The bonus is if you make a good connection with someone you will eventually work with, or even more rare — get discovered and go on to make bigger and better projects. Hey it’s happened before. Just ask Robert Rodriguez, Lee Daniels or Darren Aronofsky, who were all discovered through their work submitted to film festivals.</p> 427 428 429 430<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not all film festivals are created equally. In fact, some types find this the perfect opportunity to take money from you and provide nothing but disappointment and false promises in return.</p> 431 432 433 434<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How can you tell a film festival is not legit?</p> 435 436 437 438<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Red Flags to Look Out For:</h2> 439 440 441 442<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Deceptive Festival Name</h2> 443 444 445 446<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Scammers will try to piggyback on the caliber of a name like<em> Cannes</em> or <em>Tribeca</em> or other notable film festivals with a name that closely resembles it. </p> 447 448 449 450<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Examples of shady festivals trying to get you to believe they’re big:</p> 451 452 453 454<ul class="wp-block-list"> 455<li>World Cannes Film Festival</li> 456 457 458 459<li>Alaska International Film Festival (trying to sound like the respected Anchorage International Film Festival)</li> 460 461 462 463<li>Emmy Star International Film Festival – Not associated with the actual Emmy’s. </li> 464 465 466 467<li>International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema (Don’t know what this one’s trying to be but it’s trying real hard.)</li> 468</ul> 469 470 471 472<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If a festival sounds legit, or has a long involved name like the ones above, do a little research and make sure you’re submitting to a real festival.</p> 473 474 475 476<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. High Submission Fees</h2> 477 478 479 480<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These sound-a-like film festivals will often come packaged with high submission costs or unnecessary add-on fees. Scam festivals are obviously in it for the money, and they’re going to milk their filmmaker hopefuls for as much as they can.</p> 481 482 483 484<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additional fees to look out for include:</p> 485 486 487 488<ul class="wp-block-list"> 489<li>A photo in front of the film festival’s backdrop</li> 490 491 492 493<li>a party or event after the festival</li> 494 495 496 497<li>an award nomination</li> 498</ul> 499 500 501 502<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The above examples should be free. Charging for the opportunity to get a photo or to be nominated is a huge red flag.</p> 503 504 505 506<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Lack of Information</h2> 507 508 509 510<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Any film festival organizer worth their salt will be eager to tell you about their film festival: who runs it, when the event is, what to expect at the event.</p> 511 512 513 514<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A concerning detail is a lack of details… Can’t find when or where the film festival is? Don’t know if they even have an official screening? Might be time to write that one off as a possible scam. </p> 515 516 517 518<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Worthless Awards Mills</h2> 519 520 521 522<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A lot of unsavory festivals are nothing more than awards mills — giving out awards or laurels that are meant to make you feel good but are ultimately meaningless.</p> 523 524 525 526<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Awards mills offer rolling or neverending submissions, in order to take advantage of the most people. Legitimate film festivals will typically have a specific deadline once a year. Along with rolling submissions, these festivals will also offer monthly awards. </p> 527 528 529 530<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One telltale sign of an awards mill is a film festival you submit to that you are almost immediately accepted into. Then you’re a semi finalist. Then you’re an official selection. Then you’re an award winner. All within a short span of time. Real film festivals are usually going to take months from early submission time to the event date.</p> 531 532 533 534<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The real Rome Film Fest, or <em>Festa del Cinema di Roma</em>, was established in 2006 and is recognized by FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Associations). That means there’s a number of Rome film festivals that aren’t legit trying to profit off that name. </p> 535 536 537 538<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you find a similar “Rome Film Fest” that states it has multiple categories, guaranteed laurels, monthly online awards and exorbitant passes for purchase… you might want to think twice.</p> 539 540 541 542<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If it’s a monthly, online only festival, and has the title “awards” or “competition” in the title, it’s probably not legit.</p> 543 544 545 546<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Amateurish Website and Social Media</h2> 547 548 549 550<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Better yet, if that website or their social media appears amateurish, stay wary. A good film festival will be searchable, organized, and have the web presence to prove it.