Today we are highlighting…set painters! Set painters are pivotal members of many productions who work closely with production designers and directors to paint sets, props, and other design elements which give color and vibrancy to the frame. We had the pleasure of working with set painter Karen Falkner in L.A. during production for the 2024 Unions Power America Contest. Her short time in front of the camera helped educate audiences about how set painters add their skills to the filmmaking process. Here’s to filmmakers of all occupations and backgrounds! .

Time for another movie recommendation! This week it’s Alastair’s turn, and his recommendation is “Chungking Express.” . “Chungking Express," directed by Wong Kar-wai, is a mesmerizing exploration of love and loneliness in bustling Hong Kong. The film intertwines two poignant stories, both revolving around heartbroken police officers seeking connection amid the chaos of the city. The dreamlike atmosphere pulls viewers into the characters’ worlds and brings about feelings of nostalgia, solitude, and desperation. With its unconventional narrative and rich, evocative imagery, "Chungking Express" captures the fleeting nature of romance in a chaotic and uncertain world. . #metamer #movierecommendation #filmmaking #chungkingexpress

You MUST choose a side: “GIF” or “JIF”? At Metamer we are of the opinion that GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format) are animated looping images while JIF is peanut butter, but that hasn’t stopped naysayers and contrarians from stirring the pot and using a soft “G” to pronounce this popular medium for memes and email signatures. Where do YOU stand??? Comment below with your opinion! . #metamer #productioncompany #GIF #JIF #peanutbutter #pronunciation #GIFwithahardG

We're here with another movie recommendation for your weekend! This week Rachael's recommendation is Scott Pilgrim VS. The World. . This is one of my top five favorite films and I've probably seen it over 30 times. It has a stellar cast that all play really well together including Michael Cera, Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jason Schwartzman, and many many more! The director, Edgar Wright, not only has a plethora of timely jokes but also uses editing to get some laughs. This film was groundbreaking in the way it mixed graphic novel style animation and live action camera movements. If you want a good laugh, lots of action and just a fun time, you'll love this movie. Plus it's got some great music! Check it out! . #metamer #movierecommendation #scottpilgrim #movie #atthemovies
