Went down to Shepperton Studios this past weekend for an HD camera comparison test. Very geeky and very cool.
A dozen cameras on Shepperton’s Stage E were lined up with helpful camera assistants and operators and DP’s standing by. And homie asked lots and lots of questions (because I’m writing a magazine piece on the tests, yes – but also because I am a curious man).
There is a cafe at Shepperton called “Oscars”. Should the Motion Picture Academy sue?
Also there are lots of sheep milling around Shepperton! Why, it was just like being on an L.A. studio lot – specifically in the executive building.