</p> 551 552 553 554<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If they have social media, take a look at their audience. Do they have followers? Do they have thousands of followers? A large following is a better sign, however people <em>are</em> able to buy followers these days, literal bots that do nothing but inflate their numbers. A large bot following would likely equal few interactions like comments and tags.</p> 555 556 557 558<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are the only people buying a ticket the filmmakers themselves? That’s also a bad sign. You shouldn’t have to purchase a ticket to a festival you’ve been accepted into. </p> 559 560 561 562<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> 563 564 565 566<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These are just a few of the signs you should check out before you pay to enter any film festivals. Do plenty of research when it’s time to submit your film, and stay safe out there. </p> 567 568 569 570<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sources:</strong></h2> 571 572 573 574<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.submittingtofilmfestivals.com/red-flags-warning-signs/">Red Flags & Warning Signs</a></p> 575 576 577 578<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/FilmFestivals/comments/16soizr/film_festival_deep_dive_part_two_red_flags_and/">Film Festival Deep Dive Part Two: Red Flags and Green Flags. : r/FilmFestivals</a></p> 579 580 581 582<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> 583 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 584 585 586 </div><!-- .entry-body --> 587 588</article><!-- #post-## --> 589 590 591 592<article id="post-15018" class="post-15018 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-cinematography category-entertainment category-film-industry tag-adaptation tag-amazon-prime tag-black-and-white tag-camera-techniques tag-cinematography tag-classic-film tag-color tag-film tag-film-noir tag-marvel tag-marvel-comics tag-movies tag-nicolas-cage tag-spider-noir tag-spider-man tag-spiderman tag-split-diopter with-featured-image"> 593 594 595 <div class="post-thumbnail"> 596 <a href="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2026/06/01/classic-film-techniques-spin-a-new-web/"> 597 <img width="820" height="312" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/cat-in-bw.jpg?w=820&h=312&crop=1" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/cat-in-bw.jpg?w=820&h=312&crop=1 820w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/cat-in-bw.jpg?w=150&h=57&crop=1 150w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/cat-in-bw.jpg?w=300&h=114&crop=1 300w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/cat-in-bw.jpg?w=768&h=292&crop=1 768w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/cat-in-bw.jpg?w=1024&h=389&

Spider-Noir is a Marvel property following an alternate universe Spider-man, one in a 1930s black-and-white world of gangsters, private investigators and alternate history. The character was introduced during Marvel comics’ 2009 run of <em>Spider-Man: Noir #1</em>. The series featured a Spider-man in the depression era as a hard-boiled detective and gritty vigilante. </p> 616 617 618 619<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The character would be introduced in animated form with <em>Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse</em> as one of the many alternate universe Spider-men Miles Morales meets. Spider-man Noir is voiced by Nicholas Cage. I wonder at which point producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller went “You know, this character should get a live action spin-off.” You might also recognize those names from <em>Project Hail Mary</em> and <em>Sheep Detectives</em>. Jeez these guys just can’t miss right now.</p> 620 621 622 623<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> 624<div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class="youtube-player" width="620" height="349" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DfowFyDxUXo?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span></div> 625</div></figure> 626 627 628 629<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The full 8 episode <em>Spider-Noir</em> series has dropped on Amazon, and the response has been astoundingly positive. </p> 630 631 632<div class="wp-block-image"> 633<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="15030" data-permalink="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2026/06/01/classic-film-techniques-spin-a-new-web/spider-noir-ratings/#main" data-orig-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/spider-noir-ratings.jpg" data-orig-size="512,640" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-title="spider noir ratings" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/spider-noir-ratings.jpg?w=512" width="512" height="640" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/spider-noir-ratings.jpg?w=512" alt="" class="wp-image-15030" style="width:290px;height:auto" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/spider-noir-ratings.jpg 512w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/spider-noir-ratings.jpg?w=120 120w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/spider-noir-ratings.jpg?w=240 240w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure> 634</div> 635 636 637<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the gimmicks about this show is that you can choose to watch it in “

The contrast, the light effects, the super power VFX… Plus it helps sell the noir aesthetic. </p> 642 643 644 645<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I love seeing bold choices being taken.

