December 18, 2024
Recently, Blue Moon Cleaning was contacted by a production company filming a commercial to be aired during the upcoming 2025 Super Bowl. Filming would take place inside a huge abandoned warehouse near downtown LA, and there were only 3 days allotted to prep this location for their film shoot. This building was full of yuck - spider webs, nests, animal waste, extensive bird droppings, and a handful of dead carcasses. The floor had a layer of dust so thick you could write your name in it. The production company needed the building deep cleaned top-to-bottom, and the concrete floor needed to be clean and "shiny". Having cleaned dirty buildings like this before, Blue Moon's cleaning crew knew exactly what to do. These were veteran deep cleaners who knew how to operate critical tools of the cleaning trade like Zamboni floor sweepers and autoscrubbers, swing buffers, manlifts, high dusting vacuums, and more. Working around-the-clock, Blue Moon was able to get this dirty building cleaned up and ready for filming in record time! When you need a large cleaning job done quickly, call Blue Moon Cleaning and let them try to break records for you too. 818-968-6423 bluemooncleaning.comNew Production Hub in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is getting more production infrastructure. Sylmar Studios, a new 300,000 sq. ft. production facility, is set to open next month in Sylmar, Calif. The complex will include six 16,000 sq. ft. soundstages, a lighting and grip department, make-up / hair space, dressing rooms, wardrobe, green rooms and production offices. A 600-space parking structure is on the premises. The studio, which is led by president and general manager Patrick Dempsey, has partnered with Spectrum Entertainment Enterprise division to provide IDF (individual distribution frame) rooms, a high-speed network, and a central plant/chiller system. The building is owned by Bledsoe XC and developed by Xebec Realty Partners. The value of the investment wasn't disclosed. It is understood that at opening, Sylmar Studios will have MPA's Trusted Partner Network certification and operate as a "green studio" with a "zero waste initiative." The facility is also built in an Opportunity Zone, a geographic area designated to encourage economic growth and job creation in low-income communities. Sylmar Studios was designed by Ware Malcomb with XBC Building Company and Bomel Construction as principal contractors. In October, it was selected as a recipient of a Community Impact Award at the Los Angeles Business Council's Los Angeles Architectural Awards. Additional details including the names of any productions that it might have committed to use this space when it opens, were not shared. Tony Guanci, CEO of Sylmar Studios, said in a released statement: "From the thoughtfulness behind the physical location of the space to the dedication to cutting-edge technology, inclusion of best-in-class production studios, and know-how of our seasoned team, every aspect of Sylmar Studios is tailored to redefine the standard of production facilities, setting the stage for an unparalleled filmmaking experience."Carlos R.

Directed by and starring Tina Alexis Allen (Outsiders, Looking for Kathleen actress) the men's room tackles the sometimes overlooked male victims of Hollywood's predatory side. When Crystal Gold (played by Allen) a has-been film star desperate for a comeback receives an offer for a career-changing role, she and her son come face to face with an ugly truth. "It was a fabulous script, the location was amazing - the Wilshire Ebell theater - and it was perfect for shooting with the Supreme Primes." - Carlos R. Diazmuñoz, AMC Dynamic 'backstage' gimbal Inspired by Birdman "I was completely enamored when Birdman came out and the way that it captures that behind the scenes feel and its subversive 'the truth isn't quite the truth' and 'we're kind of acting but then we're not'," explains Allen. While the film would not be one-shot, it sought to create a similar kinetic sense of motion and activity in the backstage halls of the Wilshire Ebell. "We decided to use a Freefly Movi Pro with RED Komodo with ZEISS Supreme Primes to simulate that fluidity. One of my favorite shots is when Tina's character is looking for her son backstage. It was practically a 360-shot. I had to watch my own footing to keep from tripping." - Diazmuñoz "The Zeiss speed was very important at 1.5- ...The lighting was very challenging-To keep it real, the light levels were sometimes very low. The fast, T1.5 Supreme Prime lens was one of the biggest assets on set." Catching the Emotional Turn "The most important emotional transition in the movie happens in an extreme closeup shot in slow motion. Having the right lens for that was everything. Zeiss Supremes are very sharp lenses but not digitally sharp. I paired the 85mm with 1/4 Glimmerglass for the emotional sequence." Carlos R. Diazmuñoz, AMC is an award-winning cinematographer with over 39 years of experience, known for his work across feature films, documentaries, and visual effects, with more than 2,000 productions to his name. Former President of the Mexican Cinematographer Society, Diazmuñoz has collaborated with major corporations and brings a unique, bilingual perspective to his projects, drawing on both Mexican and American cinematic practices. Tina Alexis Allen, a breakout star of WGN's Outsiders, gained acclaim for her role as 'Shurn' in the hit series produced by Paul Giamatti, and has built a diverse acting career across theater, film, and television. A GLAAD Award nominee, Allen is also a playwright and social entrepreneur, known for her one-woman shows and her co-founded jewelry line, NO MORE VIOLENCE, which raises awareness for peace through repurposed bullet designs. The Men's Room will screen at Nashville Film Fest on Nov 15th and The Big Apple Festival in NYC on Dec 11th. So far the film was nominated for Best Short Film and Best Actress at The Studio City Film Festival and Allen received recognition receiving a "Best Actress" accolade at the Block Island Film Festival.

December 2, 2024
WeCutFoam, situated in Silicon Valley, Northern CA specializes in decor for store front as well as for products launching and branding. The company was recently approached by a trade show exhibit and event marketing firm from San Diego to fabricate oversize 7ft Cowboy boots and hat props for his customer, presenting at a Trade Show in Atlanta, GA. Using Styrofoam was a great solution as it is lightweight, low cost and easy to sculpt and work with. We machined the foam, glued the pieces together, patched and sanded. Our artists coated the props with a cast N coat Smooth on and then, using a specialty painting technique and templates, they gave the boots a rustic realistic appearance. The hat was coated as well, then painted light tan, while putting attention to the details, including a silver bucket and a colorful patterned ribbon We then assembled and connected them both together, so that they can be hung from the ceiling or a crane. We placed plywood and hooks inside the hat's top. The whole build, weighing only about 75lbs, was secured to an extra large crate weighing about 1000lbs and shipped to the trade show in GA. About the Company. WeCutFoam is one of the leading fabricators of foam products in the Bay Area, serving the entire U.S. for over twenty years.
