Jean-Pierre Jeunet Week
The City of Lost Children, 1995
Cinematography: Darius Khondji
On of my favorite movies of all time. :)
I don’t think you should ever say anything that you’re going to have to apologize for later. If the heat gets hot, just let them get mad. How did somebody make you apologize? Did they literally hit you on your body? Let them be upset. It’s not the worst thing in the world. It doesn’t mean you’re going to be a pauper. It’s a desperate thing to need everybody to be really happy with everything you say. To me the way to manage is not to have 50 versions of yourself — I do this thing, and the next time you’re going to hear me is the next time I do another one. As soon as you crack your knuckles and open up a comments page, you just canceled your subscription to being a good person.

I watched Skyfall, the new James Bond film last night. I was very impressed with the cinematography by Roger Deakins. The color palettes in particular really caught my attention, so I thought I’d grab some selective screen caps and add each image’s accompanying colors. Light, Medium, and Dark as well as a general spectrum are included for future project/color inspiration.
I didn’t realize that Roger Deakins is responsible for making No Country For Old Men, The Big Lebowski, and countless other films look amazing. More about him HERE.
I’m also now in awe of Judi Dench (who I’ve nicknamed Dame Judi) and her Bulldog figurine.
This is awesome, Roxy. :)
Want to know why I love improv?
Because of moments like this: Ladies and gentleman, Jesse Esparza fucking loving life for 4 seconds.
Who says improv doesn’t translate to video? I wish I had been there for this. Holy shit.
Special thanks to Will Reese for making the gif at my random facebook request!
Be nice. Be bored. Help other people. Laugh at your friends. Don’t lose sight of the fact that we’re all risking all this stuff. Whether some people are further along or not, don’t try to bump them down a peg by being snide or jealous or showing your insecurities to them. Separate the fact that they risked something and you should reward them and the fact that maybe you didn’t like it or it wasn’t your cup of tea. Is it really being so sophisticated to separate those things? It’s not.

So i just wrote about the danger or people trying replace the famous “improv rules.” The “don’t ask questions” and “avoid teaching scenes” and “don’t be coy” type of rules. It’s tough because the one thing the rules have on their side is that everyone remembers them forever.
But here I go….
Immediacy? Imperative? Those are the two that come to mind.
