Recent Format Agnostic Professional Works

I can hide them almost as easily as a Pepper.

OK, gotta ask.
My assistant also works on a lot of film sets and we've been arguing over "pepper" for a year now. I think a Pepper is any kind of small electronic flash, mostly the kind you could mount on the hotshoe of an SLR (e.g. "speedlight"). He thinks it refers to strobes made by a specific brand name I can never remember. What do YOU think this means? I've got a 6-pack riding on this if I can convince him I'm right.

I'll take one too:)

Peppers are great until the focusing worm screw gets rusty from the heat then they are hard to focus.   I used them in 200 and 420 watts.  

Shall we do "redheads" next?  I love those too.

Beers all around....
Alan (my PA) had it right; he was not saying strobe after all.
Now I've gotta go find Mark Costantini (former PJ from the San Francisco Chronicle) and tell him he taught it to me wrong!

I've been saying "Inky" for any small-wattage fresnel light. Arri, Dedo, Mole...

Let's not forget the Blondes.

A lot of people do...on both counts.

Blondes....aren't those redheads with bigger globes?

Sort of on the subject, I have seen a number of APs who are using the Lowel VIP Pro lights as their mini halogen lights and wonder why, since these lights don't have the same light quality as do fresnels. Yes, these lights are a bit less expensive, but I wouldn't think that would be that much of a difference for an AP who has plenty of way more expensive equipment in the kit.

My assistant, who also shoots architecture, got the Lowel Pro Lights.  They are cheap and you can fit a ton in a case.  I like their light quality.  Not a fresnel but but nice and smooth.  For me... after getting DedoLights, nothing else will do.

The latest gear..

The latest gear..

Looks like an old 4x5 Field camera (in pretty good condition).

That's from the 1960's "Blow Up" movie.
The movie itself is not big deal. Just curious

Chris, Are you using the LED Dedo lights?  Jim

Jim there was another european movie from the 70's. The guy had a Pentax 67 and shoot models and did montages with them, that's where the trama starts, I just can't remember the title, well that movie changed my live. I wish I could find it and watch it again.

Another great movie, more recent is Palermo Shooting (2008).

[Chris Barrett]

These guys, Jim.  Best inky on the market.  Uses 12 volt bulbs that last forever.

[Scott Hargis]

Yep....those are the inkies of my dreams. Something like $750 a pop, though last time I looked. Too rich for my blood!

[Chris Barrett]

Heh, we carry 6 of them and my assistant and I are often fighting over the last one!
