The joys and pains of filming
October 18th, 2005 at 2:10 pm (Movie News)
I had another long day of shooting yesterday, this time on the Ars Mortis project. We started at 7am and wrapped production just after 1am, two hours after our projected end time but not bad given we started three hours late. The production was awesome with a very professional and dedicated crew and a full set of very well behaved extras. Today I am recovering. I love filming but while on set sometimes forget to sit down or eat and tend to pay for it the next day. I think Heather was right when she pointed out this is a young man’s game we old thirtysomethings are playing. Funny thing though is that I so enjoy the art that I have previously gone three, four days of working all-day and shooting all night and seem to have no qualms about it.

Hey dickhead,
Why do you have such a tremendous publicly-viewable image directory if you’re going to deny public access?
I note, with interest, that you have no qualms about stealing images from other sites.

Don’t know if you care, but Lileks is attempting to link to an image you have and , understandably, you’ve called him out as a bandwidth pirate. However, a Lileksathon can be good for pub-ing your site, if you’re looking to do so. Just pointing it out.

Which directory? Do you mean this one: http://www.geekroar.com/gallery/ ? That is viewable by anyone. What directory is denying you access?

Don’t know Lileks, I just visited http://www.lileks.com/ and it looks like a good blog with a good sense of humor. If anyone wants to steal any of the images from my web site they can go ahead and do so, but linking directly to me is just not cool.. if they want to display the image let them do it on their own bandwith and add a thank you link.

I know bandwidth theft is a problem, but I would have defined it as displaying a picture directly on your own site that is pulled from another site, not posting a link that takes you to the other person’s site.
I don’t see why you consider it theft when your URL displays at the top of the page.
Just curious…

The server rule that bars direct linking is not choosy about where the link is coming from. It allows yahoo and google search engines to show my images (or it is supposed to, sometimes that breaks) but bars everyone else.
