I actually got that one for free from one of the Panavision techs. I called him to come calibrate the Director’s monitors on set one day and he saw me wearing a Camera Division hat and one of my other camera assistants was wearing an Otto Nemenz hat (both are other camera rental houses in Los Angeles) and he said “we can’t have that!” So he goes to his car and comes back with two hats for us! They’re always carrying Panavision swag in their cars when they come to set, but usually it’s extra large t-shirts. Uugh. So I was happy to get the hat! ;)
SWEEEETTT!!!! That's a fantastic way to earn your Panavision Hat! I'm happy you got it and I am sure you deserve it too! Thanks for the background and cool story! Stay awesome!
