The single tracking shot, which employs 55 actors, was meticulously researched to remain as faithful as possible to the period in which <em>The Shining</em> was shot, and the culture of Elstree Studios in the late 1970’s.</p> <p>While the props in the commercial were re-created, much of the film equipment seen on the set belonged to Kubrick and was used in the filming of <em>The Shining</em>. The spot was filmed with a 25mm Cooke lens - a favorite of Kubrick’s.</p> </blockquote>http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/20141353722http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/20141353722Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:47:07 -0400stanley kubrickfilmbbcthe shiningamanda yonkerscommercial<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1fkif514w1qgylfno1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Yepp.</p>http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/19883798769http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/19883798769Sun, 25 Mar 2012 03:51:51 -0400carl saganneil degrasse tysonsciencephysicsastrophysicsspaceamanda yonkers<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Twkh7ftmaKs?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>“…you know nylon brings you out in a rash.”</p>http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/19600907440http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/19600907440Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:33:48 -0400the anniversaryhammerhammer filmbette davisfilmamanda yonkers<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m15prkQyx91qgylfno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>latter-day Betty love.</p>http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/19599390336http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/19599390336Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:09:20 -0400betty davisHorror Movieshorror filmhorrorbaby janefilmmovieswhat ever happened to baby janethe nannythe anniversaryburnt offeringswatcher in the woodsamanda yonkers<iframe width="400" height="100" style="position: relative; display: block; width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/track=2648248462/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>sunshiny music for the dreariest month</p>http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/17302429222http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/17302429222Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:42:00 -0500dancedance musicelectronicmusicteen dazesynth<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxam6x1VLx1qgylfno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>California’s First Dog.  Corgi alert!</p>http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/15308460323http://chipsandapickle.tumblr.com/post/15308460323Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:25:00 -0500amanda yonkerscaliforniacorgidogfirst dogstate dogwelsh corgiSutter Brown
