like it, the joy of location film politics.

It really is amazing, isn't it? The dream factory was something else. GREAT anecdotes, CFreak! Big Siodmak fan, too, so thanks Rambo.
