@GuyLodge—I see your point. I’ve a tendency to escape to the city in Venice or St Raphael in Cannes. Not as tied to screenings as you are :)
@GuyLodge — Hmm… interesting, thanks. Perhaps I’m very partial to Venice, most gorgeous city-museum in my opinion.

@vrizov — Ha ha, well, we might meet at @TIFF_NET and “battle, to the last” :D. Though I might also have a shooting schedule conflict :/ .

Wow. OK, I need to audit this calmly, but potentially great news for the non-techies I talk to. https://t.co/OHCN0Bg9KS
@gak_pdx — Oh man, don’t get me started on the iPhone :D.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — OK, we agree on this one :D. It just needs to be clear and budgeted up front (money / time / people). No surprises!
@gak_pdx @venunarla —Personally, I don’t think it’s in the “perceivable” category. More of a subconscious “feel”. Helvetica vs Haas Grotesk?
@gak_pdx @venunarla You mean “back-of-the-fence obsession’s fine if you have the budget for it / aim for the high-end, otherwise, it’s bad?”
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Thanks! Read it. Yes, agree with Ben Einstein. Similar to how things happen in other industries.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — My opinion is back of the fence painting is worth mostly for the team, for the pride. I write PHP/SQL no-one sees.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — That’s weird. Apple didn’t start out perfect and flawless.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Smart design == a lot more than just detail obsession :D (taste, ergonomics, prototyping, iteration, testing, etc.)
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Ah, yes, that, I totally agree with. Bad idea. It’s like shooting Star Wars with 1 M budget. Something’s got to give.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — It’s subtle, and yes, maybe not worth it. But then, what’s worth it to you / your team /subcont? This should be clear.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Maybe detail-obsession should be spelled out before the start of the project? I do with mine, plan and budget for it.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — It didn’t ruin the film, though.
@gak_pdx @venunarla Like Tarkovski asking to remove dandelions from a Stalker scene, invisible to the camera, but “felt” subliminaly.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Oh! Late decisions? No, that’s a bad idea. You’re either fussy from the start or you’re not, it should be clear.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Sorry about that, I may be misinterpreting something you say.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — OK, let’s get back on track. We’re talking about the approach to manufacturing and design, the processes, right?
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Well, as you said earlier, it really depends on the product / service. Plus the end-goal. Survive or excel?
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Agree. However, it’s so much easier to sell low _or_ high end products than mid-range.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Well, yes, mediocrity prevails any day, law of large numbers, stats average, entropy et al. Not newsworthy :D.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — Agree. Also depends on the culture. In Switzerland, craftsmanship / repairability / insides are part of the norm.
@gak_pdx @venunarla — The first one, sure. The subsequent releases flooding the market? Less sure ;). Buyer segmentation, nothing fancy.
@venunarla @gak_pdx I admit I know little about Nest’s processes, so I might not be best for a debate. In film, these hidden details matter.
@gak_pdx — Agree on the delays and costs. Disagree on morale. How else do you get high-end results? Cosmetic outsides aren’t enough, right?
@gak_pdx — Why?

@treeandbear — Oh yeah, happened to me so many times. Mind-over-body control.
Something’s wrong with this #system. https://t.co/sTWESYXzF2
@gak_pdx — Of course, that’s the Swiss minimalist craziness :).
@goodinaroom Excellent advice about excellent scripts. However I guess most want to know how non-excellent content gets a meeting & green ;)
@alispagnola—Hmm, thanks for the tip! I forgot this one, did similar variations in Soviet school. Amazing how different my perception is now
@gak_pdx — Yes, and I think it’s due to the generalized “abuse of power” bias in humans. The WC janitors love to boss around in similar way.
@DaveVescio — Brown ;).

