Lights, Camera... ACTION!

This is my homage to the early days of cinematography in Hollywood. I first started working on it over 5 years ago!

It was a skilled job to operate the camera as you had to learn to hand-crank it at a slow and steady rate of exactly 2 revolutions per second to achieve the desired 16 frames per second on the actual film reel.

I also tried a different colour scheme for the chair, and I couldn't resist trying the light in full chrome!