This technique is famously used in <em>Citizen Kane</em>. The diopter is a half circle of glass that makes half the lens and half the frame “near sighted” or brings close objects into focus, while the unaltered side of the lens can focus on the background. It creates a dramatic shot that shows two opposing sides of a frame in stark relief. A great way to show conflict or connection, or two sides of the same story.</p> 730 731 732 733<figure data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":104830655,"permalink":"https://bridgetlamonica.com/2026/06/01/classic-film-techniques-spin-a-new-web/"}' class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> 734<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="15044" data-permalink="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2026/06/01/classic-film-techniques-spin-a-new-web/split-diopter-noir/#main" data-orig-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/split-diopter-noir.jpg" data-orig-size="1280,747" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-title="split diopter noir" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/split-diopter-noir.jpg?w=620" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="597" data-id="15044" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/split-diopter-noir.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-15044" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/split-diopter-noir.jpg?w=1024 1024

I’ve commented on a few of these such posts (but there’s so many, it’s overwhelming) I don’t mind telling people “Hey I get it, but right now is not the best time.

Competition has always been a factor, and it leads to some petty comparisons. </p> 871 872 873 874<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right now, we in the film industry are still suffering financially from a production slowdown too complicated to even describe in this post. This all leads to a very unsure atmosphere in the film industry at large — nationally, not just in Atlanta, GA. </p> 875 876 877 878<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of my friends have what we call “survival” jobs in retail or rideshare or food service just to be able to pay the bills.

Seeing so many people trying to move in here, trying to start their career, and being seemingly unaware at how difficult things are right now can flare some tempers. But stay strong. We don’t know what will happen next, but maybe you’ll be on set with me and my colleagues some day, laughing about the latest dumb meme or griping about Net 30s.</p> 895 896 897 898<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, what can you do?</h2> 899 900 901 902<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Moving right now to Atlanta specifically for a career in film might not be in the cards, but you can certainly use this time to learn as much about the film industry as you can,and stay up to date on news regarding the state of the industry. You can do that by following blogs such as mine (omg shameless self promo) but also by routinely checking in with industry trades like <a href="https://variety.com/">Variety</a> and <a href="https://deadline.com/">Deadline</a>.</p> 903 904 905 906<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use your spare time to do your networking.

Screenings were sold out around the country to celebrate the culmination of 9 years of a popular Netflix show. This also got me thinking about the theater experience and what is needed to get butts in seats in a time when people morbidly declare the movie theater is dead. </p> 974 975 976 977<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I went with a group of friends to the historic Tara Theatre. The Tara is an Atlanta landmark, an arthouse theater featuring 4 screens, independent showings, and old school charm. The Tara was one of approximately 600 theaters that did this special Netflix screening over New Years. It was also the location of a scene between Lucas and Max near the end of the finale. The Tara even gifted free movie passes to the lucky two who sat in those seats. Thanks to my friend Charles who came up with the idea. </p> 978 979 980 981<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="5007" data-permalink="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2026/01/03/stranger-things-and-the-movie-theater-experience/stranger-things-finale/#main" data-orig-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stranger-things-finale.jpg" data-orig-size="1440,1418" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-title="Stranger Things finale" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stranger-things-finale.jpg?w=620" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="1008" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stranger-things-finale.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-5007" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/stranger-things-finale.jpg?w=1024 1024