@AFARfiction — J’arrive dans 30 minutes pour en rajouter :D.
Wow, this email from @Relativity’s Kavanaugh to @Netflix’s Sarandos is ugly: https://t.co/xiyCFf0J60 — must-read if you’re in #indiefilm
OK, I think I’ve got it. Best #film’s are made by #masochist’s. Who else would choose to live in #LA or #Moscow? :D
@jspector @Larakate — Hmm, maybe because Twitter is shorter and somehow feels less barrier-ed? I get better conversations here.
@fitnessinpost—Oh, thanks! Interesting! Haven’t heard about TBC Consoles. Which model do you have? They have huge flight-control like stuff.
@gak_pdx - :) Physics is physics. I thought brake fluid was special, before trying Fairy liquid soap as a makeshift alternative.
@fitnessinpost @Adamski I sense the connoisseur! Actually both! @IKEA sells motorized stand-sit Galant for certain countries. What do u use?
Excellent, broad interview of Zygmunt Bauman. Failure of #democracy, #regionalism, interdependence, #socialMedia: https://t.co/EajhwnxMYW
@Adamski — I have Bowflex 1090 under the editing table, so, instead of waiting on @Facebook… I’m improving #steadicam form and stamina!
@Adamski—Had to use short but imprecise term. Ingest / lib mgmt take most time. But 15 min isn’t so long. Enough for upper-body low-reps :D.
Don’t want to go to the #gym? Don’t! Buy a set of adjustable dumbbells, a bench and lift at home! I #exercice while waiting #FCPX to render.
@gak_pdx — Yep, @Leica_camera has completely missed the digital turn. Similar to @Kodak. None of the 1950’s avant-garde thinking.
@gak_pdx @Zappos_Service—Handling is almost the same wherever you ship, invoicing is auto, customs are a customer’s concern. I’m OK to pay.
@gak_pdx @Zappos_Service Well, @BHPhotoVideo’s been shipping to us in Europe since 1998. Zero problems both ways with @UPS. Orders over 20K.
So, it’s 2016 and @Zappos_Service still does not ship to #Europe?! Unbelievable.
Less than 3% of #indiefilm submitted got selected for @SundanceFest. Out of 4000+ features. Imagine watching them all in 1 year, 11 a day!
Finally! According to @Uber, starting tomorrow 08:00, pick-ups directly at the @flyLAXairport will work! Hope it’s not another false start!
@goodinaroom — Agree that it has little to do with Blake Snyder and everything to do with marketability (pleasing huge crowds for sales).
This is big. Although the #consolidation in our lives and businesses is quite scary. https://t.co/sHmBKbCS0z
@bonniegillespie — It’s kinda weird, knowing that @Amazon is behind, with their much hyped AWS.
Happy #birthday, Roy! Hope Denis doesn’t mess up la suite.

@chrismcquarrie — Also agree about the attitude. I used both Macs and PCs, shot both film and digital. We should be pragmatic, not dogmatic.
@chrismcquarrie—Agree about the nostalgia / feeling of loss. I felt it when @Kodak filed for 11, even though I had already converted.
@chrismcquarrie—To me (and not only), shooting film today is going the extra mile, hence my initial wondering. Esp at night (Vienna, London)
@chrismcquarrie—When you say “film’s not hard to use”, do you compare with digital? Exa: a @Panavision on a steadicam is heavier than a RED.
@chrismcquarrie — To my eyes, the blacks is the main weakness of film, look at what happened in Green Zone. Kodachrome was cool, though.
@chrismcquarrie—I always thought of both as tools, and whichever works best depends on taste and prod style (nimble vs deliberately slow).
@chrismcquarrie—OK about the invaluables of digital. I agree about the mechanical shutter. What do you think about @Elysium post-prod grain?
@chrismcquarrie—What were the film’s invaluables to you (other than highlights and grain)? Yep, I know about your use of the Alexa XT & 65.
@chrismcquarrie @gjlewis10 My original tweet was wondering about your choice given today’s tech, not arguing. Night scenes, action, bikes…
@chrismcquarrie—I’ve never rushed to bury a tool I’ve used since 1997. The pros dissapeared for _me_ in 2011. I think _your_ result is great
@LordOfSwede—Sure, but in my opinion, the current tech allows smaller, nimbler setups, especially for night scenes and anything that moves.
@chrismcquarrie—I respect your choice and did say “whatever works”. What were the pros for you? I switched from film for ISO, size & speed.
Still cant wrap my head around @ChrisMcQuarrie having #shot @MissionFilm on #film. Prod hassle. @MadMaxMovie’s smarter. Well, whatever works
@pheek — Go for it JP!
@FlySWISS — Bitte Sehr! Always at your service.

@GuyLodge @JonathanRomney — Faux-bof d’office, faut pas se lourder!
@GuyLodge — Bof… Y’a mieux.
All other things being equal in #cinema—budget, talent, technical prowess—it’s crew’s #taste that makes a #film mediocre, average or great.

I’m thinking, can we transpose #Swedish social security net to #film investment/production? Not direct #govt subs like in France? @TedHope?
@elizabethkarr @TedHope — Yes! The reason I said “ideally” we’d each be doing what we do best, streamlined and paid for efficiency (K. Marx)
@hurlbutvisuals—Haven’t seen any new stuff, but finally seen Black Sea (partially shot with C500) Have you seen it? Worth a look photo-wise.
@elizabethkarr—Ideally! But @TedHope’d argue you need to be ubiquitous to survive an era of over-abundance and hence need to produce more ;)
@ARRIChannel @dronoblog @newera — Next, video of the beer blow-through the vents (it’s a closed waterproof circuit :).

@tferriss —How about an update about transferring this to on-screen reading? Say, a MacBook or iPad, no pencil or greasy finger allowed :) ?
Less downtime on #film set (zoom instead of prime, no actor marks, 360° lighting, multi-cam, hourly dailies) = less #stress, money, fatigue.
Why the general public feels more confortable to comment on #film? Never got as much feedback on #photography. #Cinema = #art of the masses?
@Alex4D — Totally agree! Some kind of inter-linking with various editor guilds, unions and associations around the world would be great too.

