Lion hiding

ok so Lion was just released and its a cool one.. but there are a bunch of little things that will confuse older mac nerds..
the main one was that they now hide the user library.. HUH? i guess so people don't fuck it up. i guess thats fine.. but i need to see it for transferring between users etc.
so here is the command i found
open terminal and just copy paste this.. and BLAM there be your library again.. phewwww...im more posting this for myself so i don't forget it. but if anyone needs to know..

MORE TO COME!

Moonrise Kingdom

Almost done.. been in Rhode Island shooting Wes Anderson's newest film.

bought a 7D for drive speed and video and a 70-200 IS 2.8 II and am in love with a rented 24mm TS 3.5.. talk about control.. you gotta try them.
also watched the entire 5 seasons of Dexter while here....

some time off then onto yet another set in NYC...

Bizzzzay

So i have been busy shooting for Jessica Seinfeld's blog www.doitdelicious.com. My wife Shara and i have been shooting stills every couple o weeks and i have built up an awesome shoulder rig for my 5D to shoot video for her site as well.
The rig is similar to: http://cheesycam.com/rods-budget-dslr-shoulder-rig/
but with the new Marshall 5 inch monitor and Zoom with a Rode mic.
Also looking into getting the new Ikan follow focus which hopefully will help.

also have been editing bonus footage for the Black Swan French DVD... just random clips put together including extended interviews and the whole length interview with Vincent Cassel.
in total 50 minutes of unseen footage.. JUST for the FRENCH! hahahah ahem... im sure it will come to the states though.

Black Swan DVD comes out on the 29th of this month. I actually got a PS3 so i can watch the Bluray version. darn the luck. anyway.. my 3 part documentary is on both the Bluray and on the normal DVD.. hopefully Fox didnt re-edit my shit. i read somewhere that they took out stuff of Sarah Lane (dance double) footage because of her wanting more credit etc etc.. all i know is that .. well.. Natalie did dance everything that Sarah did.. nobody i know couldve done that.. so props to Natalie.. but not sure how much was used of her in the actual film. blablablaaa... anyway.. go buy it! and support my ass.. well Darren's actually. im sure Netflix wont have it.. but who uses Netflix anymore besides streaming....
ok go buy it.
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Swan-Blu-ray-Natalie-Portman/dp/B0041KKYEW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1301247480&sr=8-2

also when the hell did Bluray prices drop? i always thought it was 50 bucks a pop... but 20? wow.. good to know..

Thunderbolt?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT...

for real? 

http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/

as a video editor and photographer.. this just blows my mind. thank christ Crapple didnt leave the video pros out in the dust.  thank you Apple.. maybe one day i might actually buy Final Cut. 

"The Delivery" my short, sci-fi film

My movie short will be great. it will be fantastic in fact. I just have to make it. When you decide to make your own movie.. absolutely no one will tell you to hurry up and make it. you wont get your check when you finish. and it will suck up a HUGE amount of effort, time and life savings. BUT. i know i can do it. its been stuck in my head for years and years.. ever since i was a bike messenger in San Francisco back in the mid 90's. I wanted a weapon when i rode. why not make myself the weapon. anyway. long story short after commuting every day into Brooklyn to attach myself to a mac to work in After Effects for a company in LA.. i decided that i can make this movie. and why not! i have been studying Darren make movies for the last 7 years... i got this...But something they dont teach you in film school.. (im just guessing cause i never went to film school) is how to get money for your film. I saw a friend of mine try to get money from Kickstart... only to make 800 bucks out of the 20 grand needed. I just have to make my presentation the best i can. THEN take that to people who might want to actually pay for it. I cant afford to make this.. well i guess i could make it for 5 grand of my own money...but i want to be able to pay my crew. And this muscle car chase scene will have to be with my father in law's Kia and not a stripped down 2010 Dodge Charger. As Darren told me one time.. which i will never forget.. there will always be an audience for a film you make. no matter what the budget. People will see it. Its true..... i still want to make something better than an After Effects tutorial about how to make a bike disappear. 

well im rambling now.. just curious. anyone have a 2010 Dodge Charger they want to loan to me for a week? I wont change much on it. i swear. 

This picture above is a concept drawing by my friend Patrick Conlon http://www.patrickconlon.net he did the storyboards for my short. And i turned those into an animated movie short ..but need to add sound effects. 

My biggest push for this was seeing this by Carl Rinsch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOZkLIwbRrw (not sure where the original is with the subtitles) and of course my insane love of my bikes, Quicksilver and Mad Max. Put them all together in a blender and ZING.. my movie short. 

So i must continue or suffer all artists' greatest opponent- procrastination.

NEW SITE!!!!

So i've built my new site .. after.. hmmm.. maybe 5 years it has been sitting there collecting Fountain dust. A lot has happened in that amount of time. i wont go into details but its time i rebuilt.
i will hopefully be posting to this blog more as well as posting more videos on my film page.
I will also post a full gear blog page here as well.. just a list of what i use and what i cant afford to use. etc etc. some links that i look at everyday. mostly camera and film stuff.
also i will have some inside scoops on whats happening with Wolverine which i have already starting shooting the making of for. I hope to keep up a day to day blog for that film.
anyway. enjoy the new site and keep it checked.. i guess i have to add an rss feed... hmmm how the hell do it do that.

Metamorphosis-The Making of Black Swan

I finished editing Black Swan's making of. and i guess its going to be released on BluRay on the 29th of March.

For the last year i have been addicted to reading nerdy camera blogs and soon will delve into that realm as well. since everything i shot on Swan was with my 5D mark II... and soon to be doing the same thing with The Wolverine with Hugh in the summer in Tokyo. i really want to research more into camera rigs etc.

So here is the beginning of Antwrangler's new blog and soon website. "Antwrangler Mark II" like Spinal Tap when they decided to kick out Nigel.
