The Shining and The Steadicam!

“The Steadicam was first used in the biopic Bound for Glory, but its breakthrough movies are considered to be Avildsen’s Rocky in 1976, and Kubrick’s 1980 film The Shining.”

Information provided by Ben Joseph.  Thanks, Ben!

I was right!

I saw The Shining for the first time this weekend and I can’t stop thinking about it.  First of all, I loved it.  Not only was it the perfect kind of horror movie because it was eerie and suspenseful while also maintaining an interesting story rather than being extremely predictable like so many others. Two things that greatly contribute to why I loved The Shining so much are: Jack Nicholson. Cinematography.  There were so many times in this movie when I was left trying to figure out how they were able to shoot it.  The scenes of Danny riding through the hallways were continuous shots where you could easily see his path from far away and follow him to each point, meaning that no dolly was used…leaving options like an extremely skilled SteadiCam operator (if SteadiCams were around in 1980)?  Anyway, in terms of color and overall skill in pulling off such natural, smooth shots, this movie was absolutely awesome. Anyway, I look forward to do some reading about the making of this film over the next couple of days.

Jing Pops Up

Some of you know about my video series (of 2) called Jing Pops Up.  Well, Thanksgiving is coming up and I get to see my great friend Jing when I go home!  I’d like to have a new theme for this one (the last one was “playing frisbee”) and I’m looking for ideas!

If you’re a fan of Jing Pops Up and you’ve got an idea for the next one (or two!), email me!

amandalynferri: I started to feel bad about my wall comment to Mandy so I blamed it on Caitlin.  I don’t feel bad about blaming Caitlin. See: http://amandalynferri.tumblr.com/post/56195690/sometimes-i-am-funny-great-news-i-am-an I watched Amanda do it, watched her feel bad about it, watched her think of someone to blame, and then watched her pick me.