“Demand for skills in #UK #TV production” — report & causes of shortages in directors, line producers, asst editors: thefullpicturetv.com
@Directors_UK @SkillsetSSC — Oh! Thanks! Reading the full report at thefullpicturetv.com
@Directors_UK @SkillsetSSC Whaaaat? Care to list top 10 #film / #TV job-types hard to fill, please? (have no access) We may send the French.
Wow. @FedEx acquires @TNTMediaHub: tnt.com/content/corpor… Good news. TNT lagged behind in quality for years.
Achieving interesting results in #film requires to take the path of greatest #resistance. Ease and comfort signal #conformism and repetition
@paulmac708 — I suspect festivals might have been burned by bad experience with blu-rays in the past, might be second reason. Who shoots SD?
@paulmac708 —Exactly! I tweeted exactly the same thing a month ago ( https://t.co/66VQhzOxGB ). Crazy. Even iPhone film is HD. What % is SD?
@Directors_UK — Excellent initiative!
@ellardent — What I meant was that to switch from 1 form (tech shorthand for crew) to another form (Twitter) is non-trivial for a director.
@ellardent — The 3 (shoot/meetings/Twitter) require different form of expression but the intrinsic info is the same, is that what you meant?
@ellardent — Sorry, I might. Where do you think I went off-track?
@chinoixchinoix — Interesting project!
@ellardent — Are you even more eloquent :D ? Seriously, script meetings are different than the shoot, at least for me and directors I know.
@ellardent @Directors_UK But really I think and I thank you guys for the discussion, because we might be doing something better, improve.
@ellardent @Directors_UK My first reaction to the ? is an example: it’s on my mind. I don’t worry about the shoots as much, in the flow.
@ellardent @Directors_UK Another guess to the original ? is directors are worried by other things, and tend to talk about those instead.
@ellardent @Directors_UK I don’t say “because it’s a long shot, we’re going to keep tension up by doing X, a variant of Y” — no time!
@ellardent @Directors_UK I don’t articulate to crew the same way I would on Twitter. On set, we use shorthands “faster, slower, turn it…”
@ellardent @Directors_UK Time warping and emotions manipulation is what I do and can explain as a director, but no one asked me how I do it.
@ellardent @Directors_UK That’d require a director to shift into teaching mode. I don’t articulate tension control to others, I just do it.
@ellardent — Known examples from your own or others’ scripts?
@ellardent—My Twitter audience is different from each of my films’ audience. Example: Kvadrat audience has interest in music, not filmmaking
@ellardent @Directors_UK “Break the 180° rule once the space established” without a shot reads banal and unsubstantiated to me. Am I wrong?
@ellardent @Directors_UK I’d guess that for directors, DPs and editors, it’s visual. I need to SHOW stuff. Reference to a shot. Maybe link?
@ellardent @Directors_UK Well, most anything can be written off to procrastination :)
@ellardent @Directors_UK 2)within tweet constrains, we need to either reference already known scenes (reserved for the famous) or generalize
@ellardent @Directors_UK My guesses: 1) as directors, we don’t know you’re interested, most questions we’re asked are about the story
@ellardent @Directors_UK Haven’t thought of tweeting how I solved scene or editing problems though. Back to your original “why”? Interesting
@ellardent — Ha! Dead on. Inversely, directors’ work often reveals more about the person than when you meet in real life. Scary fascinating.
@jamesmoran @ellardent — Yeah, this is weird. And often combined with “Directed by” shortly afterwards. Film is a team sport :D.
@ellardent @Directors_UK Have you read #Tarkosky’s diaries “Martyrolog”? It’s like an Excel spreadsheet of his debts till dead. Not fun.
@ellardent @Directors_UK Art is supposed to be the other way round: Idea > Film …The rest is for the producers :D. In reality, context rules
@ellardent @Directors_UK The unglamorous reality of direction: we have to work backwards. Sales > Likes > Views > Marketing > #Film > Idea.
@ellardent @Directors_UK Thanks! Well, the hardest is to create original films despite the economics favoring conformity / predictability.
@ellardent @Directors_UK I’m a director. When I tweet about the reality of direction, it’s not what people expect, that’s my impression.
@Directors_UK @ellardent I guess because few want to hear about the hard stuff. Dicussions of gear or completed #film are easier to read.
@WTSFilmMag — Thanks! “You’ve Got Mail (1998)” :D
@WTSFilmMag—Sure, how about KvadratMovie.com ? As indie as it gets. Continuing best Russian experimental cinema traditions. Спасибо :)
@LA_LiftOffFest—If the goal is to appeal to the audience, yes. But artistically it’s like inquiring which color sells best for a painting ;)
@indiewire @KentuckerAudley—Totally! Also include mini-budget tax breaks, easier world distribution & eager audiences tired of blockbusters.
@liamboluk — Seems to not work on a Mac version of Excel. But, there’s a similar “lovely feature” in BBedit, end of doc instead of line ;).
Astronauts depicted in #cinema except “2001” and “#Apollo 13”? Young, #neurotic, inexperienced and sexy. Deciding the faith of #humanity :).
I think we’ve gone too short on brevity / verbosity scale in #math and #physics for vars and const. Conflicts abound: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_let…
The #suicide scene in @IdaMovie is one of the best I’ve seen in #film. Unexpected, mundane, real and painful. That’s how #life is.
Are #humans just another #primate? Mostly, yes! Except for a few things like #science and #art: youtu.be/YWZAL64E0DI