Seven dollars!? In THIS economy? Considering many movie ticket prices in Atlanta average around $15-20 for a basic showing, that was a steal. Tickets sold out in advance of the screening date, and from what I heard, that was the case around the country. Folks wanted to see this in theaters with their fellow fans. </p> 986 987 988 989<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two-day screening over New Years netted theaters $25-30 million in sales – though not necessarily in ticket sales. According to Deadline, the actor’s residuals for the Netflix show kept them from selling actual tickets, so they sold ticket vouchers. It’s a loophole. </p> 990 991 992 993<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Netflix and movie theaters did a similar collab in August 2025 when they rereleased K POP Demon Hunters to the tune of $19m, and got Netflix its first No 1 at the box office. </p> 994 995 996 997<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Streaming culture has changed the way we do TV. Many stories are tailored to the bingeable short seasons of streaming television. But the lines are becoming blurred as streamers like Netflix, Apple TV and HBO put out their streaming content in movie theaters. Partly to gain an audience, and also partly to take part in those award ceremonies. </p> 998 999 1000 1001<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this culture has also contributed to less folks going to the movie theater. You can argue with me about this, but why should folks go see something in the theater if it’s going to be on their TV in a month or two? </p> 1002 1003 1004 1005<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Fall Guy</em>, a movie I really enjoyed, barely got to get its legs up under itself before it was pulled from theaters and thrust onto the streamers. It was actually getting good reviews and word of mouth, but wasn’t given the chance it needed. <em>Fall Guy</em> was released May 3, 2024, made $180 million against its $125-150 million budget, and was pulled from theaters for “underperforming” its opening week. It was on the streaming service just 17 days after its release. When the film was uploaded to Peacock, it set a streaming record, becoming that platform’s biggest film debut. </p> 1006 1007 1008 1009<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Folks have been trying to predict the end of the movie theater experience for years. </p> 1010 1011 1012 1013<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="5010" data-permalink="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2026/01/03/stranger-things-and-the-movie-theater-experience/ticket-sales/#main" data-orig-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ticket-sales.jpg" data-orig-size="985,537" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-title="ticket sales" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ticket-sales.jpg?w=620" loading="lazy" width="985" height="537" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ticket-sales.jpg?w=985" alt="" class="wp-image-5010" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ticket-sales.jpg 985w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ticket-sales.jpg?w=150 150w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ticket-sales.jpg?w=300 300w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ticket-sales.jpg?w=768 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px" /></figure> 1014 1015 1016 1017<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This graph from The Numbers (great resource for these stats) shows that sharp decline into 2020 (we all know what happened there) and then a slow climb back up to where things stand n

It’s very disorienting.</p> 1241 1242 1243 1244<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I’m going to the next method, the method I should have thought of first, which is recording to a separate audio recorder. In film production, we typically record separate sound. That’s why we use the slate (often mistakenly called a “clapper board”) in order to sync up the video and audio. You use the image of the slate clap with the audio in order to match up the audio and video. Of course there’s some tools out there to help you automate this process, but I’m more of a camera person than an editor. And an amateur podcaster. </p> 1245 1246 1247 1248<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="4956" data-permalink="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2025/08/26/the-basic-equipment-for-podcasting/zoom_h4n_comboinputs-jpg-768x0_q60/#main" data-orig-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/zoom_h4n_comboinputs.jpg.768x0_q60.jpg" data-orig-size="768,346" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-title="zoom_h4n_comboInputs.jpg.768x0_q60" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/zoom_h4n_comboinputs.jpg.768x0_q60.jpg?w=620" loading="lazy" width="768" height="346" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/zoom_h4n_comboinputs.jpg.768x0_q60.