The Podcast
  • I'm currently listening to the HE podcast number 15 and in regards to your discussion about 35mm cameras. What Josh was trying to explain is that Panavision, who is the largest 35mm film camera company, does not sell their cameras, instead they rent their cameras to the production. This is because than they can have control over who puts the Panavision name at the end of their movie (it's like quality control).

  • joeljoel June 2008

    That's ridiculous. All of my movies are going to say "not filmed in panavision" from now on.

    lol I wonder if Its possible to search out what terrible movies have had Panavision on them for fodder

  • jacob666jacob666 June 2008

    hasn't almost everything had panavision? i guess not. nevermind, i'm an idiot.

    Not every film uses Panavision, Arriflex is also popular among film cameras, and of course a lot more films are being shot in High Definition with cameras like the Red one.
    But yes there are LOTS of films shot in Panavision, stay until the end of the credits and you'll see.

  • jacob666jacob666 June 2008

    is there a big difference in panavision, arriflex, or red1? mind you that i know nothing of cameras other than what i've heard joss whedon talk about in commentaries from firedly to buffy.

    i can usually tell film from HD (at least i think i can) but that's about it. please enlighten me as i am a curious party.

  • FerrosFerros June 2008

    Once you know what you're looking at it's easy to tell the difference between film and video but with HD stuff you need all the required technology to spot the difference.

  • jacob666jacob666 June 2008

    i know what video looks like thanks to a little film called "overdrawn at the memory bank"

  • Honestly I don't know that you would be able to tell the difference between a film shot in panavision vs. a film shot on an arriflex, they are both film cameras, and the look would depend on what type of film was used.
    I've only ever used 16mm cameras so I don't really know for certain.
    I'm sure a veteran cinematographer might be able to tell, but the rest of us can't.

    i'm surprised that he agreed to do something of that caliber. i'm not a raul juliaphile by any means but hadn't he done some prestigious films before hand?

    and that is a fantastic season of mst3k

  • John+DarcJohn Darc June 2008

    Raul Julia did Street Fighter.

    and then he died.

  • FerrosFerros June 2008

    For all the shit Street Fighter gets i still reckon Raul Julia was reasonably decent in it. He knew it was a P.O.S. and was suitably over the top and chewed the scenery excellently plus who can forget this brilliant line.

  • RerunRerun June 2008

    You guys keep talking about how long they go for and how it's a bad thing. Personally, I love the length, the longer the better, that way while I work I can listen to you guys for the entire duration...

  • FerrosFerros June 2008

    I've gotta agree, i really don't mind the length of the shows as long as you guys are enjoying it just keep recording.

  • Mike+BradyMike Brady June 2008

    I find I get impatient with podcasts somewhere around the hour mark, personally. Not that I don't enjoy the HE podcast, of course, but if it starts rambling I'm more likely to switch to something else. Sounds like I might be in the minority, though.

  • FerrosFerros June 2008

    I do tend to break up podcasts if they get very long. Listen to an hour here and there, helps pass the time at work when i'm not busy or when i'm doing my own exercise.

    Good point. It doesnt matter how long it is, really, because it isnt live and you can listen or fast forward as you like.

    I still would like to keep them under 2 hours.

    Yeah two hours is pretty much the perfect length for a podcast, plus it's your friday night and i figure you guys have other stuff you want to be doing.

  • EddieEddie July 2008

    I'll be honest; I don't mind how long the podcasts are, so long as I get my weekly fix of HE goodness. *taps inside of elbow* I'm not saying ya'll should sit around and force a six-hour podcast, but I'm perfectly okay with them being 1-2 hours.

  • Mike+BradyMike Brady July 2008

    Yeah I can live with two hours, but I do think it's wise to keep that as an upper limit.

  • Jonny+AceJonny Ace July 2008

    i don't care how long they are, but 2 hrs seems to be the best so far!

  • SeanSean July 2008

    2 hours seems to be the "natural" HE podcast length, but I enjoy them no matter how long they go. I say just keep doing what you're doing - talking as long as you feel like, and then saying "OK folks, we're done". Don't force them to be longer or shorter than you're comfortable with each week, because that would probably come through to the listeners.

  • jacob666jacob666 July 2008

    i'm with eddie on this one, i think you guys should really sit down for an infinity hours podcast.

  • Jonny+AceJonny Ace July 2008

    a 24 hr podcast would be an amazing event. you could do it for charity . contact your local tv station, radio station, and newspaper and let them know about it, and get more FB's then ever!!!!! i know this sounds a insane, but i'm completely serious.

    I think anything beyond the mere mention of "infinity hours" would break reality.

    Hookers and blow sounds like a Josh type of thing, Eli spent his money pimping out his burro.

    Could I 'hypothetically' store some 'hypothetical' incriminating evidence in your *ahem* hot tub?

  • AaronAaron July 2008

    @ Rerun

    "Hypothetically" Yes.

  • EddieEddie July 2008

    @Rerun and Aaron

    I think we should all do our "hypothetical dirty laundry" together, and then pay someone else to "change the water", as it were. That way, hypothetically, we all have an alibi.

    Again, completely unrelated, anyone feel like making $20? There's a tub that needs to be emptied into the ocean...

  • RerunRerun July 2008

    Somewhere discrete, as if you were hiding, oh I don't know, let's saaaaay dead bodies...

  • EddieEddie July 2008

    Oh, but of course, it's just bio-waste...that may or may not have residue that used to be orphans.

    ...Listen, officer, all I know is that I was hanging around an empty industrial tub with a couple people as some guy in a pickup truck full of acid happened to be in the driveway. I think he was lost. Yeah, that's it, lost.

  • AaronAaron July 2008

    Hypothetically after the acid the only thing left over may be a few tough bones and orphan and hooker stink. Looking at it that way we can probably contact the nearest Arbys and get a hold of the guy who empties their fryers. He's used to that type of thing.

    Hypothetically, I know that guy has a meth lab under the fryer.