@studioexec1 — how about just 2 words?
How to #shoot a low budget feature #indiefilm: no pro help, 15 hr workdays, no weekends, no vacations, no pay, 2 meals/day, 3 years. Easy ;)
Entropic theory of #conscious states by @RobinCarhartHar includes #psychosis, #sleep, #meditation, #LSD, #depression:
Anyone knows how to never-ever show playback controls in full-screen mode in #FCPx 10.1? As was in 10.0? @Alex4D, @FCPdotCO, please?
@Alex4D — care to elaborate on the “future” part? ;-)
Weird #dream. Met #Tarkovsky in a smallish 20 sq m #cafe. Talked about #cinema, naturally. He was already a bit drunk & annoyed. Rainy day.
Amazing how DPs and #cinema gear manufacturers talk 4K, while #film festivals like @TIFF_net or @FilmFestLocarno reject anything but SD DVDs
My KvadratMovie.com continues the #cinema tradition of #Soviet #depressing #films about hard-working people https://t.co/AaImxkLR7Y
I wonder how much of my #life has been wasted staring patiently at #progress bars?
#Cinema industry is now all business, replication, reliability… Bland #film sequels dominate: grantland.com/features/2014-…

“Well-being isn’t just a pleasurable sensation. It’s a deep sense of serenity & fulfillment. A state that pervades joy & sorrow” — M. Ricard

@MikeEverleth — me too :D.
@MikeEverleth — A simple 2-layered file with before / after variants. You could switch in real time. No magic required. Only persuasion.
@MikeEverleth — You can always ask the authors, but honestly, non-graded material looks awful in 95% of the cases (esp RAW). Flat and dead.
@MikeEverleth — what for? do you feel lied to? or do you prefer to watch the B&W RAW data before de-mozaicing :) ?
@MaxItMagazine — Your “register” form generates a “Google SMPT authentication failure when trying to send out an e-mail” error. Config bug?

@EskildKrogh — Oh, then, just write by hand in a text editor, or use dedicated software: https://t.co/EaZ6Bbj948 — the syntax is very simple
@EskildKrogh Depends on: 1) delivery mode (Vimeo/YouTube/Blu-ray) 2) the “look” you want (fonts). For KvadratMovie.com I burned in.

@goodinaroom — Imagine if we could merge and open up this data and let it be updatable and thus current? Globally? Everyone would benefit.
@goodinaroom Your studio exec would get only contained thriller scripts. And I wouldn’t get comics-based scripts ;). Today it’s guesswork.
@goodinaroom If every film pro had tags like “brainy”, “experimental”, “comics” and budget type, an algorithm could match. Like dating sites
@goodinaroom Projects assemble on “I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy” basis, artificially constrained to your network.
@goodinaroom People suffer mismatch, as in your post. IMDb isn’t a resource for current affinity search. Past work leads to typecasting.
@goodinaroom The process of connecting people. Some have ideas, some have money, some have skills. All complain they can’t find each other.
@goodinaroom Why doesn’t the cinema industry embrace IT to connect and reduce reliance on direct contacts? Stunning for me as a newcomer.
@goodinaroom Good! How about a similar post for studio execs suggesting to state what they look for? Better than sitting through all pitches

I’m kinda preoccupied by #evolution and #homogeneity problems resulting from the #astronomy discovery of Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall
According to #Jarmusch, #filmmaking is “like #seduction, wild sex, then pregnancy”. I definitely prefer the #sex part of the #cinema process
WTF is with the “X days ago” trend in #cinema #screenwriting? @BreakingBad_AMC, @SideEffects, #Transcendence… #Filmaker’s response to #ADD?
@jamesrosenblatt — Naah… standard industry practice. Well-documented, white-papered.
@studioexec1—Really looking forward to that Tarkovsky’s lost version of Batman piece. Esp since he publicly stated his aversion to comics :D
If you want to #disappoint your #parents and don’t have the nerve to be #gay, the best is to become an #artist — Kurt #Vonnegut paraphrase
@baza4k — Oh, I wish directors talked more to other directors. And listened to each other while doing so :).
@baza4k — but most importantly, a Steadicam and its operator are not a humanoid tripod :D
Dreamt of shooting a #film with a #piano in background. Pianist: “what should I play?” Me: “Uh… #Bach?” Woke up. Should have been #Scriabin!

