Join us as Steve and Sheila, a duo so fine,

We were incredibly saddened by the loss of 1st Assistant Director and producer, Adam Somner. You can hear his fantastic energy, enthusiasm and entertaining storytelling as a guest on The Cinematography Podcast. Here we have re-posted his 2021 episode in memorial and tribute to his blockbuster career. He will be greatly missed. The job of the assistant director is to work in concert with the director and the DP to get everything done on a movie set. As a 1st AD, Adam Somner is trusted by the industry's top directors to anticipate their needs, motivate the crew, figure out the schedule, and drive the entire production forward to finish each day on time. He finds the best way to keep everything moving smoothly on set is though humor, high energy and uniting everyone as a group, persuading people to do things on the schedule and timeline needed to complete the job. Adam's father, Basil Somner, worked for MGM Studios in England, and through him, Adam got a job as a runner/production assistant at age 17. He began working on movies in the late '80's, like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Superman IV, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? He worked under many assistant directors, observed how they took charge on set, and decided he was really interested in becoming an AD. Adam has worked on eight Ridley Scott films to date, as well as several of the late Tony Scott's films. He was first hired on a Ridley Scott film as a third assistant director on 1492: Conquest of Paradise and White Squall, then moved up to second assistant director on Gladiator, (with DP John Mathieson) where he learned how to manage a huge crew of extras and background action from the 1st AD, Terry Needham. On Black Hawk Down, Adam was promoted to first assistant director for the second unit. Black Hawk Down was shooting in Morocco, and the second unit was responsible for most of the helicopter sequences, with lots of moving parts and extras, involving real Black Hawk helicopters and real U.S. military soldiers. After Black Hawk Down, Adam got the call to begin working with Steven Spielberg on War of the Worlds, where he quickly learned to read Spielberg's mind and keep an eye on the details. He's worked with Spielberg on ten films now, including Munich, Lincoln, and Ready Player One. A 1st AD is responsible for coordinating most of the background action. Adam's ability to work on big sets with lots of action, extras and special effects led director Paul Thomas Anderson to hire him for There Will Be Blood, and Anderson has since become a personal friend. Adam finds Anderson's on-set approach to be very thoughtful and measured. Unlike the action-heavy films Adam has worked on, he knew it was important to keep the crew and background actors quiet and subdued on Anderson's films with heavy dialog, such as The Master and Phantom Thread. For The Wolf of Wall Street, Adam was thrilled to work with director Martin Scorsese. Scorsese and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto had Adam sit in during their preproduction shotlisting process, so they were all thoroughly prepared. Scorsese loves shooting scenes with complex background action, and Adam delivered. He carefully rehearsed all the extras in different stages of panic as the brokers watched the stock market crash. For the famous in-flight orgy scene, Adam wasn't totally sure how he wanted to deal with not just one sex scene, which is hard enough, but several at once. So he decided to hire a choreographer to help rehearse and plan all the action, making sure each background player knew exactly what they were doing and taking care that everyone was comfortable with their role in front of the camera. Adam was excited to work with Alejandro González Iñárritu on some of Birdman, and as the 1st AD on one of the may units shooting The Revenant, where Iñárritu and the DP Emmanuel Lubezki “Chivo” wanted everything shot and rehearsed during magic hour. Rehearsals were incredibly important on both Birdman and The Revenant...

Janine Klein, CEO & Co-Founder, and Andrea Canny, Actor & Interactive Learning Specialist, of the Emotional Intelligence Institute (Eii), join Yo to talk about how avatar-led training is delivering human-focused solutions. Eii is taking the power of creative storytelling and instead of using it to entertain, they help people understand each other on a deeper level. Their mission is to create immersive training experiences that blend artistry with emotional intelligence. Janine is an Innovator of immersive learning, virtual and live action simulations and role play experiences. She is a film & theatre actor, storytelling/improv and EQ consulting and awarded playwright. As Owner and Creative Director, she leads her team in pioneering methods for leader development and challenging conversations, making a definitive impact in the fields of defense, healthcare, and education.   Andrea, you may remember, is my beloved sister-in-law and amazing performer with a 40-year career spanning through Asia, Europe, and the USA. She's joined us on 4 other episodes and you can check below for those details. Her Disney career began at Disney's MGM Studios as the original Belle (Beauty and the Beast), original Laverne (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), Adventurers Club, and more. Andrea was voted Vocalist of the Decade on Broadwayworld.com in 2020. She also won Critic's Pick: Best Actress in a Musical 2018 for her portrayal of Mama Rose in Gypsy at the Garden Theatre.   Topics covered in the Episode:       Emotional Intelligence Institute Origins       Avatar-Led Demonstration        Benefits of using Avatar-Led Training       Improvisation & Storytelling Role       Client Feedback   Here are three takeaways from the episode: 1.   A demo really helps put yourself in the role and you will find yourself suspending disbelief. The technology allows one to practice and do a dress rehearsal so the body can be relaxed during what can be difficult conversations. 2.   Avatar-led technology is different than role-playing because of the vulnerability involved in 1:1 conversation with people can have unintended consequences while avatar-led training allows individual practice and results in complete buy-in. 3.   The actor/avatar provides the safe-space (no right or wrong) to allow participants reveal their personal stories that they're naturally open to in life for their own self-discovery.   Other Episodes On Topic:   Ep. 191, The Art of Storytelling: Building Abundance Through Personal Narratives w Andrea Sampson https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/QfjRzAFODNb   Ep. 76, “Don't Take It So Personally!” & Emotional Intelligence https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/2f8jMSuODNb Other Episodes with Andrea Canny:   Ep. 1, Wait, I can Sound Wimpy https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/8iGXusmODNb   Ep. 2, Is Leadership Funny? https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/yGgkAmpODNb   Ep. 3, Betty White: More than Just Funny? https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/dtcRjmpODNb   Ep. 89, Andrea Canny Discusses: Ageism, Interviewing, Pay Gaps, Talents, & Seeing Our Gifts https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/hdtUePuODNb   The Eii Demo Offer: https://eiieq.com/contact/   How to reach or follow Janine & Eii:  https://info@eiieq.com   How to reach Andrea Canny:   Andrea has her own Proofreading/Editing business (books, scripts, etc.) and her coaching studio for corporate speakers and private & group coaching in vocal performance & the business of entertainment for performers.

Claire leads an exploration of Blair's career, highlighting her significant contributions to projects like "It's a Small World," "Cinderella," and "Alice in Wonderland."

An Amazon MGM Studios production is coming to Aotearoa, with Auckland announced as the primary shooting location for the star-studded project.  The Wrecking Crew will be directed by award-winning film-maker Ángel Manuel Soto and feature an impressive cast including Aquaman's Jason Momoa, Guardians of the Galaxy's Dave Bautista, and New Zealand's own Temuera Morrison and Frankie Adams.  Philippa Mossman, Head of International Attraction and Marketing for the NZ Film Commission, told Mike Hosking the Commission does everything they can to incentivise filming in New Zealand.  She said the productions offer significant benefits in the short periods of time they film, including the huge injection of foreign money into the country, region, or community, that's spent on workers or businesses.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a Text Message.Follow us as we go back and see our old friend Paul Kersey who is now living in L.A. during the 80s. We don't remember a whole lot of this movie but we're guessing there are a bunch of punks who don't know who they're messing with and get what's coming to them. So we're just wondering if this is a sequel that tried something new or pretty much followed the same formula as the first film. Join us as we go back to 1982 and watch Charles Bronson clean up the streets of New York, we mean L.A, again, or for the first time, because it's L.A. or, well... we don't know.