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-4956" style="width:452px;height:auto" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/zoom_h4n_comboinputs.jpg.768x0_q60.jpg 768w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/zoom_h4n_comboinputs.jpg.768x0_q60.jpg?w=150 150w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/zoom_h4n_comboinputs.jpg.768x0_q60.jpg?w=300 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure> 1249 1250 1251 1252<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, to record separate audio at this stage with better mics, you need a decent audio recorder. <a href="https://zoomcorp.com/en/us/handheld-recorders/handheld-recorders/h4n/">The H4n Zoom</a> is a solid choice. It has 2 XLR inputs, so you could plug in two mics at once, plus a headphone jack to listen in and all the control over the levels. With this piece of equipment you record to an SD card. </p> 1253 1254 1255 1256<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Recording Program</strong></h2> 1257 1258 1259 1260<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re recording to the computer, use whatever you have to start. There’s likely a built-in audio recorder on your computer. </p> 1261 1262 1263 1264<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I use <a href="https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/">Audacity,</a> which is a free program. The free version doesn’t have a lot of options these days, so I only use it to record now, no editing. </p> 1265 1266 1267 1268<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are some podcast hosting sites like Podbean, Descript and even Spotify (with Riverside) that will enable you to record and upload in the same place.</p> 1269 1270 1271 1272<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Editing Program</strong></h2> 1273 1274 1275 1276<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use whatever you want to edit! As long as you can cut your audio files up, you’re editing. </p> 1277 1278 1279 1280<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I use the Adobe Creative Suite programs, so I’m editing my podcast in the same program I edit video in: Adobe Premiere. It’s not the typical use of that program, but I know all the hot keys, I can adjust levels and apply filters and effects, and I can export as an audio-only file. If there’s an editing program you already use that you are comfortable with, start there.</p> 1281 1282 1283 1284<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Podcast Hosting</strong></h2> 1285 1286 1287 1288<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You’ll want to upload your podcast to a host website. </p> 1289 1290 1291 1292<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s quite a few hosts to choose from, but some options include: </p> 1293 1294 1295 1296<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1297<li>Buzzsprout</li> 1298 1299 1300 1301<li>Podbean</li> 1302 1303 1304 1305<li>Resonate</li> 1306 1307 1308 1309<li>SoundCloud</li> 1310 1311 1312 1313<li>Audioboom</li> 1314 1315 1316 1317<li>Spotify for Creators</li> 1318</ul> 1319 1320 1321 1322<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s many to choose from!

Film production is <em>the</em> ultimate group project. (sorry kids in high school, you still have to get along with other people!) Just as you would make a film with a group of dedicated people, the yard sale event comes together thanks to a wide network of people, from the three organizers, to the volunteers, to the sponsors, to the vendors and the attendees. </p> 1372 1373 1374 1375<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There was a lot of well-intentioned pressure from Year 1 to keep going. We didn’t even finish having the event last year before people were asking us when we would do it again. “Twice a year?” some people suggested. We all turned pale. “Once a year is fine” we assured them. </p> 1376 1377 1378 1379<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As 2025 dawned, we got to work.</p> 1380 1381 1382 1383<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking at what we got right and what needed work last year, we started figuring things out. One biggie was that we needed more space. We absolutely packed 24ATL last year, the LED Volume Studio in Dorav
1383ille GA. It was a great space (and that wall is super cool, you should really check it out) but we ended up shortchanging people on space and didnt’ want to do that again. </p> 1384 1385 1386 1387<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus the need was simply greater this year. I know I haven’t discussed it on the blog much but I have talked endlessly about this to folks in person. The film industry is not in a great place right now. People are making the decision to either transition out of the industry entirely, or are holding on with their fingertips and hoping things will pick up work-wise. For this reason, there’s a number of people who just need to make some money or want to transition their business to something else. We had plenty of people who wanted to sell at the event. </p> 1388 1389 1390 1391<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our