Magic hour occurs for about 30 minutes around the time of sunset and sunrise - which also is known as ‘golden hour’. When on set you’ll typically hear the First Assistant Director yelling that ‘we’re losing daylight, people’ in his/her attempt to motivate the crew to roll the next take. The First AD’s not joking around, as there is a limited amount of time to get the perfect glow of Magic Hour. It can get expensive. Nestor Almendros' cinematography in Terence Malick's Days of Heaven (1978); and Phil Alden Robinson's Field of Dreams (1989) are fantastic examples of Golden Hour or Magic Hour on film. https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/6/12/limelight monthly 0.5 2017-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1497279061064-EWF49N8PD3Z5JIS2KPX8/image-asset.png Blog - Limelight One night in 1837 a bright light beamed on a juggler in Covent Garden in London. It was the first use of a Limelight - an intense white beam produced by heating a piece of lime (Calcium Oxide) in a flame burning oxygen and hydrogen. First discovered in the 1820’s by Goldsworthy Gurney, and demonstrated by Michael Faraday, the application of the light was brought to land surveying by Sir Thomas Drummond. By 1856 limelights were used at Fort Sumter at the beginning of the Civil War, and during the night construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. The first theatrical installation was put to use in London's Princesses Theater. Operators would sit on bladders of oxygen and shift their weight to control the pressure. Not unlike a bagpipe of light? Not surprisingly, accidents were common. London’s Drury Lane Theater burnt to the ground after a bag burst. Actors on stage, in the center of the beam were literally ‘in the limelight,’ however the turn of the phrase outside of the theater really caught on around the turn of the century. Because the light was so intense, and because (reportedly) the light had a slight greenish hue, actors would get ready and rest in a room painted green. This was to allow the actors to adjust their eyes. It’s been said this is the origin of the term ‘green room.’ Although other sources say that ‘green’ is the area of grass where actors would wait to go on stage, the term is still used for the talent preparation room to this day in theater and television production. https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/6/1/k-for-klieglight monthly 0.5 2017-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1496355720393-R5J8ER8DCWXG1WV3YE5H/image-asset.png Blog - K for Klieglight A Klieg light is an intense carbon arc lamp especially used in filmmaking. It is named after inventor John Kliegl and his brother Anton Kliegl. They usually have a Fresnel lens with a spherical reflector or an ellipsoidal reflector with a lens train containing two plano-convex lenses or a single step lens. And if you understood all that, you already know what kind of lamp this is. When introduced in the 1920’s the two carbon rods burnt so brightly, they would have to be replaced every two hours. The modern versions use xenon or mercury and argon to produce light. The light is so intense, it can be seen from up to 35 miles away. Lights with 1.4 billion candlepower have been used to communicate with the International Space Station, announce movie premieres, and (of course) to signal for Batman! https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/4/18/intermission monthly 0.5 2017-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1492538659168-TJFP0DB4CMY7SSHE0746/image-asset.png Blog - Intermission https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/3/29/hmi monthly 0.5 2017-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1490810661044-KFT2W94NVGV7GXRRWI9Y/HMI.png Blog - HMI https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/3/20/gaffer-tape monthly 0.5 2017-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1490022601351-GWOILGWGH351Q7KXZKRL/image-asset.png Blog - Gaffer Tape Gaffer Tape binds the universe together! https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/3/6/focus-puller-or-1st-ac monthly 0.5 2017-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1488812802438-O9AXG65ZRNXIC2XEQK4W/image-asset.png Blog - Focus Puller or 1st AC The Focus Puller, also known as the First Assistant Camera, or 1AC, is responsible for achieving the correct focus for every camera set up. 1AC's have a lot of responsibility on the set, and for the production. The 1AC is part of a larger camera department. The 1AC typically will calculate the correct focus for a particular shot by measuring the distance from subject to the lens sensor or film. You'll often see them with a range meter or laser or a good old fashioned metal tape measure. You'll also see the 1AC with some colored gaffer's tape to help them with spots on the set to corresponding notes on their physical ring. With really large budget shows, you may even see a focus puller using a remote device, rather than hanging off the side of a camera. See https://shop.redrockmicro.com/microremote/ for examples. Focus pullers get a real workout when they're required to 'pull focus' or 'rack focus' during a particular scene. At the end of the shot, or when the director yells, "cut", the Focus pullers are also responsible for 'Checking the gate' - which is to look for hairs or broken film which would ruin the shot. In the modern era, this is usually accomplished by checking the sensor. If there's anything wrong, they'll have to shoot the scene or shot again. https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/2/14/extras-1 monthly 0.5 2017-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1487112395768-AUYZTX5BT7N4M7E2OGB4/image-asset.png Blog - Extras A background actor or ‘extra’ is a professional performer in a film, television show, or stage production, who appears in a nonspeaking or non-singing (silent) capacity, usually in the background. https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/2/3/dp-director-of-photography monthly 0.5 2017-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1486137565451-9ESWUVU2BA0XOZ2DVD15/image-asset.png Blog - D.P. - Director of Photography Director of Photography, Cinematographer, DP https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/1/23/c-is-for-c-stand monthly 0.5 2017-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1485189062444-S0VCZGCGMZVA3G5AF3PC/C_Stand.png Blog - C is for C-Stand https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/1/17/b-is-for-best-boy-or-girl monthly 0.5 2017-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1484667975141-FODK72VJF1XS44S01OJH/image-asset.png Blog - B is for Best Boy (or Girl) Best Boy Grip and Best Boy Gaffer https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/1/9/a-is-for-apple-box monthly 0.5 2017-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1484068571982-4GZXN4FSAEPIQOYQRV7N/image-asset.png Blog - A is for Apple Box https://www.sts-productions.com/blog/2017/1/6/happy-new-year-2017 monthly 0.5 2017-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5845d2a0e6f2e12d64c80c1d/1483723123379-QB474OH9H76QDRX2CXAM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Happy New Year 2017 On set very end of 2016.
