On the set of Titanic

Posted on August 10, 2011 | Comments Off on On the set of Titanic

Rumor is that this sequence was a giant pain in the ass to shoot. Apparently, James Cameron (seen swimming below) is something of a dictator until he gets all his shots right. The cast was more or less in the water for almost three days until they got everything they needed down on film. (via Unreality Magazine)

You’ve seen it, though you may not have noticed it. It’s known as the Michael Bay low angle spinning shot. The technique is used in all of his films. It usually means shit is about to get real.

The day Bob Dylan “went electric”

Posted on July 25, 2011 | Comments Off on The day Bob Dylan “went electric”

Bob Dylan Newport Folk Festival
On this date in 1965, a seminal event in rock and roll history took place when Bob Dylan “went electric” during his infamous performance at the Newport Folk Festival. A hero to the folk music community, Dylan’s switch to electric guitar was seen as the ultimate act of betrayal by many in the audience, who booed the performance. Urban legend has it that event organizer Pete Seeger was so upset by the act that he threatened to cut the wires to the stage with an axe.

Update 7/17/2012: There is a controversy regarding the whereabouts of this electric Fender guitar to this day. Rumor has it the guitar was left behind on a plane, but a new episode of ‘History Detectives’ says that it is in the possession of a New Jersey family. Estimated worth of the instrument: $300,000 to $500,000.

Watch interviews about it here. Starts at 4:19.