sponsors this year made it possible to get any further. You can’t host an event without money to organize it. </p> 1392 1393 1394 1395<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tier 2 Sponsors</strong></p> 1396 1397 1398 1399<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1400<li><a href="https://pce-atlanta.com/">PC&E</a></li> 1401</ul> 1402 1403 1404 1405<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1406<li><a href="https://www.cinderatlanta.com/">Cinder</a></li> 1407</ul> 1408 1409 1410 1411<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1412<li><a href="https://imageengine.co/">Image Engine</a></li> 1413</ul> 1414 1415 1416 1417<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1418<li><a href="https://www.keslowcamera.com/">Keslow Camera</a></li> 1419</ul> 1420 1421 1422 1423<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1424<li><a href="https://www.icg600.com/">Local 600</a></li> 1425</ul> 1426 1427 1428 1429<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1430<li><a href="https://www.chapman-leonard.com/">Chapman/Leonard</a></li> 1431</ul> 1432 1433 1434 1435<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1436<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hammerheadwheels/">Hammerhead Wheels</a></li> 1437</ul> 1438 1439 1440 1441<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1442<li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/kodakfilmlabatlanta">Kodak Atlanta</a></li> 1443</ul> 1444 1445 1446 1447<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1448<li><a href="https://createrealtypartners.com/">Create Realty Partners</a></li> 1449</ul> 1450 1451 1452 1453<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1454<li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/479women/followers/">IATSE 479 Women’s Committee</a></li> 1455</ul> 1456 1457 1458 1459<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1460<li><a href="https://mulberrystreetmortgage.com/">Mulberry St Mortgage</a></li> 1461</ul> 1462 1463 1464 1465<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1466<li><a href="https://outonfilm.org/">Out on Film</a></li> 1467</ul> 1468 1469 1470 1471<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1472<li><a href="https://www.shotkraft.com/">ShotKraft</a></li> 1473</ul> 1474 1475 1476 1477<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1478<li><a href="https://peanutgrip.co/">Peanut Grip Company</a></li> 1479</ul> 1480 1481 1482 1483<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1484<li><a href="https://www.bybairn.com/">Bairn</a></li> 1485</ul> 1486 1487 1488 1489<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1490<li><a href="https://mondaynightbrewing.com/">Monday Night Brewing</a></li> 1491</ul> 1492 1493 1494 1495<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1496<li><a href="https://www.actorsfcu.com/about/news/news/2025/08/18/actor-empowerment-summit-solidarity-brunch-chicago-2025">Actor’s Summit</a></li> 1497</ul> 1498 1499 1500 1501<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1502<li><a href="https://www.camerajimmys.com/">Camera Jimmy’s</a> </li> 1503</ul> 1504 1505 1506 1507<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can see Local 600’s writeup about the event <a href="https://www.icg600.com/news-articles/news/2025-atlanta-film-community-yard-sale">here</a>. </p> 1508 1509 1510 1511<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tier 1</strong></p> 1512 1513 1514 1515<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1516<li><a href="https://www.slatetl.com/">SlateTL</a></li> 1517</ul> 1518 1519 1520 1521<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1522<li><a href="https://guerrillagear.co/">Guerilla Gear</a></li> 1523</ul> 1524 1525 1526 1527<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1528<li><a href="https://filmschoolrentals.com/">Film School Rentals</a></li> 1529</ul> 1530 1531 1532 1533<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1534<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ftimeproductions/">FTime Productions</a></li> 1535</ul> 1536 1537 1538 1539<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1540<li><a href="https://www.plazaatlanta.com/">Plaza Theatre Atlanta</a></li> 1541</ul> 1542 1543 1544 1545<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1546<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/colourco.atl/">Colour Co</a></li> 1547</ul> 1548 1549 1550 1551<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1552<li><a href="https://www.therobocup.com/">RoboCup</a></li> 1553</ul> 1554 1555 1556 1557<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1558<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tag_it_tags/">Tag-it-Tags</a></li> 1559</ul> 1560 1561 1562 1563<ul class="wp-block-list"> 1564<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lightscameraremakepodcast/">Lights, Camera, Remake Podcast</a></li> 1565</ul> 1566 1567 1568 1569<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, we had a lot of sponsors!

