Philip Bloom, Hitler and The Bui Brothers

by Lan Bui on August 31, 2009

Ok, I’ve been trying to get this blog post up all day… I wanted to do something clever… but the day is almost over and this just needs to get posted…

Philip Bloom is a fantastic Director of Photography, Director and Editor of moving pictures. We met Philip once while shooting a commercial in Joshua Tree which is in the middle of the desert in California. Not that we were working together… actually, he was shooting some footage with a prerelease Panasonic GH1 and Vu and I were shooting a commercial for Hog for Kids. We just so happen to choose the same spot for shooting.

We chatted for less than 10 minutes, and I ended up saying… “You are the guy with a popular blog right?”… little did I really know who I was speaking to!!! After getting home and looking him up I then realized we should have brought him out for dinner to talk about the future of film! It’s all good, we ended up keeping in touch via Twitter here and there.

That is until now, when I find this video

In Philip’s words… “Just a word of warning. There is the odd F word in there, so don’t watch if easily offended! Sorry about the odd typo in there…”

If you watched the entire thing, and read the entire thing, you will have noticed why I think this is so funny and why I posted it here.

Rock on Philip!

I wish I was clever enough to make a comeback.

Now just wait for the new Nikon Dxxx much cheaper and smaller as Canon 7D better than Red Two ! :-)

Nikon? what is that? HAHAH

We have used the D90 a lot too… it is great, but the 5D mark II has been the best.

We will surely try out the new Nikon’s when they come out.
