More Blood
I've got some cool news to pass on here (and a review of The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford that I've averaged about a sentence on per day since I saw it last week), but I think it's going to have to wait until I've caught up on sleep and all the other things I'm supposed to be doing when I'm not working on this shoot. Sixteen hour days can sure throw a kink in your schedule - but it's hard to complain when they're so much fun. There's always plenty of blood, severed limbs and steadicam action (not to mention self-pleasuring homeless men who happen to wander onto the set) to keep things lively. Almost makes me want to make a horror film myself.

Is that an AG-HPX500P?

Yep!

I just shot a 3:30 single-take at 60 fps to test it for a review for the Fall issue of Filmmaker. It was too big and heavy for what I used it for, but it came out all right.
Happy with it?

That's a heck of a long take. We haven't really had to keep more than one 16 gig card in it at any time, but it's nice knowing there's that extra space. The best thing about it, in my opinion, is the fact that you can put another lens on it. We put some really nice glass on it, and it makes all the difference in the world, especially since we're doing almost all night shooting.