I’m a camera operator and there’s always going to be gaps in knowledge, new technology to learn, or new techniques to master. And you too should <em>never stop learning</em>. </p> 1695 1696 1697 1698<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So when I entered season 3 of a reality show, I was definitely surprised when the Easyrig production provided for me just didn’t feel right. </p> 1699 1700 1701 1702<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For those not in the know yet (and that’s okay, remember what I said about learning?) – An Easyrig is a camera support system that helps reduce back strain especially when doing handheld with heavier cameras. You probably wouldn’t use one with a smaller camera, like a Lumix or A7s, but for your bigger cameras, it helps a lot to distribute the weight. </p> 1703 1704 1705 1706<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s sort of a vest thing – different from the Steadicam because it’s a lot softer material in the front – and it has an arm over top that carries the camera via a clip and string. Everything’s attached to a pulley system inside the hardshell on the back. </p> 1707 1708 1709 1710<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4796" data-permalink="https://bridgetlamonica.com/img_1480-5/" data-orig-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg" data-orig-size="1536,1536" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-title="IMG_1480" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg?w=620" loading="lazy" width="1536" height="1536" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4796" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg 1536w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg?w=150&h=150 150w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg?w=300&h=300 300w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg?w=768&h=768 768w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg?w=1024&h=1024 1024w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_1480-edited.jpg?w=1440&h=1440 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px" /></figure> 1711 1712 1713 1714<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s straps and things to help you adjust it to your body but what I didn’t know… was that the Easyrig wasn’t one size fits all. </p> 1715 1716 1717 1718<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We started a scene in an office where a bunch of cast members were doing a meeting. It was going to be a long scene, we knew that. It would be difficult to stop and start again, so we prepared for the long haul. </p> 1719 1720 1721 1722<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But as I was operating, I felt the vest slipping lower and lower. I tightened it to the point where it was nearly suffocating, and it was still slipping. The lower portion of the vest where there was a hard point eventually rested on the top of my thigh, and I tried to push through the discomfort. </p> 1723 1724 1725 1726<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, that’s when my leg began to go numb.</p> 1727 1728 1729 1730<p class="wp-block-paragraph">
1730I kept trying to readjust my body and how I was holding the camera in order to find some relief and power through the rest of the scene. But it wasn’t working. My leg was tingling and going numb and I knew there was a problem. </p> 1731 1732 1733 1734<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I finally got on the walkie – something I try not to do during a scene unless it’s absolutely necessary – and called out to production that something was wrong and I needed to set down my cmaera. </p> 1735 1736 1737 1738<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Crickets. </p> 1739 1740 1741 1742<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately for me, they either didn’t hear me or nobody knew who should answer. That’s a problem. </p> 1743 1744 1745 1746<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My leg was getting worse. I was probably just going to cave and set the camera down mid-scene, which was something I was loathe to do. I called over walkie again. No response. But then my DP came in and said “Hey, my B cam needs a break. We’ve got to stop now.”</p> 1747 1748 1749 1750<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And we did. I took everything off, re adjusted again, took a mini-breka, and went back into it. The rig was slightly better after the break but… it was still starting to cut into my thigh. I found myself hiking up the bottom of it just to keep going with the scene. It was rough. I knew something was wrong.</p> 1751 1752 1753 1754<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I ended up calling 16×9 Inc for help. 16×9 Inc is an authorized Easyrig dealer, and the guy on the phone (I’m so sorry I don’t remember your name) walked me through what I needed to know about Easyrig fits. We decided that the right size for me would be a different model, the Easyrig Gimbal Flexvest. </p> 1755 1756 1757 1758<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When I got the new Easyrig it was like the clouds finally parted and I could see the sun. </p> 1759 1760 1761 1762<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So now I’m the first person who will tell female and smaller-framed operators “Make sure you get the right fit. Easyrigs are not all created equally. They are not one-size-fits-all.”</p> 1763 1764 1765 1766<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Putting the Easyrig on</strong></h2> 1767 1768 1769 1770<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Easyrig slides on sort of like an awkward, top-heavy backpack. Whenever putting on or using the Easyrig, you need to be aware of your surroundings and of the people around you. You are now taller and bulkier, plus you have a camera that could swing free and hit someone if you’re not actively controlling it. </p> 1771 1772 1773 1774<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I usually adjust the waist straps first to get the rig situated properly on my hips, then clip on the chest harness part. Tighten straps for the chest harness so it’s snug, and do the same for straps that are connecting the top to the bottom. </p> 1775 1776 1777 1778<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Test the fit by grabbing the vest and seeing if it moves. If it does, you’re not tight enough. Then also test the length of the vest by seeing if your legs can move freely up and down without hitting the bottom of the vest.

