What is Rack Focus?


"Rack focus" is a camera technique in which a blurry image is slowly adjusted into focus for dramatic effect. We could try to force that metaphor to be our blog's mission statement, but we're not going to push it.

The true meaning of professionalism: Praise for a mild-mannered lighting guy

Has anyone pulled a Christian Bale on you at work?
Has anyone pulled a Christian Bale on you at work?
 

In our insane 24/7 news cycle, the “nuclear” temper tantrum (as Entertainment Weekly put it) of Christian “Batman” Bale is ancient history.

We’re not linking to the original rant from the movie set of Terminator Salvation because we are a family-friendly blog. (Here’s the cleaner Saturday Night Live spoof of Christian Bale).

But from a media production perspective, we’d like to make two vital points about the profanity-laced incident:

1. We believe that the original Batman, Adam West, would NEVER treat his co-workers that way; and

2. We admire the calm demeanor of director of photography Shane Hurlbut and some lighting guy named Bruce, who both maintained a calm and consistent level of professionalism while under the most brutal verbal abuse imaginable.

In the name of decency and human respect, we hope you are never subjected to this kind of unjustified and demeaning treatment in the workplace.