FS7, 2 years after @SonyProEurope F5… I wish the pace of #cinema #business models progress matched the speed of improvement of cinema #gear.
@BAYLAW1 — Thanks II ;).
@BAYLAW1 — “Complimented”? Thanks, but how does that work? And what does that mean?
@ARTtouchesART — I’d rather say “the ideal”. Artists rarely get as much pleasure from the process as generally thought. Especially writers.
@abelcine — Wow, thanks a ton, guys! As @Amadi__ hints, you could improve by auto metric conversion in Excel (instead of using InDesign :-).
I guess the main reason for @VolvoOceanRace #sailing #boat’s to have unprotected decks open to torrents is to look #cinematic and #extreme.
Is there a proved correlation between #guns and #weight? The majority of US guns’ reviewers on YouTube seems to #overeat and under-exercise.
@juliecornewell Agree. However, my point remains with others, not the sufferer (as you imply). Pretense is fallible to an actute observer.
@juliecornewell — I agree with you. However, I meant the people around an artist should act. Why all the admiration without support?
Why, despite all the love and #success and admiration no one has helped #RobinWilliams? #Depressed and alone, surrounded by 7 billion people
@Alex4D — Wow! Thanks so much Alex! I’ve been struggling with this “select on click” behavior in #FCPx for years. Will alt-click henceforth.
No, the mirrors in weight lifting rooms are not for #narcissism only. They’re a tool to check proper form, if you’re serious about #training
You are what you do. A man is defined by his #actions, not his #words. Stop talking to me and show me what you’ve done so far!
So weird. @AaronPaul_8 acting in @BreakingBad_AMC is awesome. It’s terrible in @NeedforSpeed #film. Why? #Actor? #Director? #Script? Other?
Plus, @HurlbutVisuals has shared the exhaustive results of that @NeedforSpeed #film test: hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2013/10/a…
Add to my @HurlbutVisuals #camera choice tweet: budget included cars, race track rent, 8 drivers, 3 Russian arms, #film crew of 12 (5 days)
@hurlbutvisuals — Oh! That explains much of the budget! Thank you. My tweet lacked context. Mind if I tweet this data to add perspective?
@hurlbutvisuals — I’m fascinated by cost compared to my indie feature. Was it because of film? Renting instead of borrowing via CPN? People?
@hurlbutvisuals — I totally agree and appreciate your efforts and sharing! And even your blog posts took quite some time to write, I know.
It cost @HurlbutVisuals x2 the entire KvadratMovie.com budget just to choose a #camera to #film @NeedforSpeed: cpn.canon-europe.com/content/educat…
@liamboluk—Thanks, I’ve read both @MediaREDEF & @IveyBusReview series before tweeting. Pity about international. Global is the only future.
@liamboluk @PrashobMenon — I’m really looking for international comparisons. LA & NYC vs London, Paris, HK. Not much data or opinion. Ideas?
@liamboluk @PrashobMenon — As a film director & co-producer with a business school background… I did really enjoy it! What’s planned next?
@liamboluk — excellent analysis of current US #film industry trends! Thank you for your work!
Ouch! @Monotype acquires @FontFont & @FontShop. I intuitively feel that’s bad consolidation news for #typography & #design. Hope I’m wrong.
@Alex4D — FYI, I edit features, but I don’t work in reels. Started directly with digital, so no legacy. I guess it’s a disappearing trend.
@TedHope Would you please share the source for annual total of feature #film made? You say 50K. @UNESCO gives 12,6K: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_indu…
@baza4k — Bruce was one of the best. Pity we could’t film him with a @PhantomHiSpeed.
Making a #feature #film is a #competition between the #director and the #producer: who is the crazier of the two? Risking #money & #sanity?
@VikkiChandler87 @LA_LiftOffFest — The best editing software is the one with which you’re most creative & productive. Test all and choose.
Actually, I like the production #design of @Elysium #film. Quite realistic, for a change. Except drinkable tap water in Mexican LA.
@baza4k — Phewww… I meticulously read through all their specs, looking for that UFPA (Ultra Focus Pulling Augmenter) breakthrough :-).
@baza4k you kidding about these being a focus puller dream? Most ACs I talked struggle with my style of unchoreographed wide open, low light