Oh my goodness. But let me explain. </p> 1864 1865 1866 1867<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the age-old complaints about movies and Hollywood in general is that there’s no originality left. We see endless remakes, reboots (slightly different), sequels, spinoffs and adaptations. Can’t they come up with anything <em>new</em>?</p> 1868 1869 1870 1871<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I began to dig into this idea, I found some surprising things. Like the fact that <em>Little Shop of Horrors </em>-the musical comedy horror starring Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene? – was actually a remake of a low budget movie from 1960. Did you know that Martin Scorsese’s <em>The Departed</em> is based on a 2002 Hong Kong film <em>Internal Affairs</em>? 1998’s <em>You’ve Got Mail</em> is a remake of <em>
1871The Shop Around the Corner </em>(1940). <em>Ocean’s Eleven </em>(2001)<em> </em>is a remake of<em> Ocean’s Eleven </em>(1960)<em>.</em></p> 1872 1873 1874 1875<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A remake of an old movie can bring a classic story to a new audience… and also sometimes make audiences <em>really angry.</em></p> 1876 1877 1878 1879<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That passionate knee-jerk reaction is worth discussing.</p> 1880 1881 1882 1883<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’d love to see more originality in the movie theater. The problem is — those movies have a harder time finding an audience.</p> 1884 1885 1886 1887<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hollywood studios and executives are running a business, and they want to make money. And working with something that has established IP (like a Marvel movie, or a book adaptation, a remake) somewhat guarantees an audience will attend. At the end of the day, they just want to make money and make their shareholders happy. And they want to keep their jobs. </p> 1888 1889 1890 1891<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway, my friend Erica Strout and I got talking, usually at work in between setups or at lunch. We met on a reality show TV show with myself working as the camera operator and Erica as my camera assistant. We became fast friends. And then we watched movies together. And had a lot of discussions about film in general. </p> 1892 1893 1894 1895<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we’re doing the <em>Lights, Camera, Remake! </em>Podcast. </p> 1896 1897 1898<div class="wp-block-image"> 1899<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="4738" data-permalink="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2025/01/20/lights-camera-remake-a-podcast-about-hollywood-unoriginality/podcast-background-2/#main" data-orig-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/podcast-background-1.jpg" data-orig-size="1400,1400" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="Podcast background" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/podcast-background-1.jpg?w=620" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/podcast-background-1.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-4738" style="width:522px;height:auto" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/podcast-background-1.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/podcast-background-1.jpg?w=150 150w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/podcast-background-1.jpg?w=300 300w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/podcast-background-1.jpg?w=768 768w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/podcast-background-1.jpg 1400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> 1900</div> 1901 1902 1903<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">This amazing artwork created by Taylor Rebyanski! </p> 1904 1905 1906 1907<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Is it always a bad thing to see a remake of a classic (or possibly unknown) movie?

One, “we are seeking” has been in a lot of scam job posts, but it is not necessarily only used by scammers. Two, the weird email they are using. Doesn’t look professional at all. But a scammer might use gmail or something that looks like a company email and a real person may be using a weird email. So it’s not a huge red flag. </p> 2057 2058 2059 2060<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In Blue:</strong> Some misunderstanding of how professional film people work. We see them stating their budget – not necessary for a PA or a Set Medic to know. But some folks <em>might</em> post this (see how this gets difficult to tell a scam job post?). We also have them clarifying that Production Assistants are also “PAs.” It’s nitpicky but you shouldn’t see that kind of explanation of film terms in a job post. </p> 2061 2062 2063 2064<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In Purple: </strong>I redacted part of the name but I’ll tell you that a lot of these scammers have been using weird, backwards names. Like Smith John instead of John Smith. I think it’s because they’re stealing the real John Smith’s info but reversing the name. I’ve seen this before with Jeffery Cooper/Cooper Jeffery, though the jury is still out if there was a real guy being personified or if this was just a fella using every random name he could think of.</p> 2065 2066 2067 2068<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Luckily, we can see what happens after you contact this potential job. I’m redacting their info as well, but we will call them Lily. </p> 2069 2070 2071 2072<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lily applied to the job after seeing it on the Florida film group.
