Set film adaptions in the period they were written!
I quite liked Gould in Capricorn One. He is also very good in the Ocean's movies. Doug- Atomic Age

Thanks for the kind comment. The "Day in the Life" video was shot primarily with a Canon XH-A1, though the Hula sequence was shot with my Canon T2I for the close up shots and a Canon HF S200 for the wide. The Pinup and the Poltergeist was shot entirely on the HF S200. I'm using the XH-A1 less...- Atomic Age

The new Commemorative Air Force HD video of the AZ Wing in flight...
Great Wescam photograph. I just wish they hadn't shot it at 60 frames per second. It gives it that "soap opera" look. Doug- Atomic Age

Production library music was, and is, music that recorded with the specific purpose of being licensed out for use in movies and tv shows. Each track has generic names like "Sad 1, Sad 2" or "Excitement 1"and the like. A library of music. They can be things like say a Glen Miller "In The Mood"...- Atomic Age

Really? When I first started driving (82) car alarms were everywhere. Sometimes just driving past a car would set one off. Doug- Atomic Age

War movie editing errors
Tom Hanks talked specifically about men not wearing helmets in Band of Brothers. They knew it was wrong, and were told so by the advisers, but there were times when you just couldn't tell one character from another so the took some of the helmets off from time to time. Some times accuracy does...- Atomic Age

Another error that can happen, and I have first hand knowledge of this, because its happened in my own movie. An anachronistic object will show up in the background when viewed on a big screen, that was not visible through the view finder of the camera. The view finders of cameras rarely have...- Atomic Age

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
American Idol gets amazing ratings even if it were on TV 30 years ago. A peak of 38 million is really amazing, but that was the show that Elton John appeared on. The show averages about 15 million. The problem with Star Trek Enterprise was that in many markets where it played, it was constantly...- Atomic Age

Commander Fuchida ordered Tora, Tora, Tora over his radio at 7:49am starting the attack on Pearl Harbor. The last planes from the second wave drop the last of their bombs and the attack is over by 9:45am. Almost 2 hours. The attack sequence in Pearl Harbor is about 45 min long. However longer...- Atomic Age

Very true. Oh yeah I don't think they will loose the fans, but what about the casual viewers? I don't know, it will be interesting to see. Doug- Atomic Age

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
2 to 3 million is a lot for a cable show. To be fair, network shows don't get what they used to either. Today a top rated network show will get about 10 to 12 million viewers, when 30 years ago a top rated show like MASH got around 20 million viewers. When Mad Men premiered it was by far the...- Atomic Age

Vignetting pretty much went out with the introduction of sound. In silent films the vignette was often used to emphasize something in the frame, and draw the eye to something important. I think it went out for two reasons, one the audience became more sophisticated about the language of film and...- Atomic Age

War movie editing errors
Actually the vast majority of 1.85:1 films are shot open matte. Hard matte films are really pretty rare. I saw a sneak preview of Pretty Woman about 4 months before it opened. It had LOTS of uncolor timed shots and even missing shots. I worked on the film "Fear" in the mid 90s. I probably...- Atomic Age

The roman film in question is Spartacus. But the shot didn't actually make it into the movie. The error was discovered the next day in dailies, and the scene was re staged about 3 days later at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. The issue of the boom mike in the picture is rarely an...- Atomic Age

They used to use trip wires on horses too. You can't get away with that these days either. While I'm opposed to trip wires, I think live fire at some actors would be good for them. Turn them from nancy boys in to men. Its no wonder we have to go to places like Australia these days to find...- Atomic Age
