Congratulations, Ruth, on five years cancer-free! And glad to hear you're on the mend from H1N1. You are indeed strong and resilient!

Ruth, you are one tough cookie. If you could survive the tumble down the elevator shaft and a bout of cancer, H1N1 should be a cinch for you to overcome. Get well soon. We need you to keep us in the loop!

I worked on "Ice Harvest" with Mike Starr, and although he usually plays the heavy, he is one of the kindest guys you will ever meet!

Congratulations to my Columbia College Chicago,from a 1976 graduate! I took film techniques from Dan Lundmark,Charlie Ernst with Dave Moravec/ We had saturday class 9-5, and we are both IATSE 476 members. My son is attending part time, and I wish success to all that attend this new facility, in will be much needed to keep the production personnel base here in Chicago, viable to service the current feature and commercial productions.

As talented as Kevin Dunn is as an actor (my favorite
roles of his are in "Hot Shots" and as Samantha Who's
dad), he is not currently freelancing in Chicago as a
lo-budget DP. My name is Michael Dunne and I shot
"Black Mail" for Hurt McDermott. We had worked
together previously when I shot "Nightingale in a Music
Box" and we have had a lot of fun working together
over the years.

Saying that you are comparing the DSLRs to an Arri
435 doesn't tell us anything. You are really comparing
the DSLRs to the FILM STOCK inside the 435. One of
the main benifits of film is you can use different
stocks for different scenes. What stocks will be used
for which scenes in the test?
Besides "image quality"
there needs to be a factor for manipulatability during
post. The H.264 on the DSLRs looks good initially, but
turns to garbage when you start pushing and pulling
the codec apart during the post process. Just my
two cents.

That's great! I love it when Chicago people bring the work back home! Hopefully Chicago actors and production talent will be more than PAs and extras.

Len, absolutely! Now Cinespace needs to open that rumored studio to accommodate these productions.

Well, now we now where the senior union members will be working, we need a couple more projects during this time frame, so that EVERYONE has a chance to work.
