It was a dark and stormy night..
And I was trying to shoot off the last few frames. Looking at the TV (a crt) I decided to shoot the last few frames of Ali fighting Frasier. As I squared off and focused the image I noticed the meter going absolutely nuts. Now I've shot TV's before without this effect but for some reason this TV was either broken or bombarding my camera with so much RF that it was freaking the meter out. At first I had theorized (and still do, I suppose) that the camera is picking up the scan lines and metering the scene so well that it was vacillating between odd/even fields.
I could be full of it so I encourage others to consider why my meter freaks out in front of a boxing match.
We'll see how the film turns out...you know, with orbs and what not.
Yeah.
