some new old work done today

July 28, 2010

sometimes i do shoots with the sole purpose of working on them later in photoshop to achieve what my vision is. this series is a work in progress with many fits and starts and today was no exception.

i had lots to do other than going to the farmers market and buying fresh vegetables but it was the time to sit here trying to make a few, well actually two images happen. but the jury is still out on one of them while i love what happened with the other one.

so i’lll try and let you into my mind a bit and ‘show not tell’ one of the few things i learned in screen writing at ucla.

this is what i began with in the studio, mary made the costume as she has a sewing machine from my idea

dancer suit

here is the final image i originally envisioned. it’s a composition of three different images reworked via layers in photoshop

born of the tree of life

this process i learned from a very talented director i worked with on As The World Turns, Paul Lammers, adapted for sure to what i am doing now but always kept in the back of my mind. tricks sort of act that way, it has come in very useful over the years but like anything good only has limited uses.

untitled

now this image is straight from the session, notice the different quality of smoke and how it affects the photograph, while the images works on it’s own i don’t think it as powerful as the previous image.

here is the another image from the same session that i’ve done a number of times and i might get one that i really like but this will do for now

born of

i guess you can see that i have a thing about birth. it all comes from seeing a movie when i was young showing natural childbirth i was fascinated and i still am by the whole process, but it goes by so quickly i hardly remember seeing my own sons head pop out then body sliding into the nurses hand.

who knows really what generates our creativity. i am happy to be away from the hungry ghosts of the past and to be able to have days like today with a farm fresh vegetable salad for dinner.

don’t you just love summer?

new rules for shooting in NYC on DASC properties

July 28, 2010

here’s a link to the new rules governing filming and photography in Department of Citywide Administrative Services properties

The Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) and its predecessor City agencies have for more than twenty years allowed and supported film production activities on properties and within facilities under the jurisdiction of the agency. Given the frequency and complexity of filming activities by both amateurs and professionals, it has become necessary to codify the process that has been followed over time.

DCAS has adopted rules that govern filming and photography conducted on properties and within facilities under its jurisdiction, which require permits from the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting. These properties and facilities include various City buildings, such as the Manhattan and Brooklyn Municipal Buildings, all Borough Halls, and City and State Courts.

In order to conduct film or photography shoots in DCAS properties and facilities, DCAS approval must first be obtained prior to obtaining a required permit from MOFTB. Forms and documents required for DCAS review and approval must be submitted to the DCAS Film Office no later than four business days prior to the date on which prepping or rigging for shoots is set to commence.

Upon approval, a non-refundable fee of $3,200.00 shall accompany any application submitted to MOFTB for a required permit for filming or photography in DCAS properties and facilities. The fee shall be in the form of a certified bank check or money order, payable to the New York City Department of Finance.

The required fee shall be imposed for each instance in which prepping or rigging commences, is followed by shooting and/or photography for such production, and then is concluded by wrapping, de-rigging, and/or related activities.

The rules were initially published for comment in The City Record on August 25, 2009, and a public hearing was held on October 2, 2009. The adopted rules include changes made as a result of the comments submitted prior to and during the comment period and public hearing by members of the public, filming industry representatives, and City agency officials. The final adopted rules were published in The City Record on November 23, 2009.

The rules are in effect as of December 23, 2009. Click here to read the adopted rules in full.