I wish we had these @RodeMics invisiLavs ( https://t.co/dIeEg3HCkI ) for vimeo.com/75739779 ! Looks awesome for my next #cinema prod.
@LA_LiftOff I mainly meant unlike other media #cinema feedback is too noisy to be that useful to a director. Tarkovsky got terrible feedback
@LA_LiftOff “without audience there’s no art”—In my opinion the difference between #art and #entertainment is absence of audience imperative
@LA_LiftOff Everyone is a #film critic. Too much feedback becomes too much of a good thing. Curate feedback for higher signal to noise ratio
No bullshit interview of Hiroshi Kawahara @FujiFilmUS about X-series #photography cameras design approach & future: youtube.com/watch?v=_gGsoB…
#Cinema is the only #art where you can say “My #film sucks because we had a tiny budget, if only I had more…” Can’t say so for a #painting.
“#Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.” — Helen Keller
@LA_LiftOff I rather think #art is outside of the #artist. We’re sophisticated filters / transmitters but our works have a life of their own
@Zacuto the other crucial piece was Z-Mount Zwivel to connect @ChroszielUSA DV Balancer. Unique parallel rotatable 2-rod clamp. Tiny mighty.
@LA_LiftOff @Rodriguez yeah! Although we don’t share tastes with Robert ;). And I’m now assembling a (compact) crew for my next features.
@LA_LiftOff Ideally yes but in our era of over-specialization it remains a dream. In my #film I direct, DP, record sound, edit, roto & grade
@LA_LiftOff totally agree. And whatever the language, it’s always better to be specific. Or draw a picture. Or show by doing / acting.
@Anton_Bauer hope you enjoy it because it’s planned to be a Russian bardak ;). Infrastructure still unfinished. But HCX work great in Russia
@Zacuto thank _you_ for making the gear! Regarding my feature #film, you can watch a free full-length 720p version: kvadratmovie.com
@CanonProNetwork you’re welcome! One of the reasons I’m a CPN member. I think Canon can do better cine lenses: EF size, IS and weatherproof.
Dear people, please stop telling me I should #eat more. Instead, buy or cook me a meal :D. I like Chinese and Thai. Or just bananas. Thanks!
@CanonProNetwork thanks for info! I’m a filmmaker I tone in post-prod. Would prefer EF/PL consistency. Please follow so I can answer your DM
@CanonProNetwork agree on the quality, still miss the IS (no, the f/4 is not the same :-). And would love a cine-variant in same size.
@Zacuto yep, the Z-Finder Pro was in heavy use on kvadratmovie.com in tight spaces like airplanes and trains:
“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.” — Hunter S. Thompson
Unfuckingbelievable. Tripped and fell during my nightly 15K #run through historical #Paris. On non-technical asphalt. “Wake up! Time to die”
#SpotTheRock: Don’t be afraid to spend on @RedrockMicro to saw, drill & glue it like I did for kvadratmovie.com/about/
@redrockmicro assemble a fast & nimble team of crazy #film perfectionists unafraid to hack @redrockmicro gear to shoot my next 3 features :D
@FirstGlanceFilm Exactly! — I did just finish kvadratmovie.com a REAL feature #indiefilm, but labeling it “my favorite” is #unethical
@FirstGlanceFilm none, but your “real #indiefilm” term made me smile :-) — “as we both know, appearances can be deceiving”
Water-related #fail day. Washing machine ran through 80% of my clothes almost without #water. WC flush tank valve lost water tightness. Ugh!
Awesome #visualization of world #wind conditions forecast by GFS / @NOAA updated every 4 hours: earth.nullschool.net
@CanonProNetwork why yellower? Is it by optical design? Or firmware interpretation of lens attached?
Beware of the “being in the present” obsession. The human #brain evolved to model the past and #future. Don’t deny it. Embrace all 3 tenses.

We were in a city, there were only 2 of us, we had access to too little money, too little equipment, and little by little we went insane.

@craftui ever wondered how InDesign feels to non-designers? The B737 was way more difficult to operate before the glass cockpit upgrade :-).
Anyone knows how to move simultaneously all 3 RGB sliders in #Mac OS 10.8 color picker, please? Modifier keys don’t seem to work.
If safety was a priority, the #ATC would be texting directly to the FMS, FCU and #EFIS… instead of mumbling! Which could be used as backup.

@judycopywriter Yeah, somehow the insistent dead were the first to come to my mind. But I _am_ looking for living exceptions. ;-)
@judycopywriter Again, agree (incompletely when it comes to swearing). But, exceptions like Brodsky and Nabokov immediately come to my mind…
@abugah Yes, please send samples of French, German & English log lines and paragraphs, corporate comm / ad style to anatolyivanov.com/contact/en.
@judycopywriter But it’s a multicultural, diverse and interesting project with lots of creative room and just monetary compensation.
@judycopywriter I agree. I’d need near-native in DE & FR (A lang), not unrare in Switzerland, plus EN (B lang), which is learnable.
I’m looking for excellent #freelance #copywriter working in EN, FR and DE (ideally #Schwiizerdütsch ). Web & print. Any location. Please RT.

@naturalfeet Yes, you definitely have a job now, an honest job: converting & teaching the West to #walk & #run #barefoot! Raise fees ;-)
@naturalfeet Ah, sarcarsm ;-) You may wish to put it in quotes the next time. Otherwise, really bad podiatrists, scary more than crazy, IMO.
@naturalfeet Agree on brainwashing. Why do you say evolution made a mistake with Western feet? Homo sapiens haven’t evolved since 50 kya.
@naturalfeet Are you kidding?! Of course “Western” humans can #walk and #run without support, #barefoot! They just don’t want to.

