I felt weird telling my class that I wanted to do a movie about ninjas because practically everything about them now is campy and stupid (i.e. Ask a Ninja). I wanted to make a real fucking ninja movie. I was dead serious.
2 things were supremely gay about the bolex camera:
1. I literally had to go to a dirty, dusty small corner room in the workshop, hide myself under the huge black coat, and change the film in that small bit of darkness. It was the biggest pain in my ass and I'm so glad I don't have to do it again. 2. On the second day of shooting, on our second roll of the day, the camera started behaving oddly. When I got back to my house, it turns out in the middle of filming the film snapped. Most of the film got off the spools and bunched up into the housing. Essentially, all that footage was worthless. So that sucked dicked. But what we reshot turned out well, so meh.
man, they didn't give you a changing bag? The Bolex sucks, definitely use an Arri next time even if you have to rent it yourself, it makes filming a pleasure. Once you've shot with an Arri, you'd never want to touch another camera again other than a Panavision.
