What's Lorne been up to

Hi,

Things have been quiet here so I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to. I was in New York City this week to work with another Colourist. It's interesting to hear everyone's stories and find that you have similar issues to deal with. I had a quick look on his book shelves and saw most of the same

Focal Press,

Peachpit Press

Elsevier

and some other books. I did see some books I didn't have and will order. Most of the conversations interestingly enough were around a Colourist being an extension of the Cinematographer. We work hand in hand. When I got home I started to have a look at my books on colour theory just to review. As I read over old stuff I still find things I missed the first time around.

Last week I cleaned my garage out. This isn't big news unless you me. I had 2 big tubs of books, charts, old film, software, etc. that I don't have room for. It's a valuable treasure trove for me but maybe junk for others. I sent 1 box to a local high school and the books and stuff that was more involved went to the film department at a university. I'm sure your places are full of stuff you have accumulated over the years and don't know what to do with it. Think about donating it.

cheers

Lorne