#Eurobike09 stats: 100000 m2, 1028 exhibitors from 42 countries, 39152 visitors from 75 countries, 1556 journalists (me) from 36 countries.
Vaude had size L only at their #Eurobike09 booth. Would’ve liked to try their Prime 3/4 length cycling rain pants in eVent. 175 g.
I’ve seen zillions of bikes at #Eurobike09 . If you want to express your individuality, get a #bike. More choice than in the car industry.
Leaving Friedrichshafen #Eurobike09 in torrential downpour. Tomorrow is public day. Mega-crowds expected.
Big difference between #Eurobike09 and #OutDoor09 in Friedrichshafen: much, much more smokers at #Eurobike09.
Park Tool to replace the PRS 15 by PRS 25. Prototype at #Eurobike09: lighter, more compact, locking fold, new clamp.
An “entry” into the 11-speed world of Campagnolo: the Athena grouppo presented at #Eurobike09. Mix of carbon fiber and aluminum.
New for #Eurobike09: Rohloff’s lighter, more compact shifter for their 14-speed hub. Works with straight bars, even carbon fiber.
#Eurobike09 presents a huge selection of beautiful fixies. But #Fixie Inc Peacemaker with belt drive (Gates Carbondrive) is simply awesome!
Ritchey Pro Paradigm SPD pedal looks great in red at #Eurobike09. 255 g. Combines bushings, bearings & sealed cartridges. Easy maintenance.
#Eurobike09 test-ride: NuVinci continuously variable gear hub. Amazing! Feels like electric motor vs manual diesel transmission.
Ritchey Pro Paradigm SPD pedal looks great in red at #Eurobike09. 255 g, combines bushings, bearings sealed cartridges, easy maintenance.
Busch & Muller wins a #Eurobike09 award for their E-Werk. Charging interface between a hub dynamo and gadgets. An alternative to solar?
#Shimano Capreo system (9-26T cassette) lives on, confirmed at #Eurobike09. Ultegra improves brifters, loses a bit of weight, changes color.
Noticed a nifty SKS AirChecker digital tire pressure gauge with swiveling head and bleed button at #Eurobike09.
At last found the ClappTonBox hard case for #Brompton made by B&W b-w-international.com/index.php Super tough for checked-in air travel to #Eurobike09
#Eurobike09 test-ride: Mezzo aluminum monocoque folding bike. Very stable ride, folded size inbetween Bike Friday Tikit and #Brompton.
Unfortunately, Ritchey’s compact drop handlebar, WCS Carbon Logic Curve, didn’t make it to the #Eurobike09. Still in the works.
Sigma updates the BC 1606L DTS to BC 1609 STS. Better design and ergonomics, same speed and cadence sensors, plus temperature.
Espai Bici Barcelona has shown me an 8-speed internal gear hub to fit on a #Brompton at #Eurobike09. SA XRF8 with custom chain retainer!
Van Nicholas hydroformed (!) #titanium Astraeus #bike stolen yesterday at #Eurobike09. #Shimano DuraAce, Lightweight wheels… Total bummer.
Again bitten by mosquitos, but not so severely. Compensating with German apfelsaft and Czech plum eau-de-vie.
Fascinating to see all the energy, time and effort building #Eurobike09 stands before the show opens tomorrow.
Arrived at #Eurobike09 in Friedrichshafen. Our bus from Zurich got stopped by mobile customs unit. Everyone out, total search, amazing.
The time conflict 2. My circadian rhythm (awake 5:00 - 20:00) vs social rhythm (clients, art & techno scene 18:00 - 6:00). Any solutions?
@OrganicJar & @RunningQuest - Haven’t noticed a 16% athletic boost from just drinking beet juice. I just like beet salads, soups and juices!
@OrganicJar It’s best to eat and drink before, during and after athletic activity (1h+). Great to see someone drinking beet juice in the US!
Hilarious but so true: youtube.com/watch . Riding a #bike for performance vs trendiness. #Roadie vs #fixie. Great lyrics and video.
@RitcheyLogic Thanks for the WCS Compact habdlebar pic. On my list of stuff to see at Ritchey booth at #Eurobike09 . Arriving on Tuesday.
@craigrandall Tastes differ, no problemo. Plus tea vs coffee is very much a cultural thing. But why do you find tea unspectacular?
@craigrandall , have you tried high-caffeine tea? Like the black from Yunnan? I recommend: palaisdesthes.com/en/tea-shop/g… Much more stable than coffee.
My new Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro specs: anatolyivanov.com/prose/en/AI.7… 20" folding road #bike built with #Campagnolo and #Shimano components.
Subjective time perception: 1 hour seems longer to young, shorter to old ( #age relativity). Not my case: content determines my perception.
I doubt governments will reach a radical, effective agreement on #climate in #Copenhagen. Humans need to hit the wall first (UN after WW2…)
Internal linktime officially ended. Considering either isotope, internal linkteleportation or transmolecularzation. Other ideas?
@RitcheyLogic OK, thanks, will take a look at the WCS Alloy Logic Curve during the #Eurobike09 . Are you going?
@RitcheyLogic Any compact aluminum variant of the WCS Carbon Logic Curve planned?
Received the #Garmin Dakota 20. Starting testing phase (at least 1 month). Will write a comparison review similar to anatolyivanov.com/prose/en/AI.7…

Swiss train SBB.ch quality deteriorates: my seat rocked side to side. Had to tighten the screws underneath: love my Park Tool AWS-10!
Sign in DJ booth: “100 dB max”. Meter goes over 104.

