In Albuquerque, NM they have the world\u2019s longest one.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst filming in Albuquerque for \u201cNightshift\u201d, myself and Tony Selzer, the Producer, went up there so I could do some pretty shots for myself for one of my shorts. As it turned out I was able to get some great high shots of the Sunset over the city which would be really useful for the film too.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cTrolley\u201d was very smooth as you can see from the shots and I was shocked when I got to the top to find a couple of feet of snow. I stepped into in thinking it would be a dusting. It wasn\u2019t. Incredibly just an hour south of here was Tent Rock which was hot and desert like, here I was knee deep in snow!<\/p>\n<p>The sunsets were so stunning I wish had brought both Ex1s with me. One to get timelapses the other to pick off other shots.<\/p>\n<p>This is the last short I shot in the US. The rest of my filming was for the doc which I can\u2019t publish footage of just yet.<\/p>\n<p>I was supposed to go to Venice Beach on Friday with Dandobi and Eric Pascarelli from the DVX forums, but I suddenly took ill on Thursday night and spent the whole day feeling very sorry for myself. I also missed a chance to see Faith Granger\u2019s film. Sorry Faith, Dan and Eric. Maybe if you guys go to NAB we could hook up?<\/p>\n<p>One perk, at LAX airport at Starbucks I met the lovely Evangeline Lilly standing in the queue in front of me, on her way back to Hawaii to film Lost.\u00a0 We discussed protein drinks. Random huh? Cuter in real life.<\/p>\n<p>By the way I had to mention my sound recordist Edwardo Santiago. I have never worked with such a professional and committed soundo. He went the extra mile in getting all the sound we needed. He was fast, had all the right gear and more importantly he cared. I thoroughly recommend him for any work. He does a lot of feature films as well as doc work, He mixes as well as booms and does ADR work. His email is sonanceinscribed@cableone.net. He is based in Albuquerque.<\/p>\n<p>It was also a pleasure working with both Tony Selzer and Vanessa Vassar and I look forward to part two of our shoot next month.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/dsc01088.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[198]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-411 lazyload\" title=\"dsc01088\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/dsc01088.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"428\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/dsc01088.jpg 642w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/dsc01088-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 642px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 642\/428;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-411\" title=\"dsc01088\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/dsc01088.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/dsc01088.jpg 642w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/dsc01088-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>See the film <a href=\"\/films\/35mm-films\/tramway\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Music is from the film \u201cSigns\u201d by James Newton Howard.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/the-tramway\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[875,879,876,878,880,877,874],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
