burn desks
today i left a masterclass held by billy williams bsc. he's a good cinematographer, one of the all-time greats many would say but he's a bad teacher. i liked his gaffer len (loughborough i think?) who was completely the opposite to billy. a cockney sidekick to the upper class cinematographer telling tales of katherine hepburn and liz taylor. quite strange talking to a man who's recieved two Oscars though and quite rude to walk out of his badely managed and awfully long masterclass. i know he's old but it shouldn't take more than 5 hours to shoot 3 set-ups. as he said 'the secret is to do it good and fast'.