Temp finally back to +20 C so I can fully enjoy my regular 15 K #run. Sun, chateaux, Mont Blanc. Silence, flowers and fountains.
I’m not a #downhill or #MTB specialist, but I’ve noticed the folding Bergmönch bike at the #OutDoor09 show: vimeo.com/5611817

#Garmin_fail: sudden black screen at 50 km/h when I missed a turn on a preprogrammed bike route with #Garmin Oregon. Doh!
An entire day... and night of #bike wrenching. Despite the heat it feels great!
#OutDoor09 tech spreads to everyday gear. GoLite Go To Tote looks like a stylish womens bag. Tough, recycled, siliconized polyester, 283g!
@BrandonMoody I wait for the fit to be perfect. I wear US11 but found M43 too long, all Ms too wide. W42 is better width-wise, a bit short.
Teko showed an interesting selection of wool-based socks for runners and cyclers at #OutDoor09. Need to wear a pair to be fair. Day 2.
Wowed by Montane sleeveless Slipstream Gilet at #OutDoor09. Front: Pertex Quantum. Back: mesh. Felt great for spring / autumn running. 70g.
Tried #Vibram #FiveFingers at #OutDoor09. Considering since 2005. Problematic for my long & narrow feet. Pulled on mens & womens 42-43-44.
#Trains are great. #Rail is our future. But we need to work on passenger #etiquette.
Leaving the #OutDoor09 show in Friedrichshafen for Zurich.
LTW Rear Fender builds upon the superlight Pacific Outdoor LTW Front Fender: 771g 20L (1 pannier). Compression, heel clearance. #OutDoor09
Inspected PrimaLoft Infinity, a continuous filament high-loft insulation alternative to Polarguard / Climashield. Sample is nice. #OutDoor09
Enjoyed #OutDoor09 demo & detailed explanations of Cocona: activated carbon retaining porous structure after integration with polyester.
Pacific Outdoor Equipment rounds the bottom edges of its Pneumos (lighter + more compact), adds a plastic window to see through! #OutDoor09
#Garmin Dakota: compact, nicer to hold, awkward for stuff near screen edge, resolution (PPI) seems lower, brightness similar to Oregon 550.
#GoLite has shown me an impressive 765g / 38L backpack with ingenious compression system: the Peak. Recycled nylon, Deneema, mesh #OutDoor09
#Garmin booth, #OutDoor09 show. Oregon 550 has glossy screen, slightly better than Oregon 300 matte screen I’ve reviewed anatolyivanov.com/prose/en/AI.7…
Marmot replaces lightest synthetic sleeping bag Pounder (550g, Primaloft) with heavier Axiom (730g, Thermal R). Compresses well! #OutDoor09
Pacific Outdoor Equipment stuffs foam cut-outs with high-loft insulation: Peak Oyl Mtn. 4 season, 3,5-5 R, 690g (reg) pad. #OutDoor09
Inov8 introduces max-traction orienteering shoes. Oroc 340 & 350. Tungsten studs, differential rubber compound, laces cache. #OutDoor09
Have taken a look at the Patagonia Merino 1 at #OutDoor09. 108g super thin fabric: 63% of 16,5 micron merino wool + 37% of polyester. Nice!
Exped BivyBag in eVent looks good at #OutDoor09. Hood stifner, storm flapped zipper, guy points, mosquitto netting, vent, nylon floor, 670g.
Severely bitten by mosquitos while putting up my tent near the Friedrichshafen #OutDoor09 show.
Arrived at the Friedrichshafen #OutDoor09 show.
Goodbye #Kodachrome. The color, the sharpness, the contrast... the processing, the scanning. I will forever remember these days.
#Cycling across borders: the asphalt difference between French roads and Swiss roads continues to amaze me.

Halo Stretch. Montane lightest eVent rain jacket: 350g, elastic Dermizax panels, full zipper, 2 venting pockets, 1 map pocket. #OutDoor09
Rab plans a 75g, Pertex Quantum, half-length zip, pocketless windshirt for Spring 2010: the Cirrus Pull-on. I will have a look at #OutDoor09
@michaelredwood Hope you find my very selective and very subjective #OutDoor09 coverage useful.

@DavePollard which emotional need does Twitter fill, in your opinion?
@roessli Are the knee problems inside or outside? The meniscus or the ligaments on the outside? I’d suggest to optimize your #running gait.
Awesome business card design. Make anywhere out of anything. Reuse, recycle. (via @jacinthebusson @aysoon @geoffreydorne)
@roessli what’s up with your knee?
@DavePollard there’s no 2 separate “heart” and “head”. It’s a bizarre construct. The reality is 1 neuro-system, including peripheral senses.
My cell phone’s screen just died. Backlit black. Sounds OK. Sorry, I may miss your call and certainly your SMS. Taking appropriate measures.

@DavePollard Do you think people will barter “news photographs & texts” for “food, shelter & equipment” in a Gift Economy?
@DavePollard I think a freelancer is already an entrepreneur. A lot of great photogs have simply stopped working for the press. Not viable.
@DavePollard “freelancers will have to become part-time reporters, and earn their living doing something else” - like what?
