![]() One thing that always bugged me about the movie is that the narrator Jean Shepherd said that Scut had “yellow eyes, so help me God, yellow eyes!" Meanwhile, as a viewer, it’s clear that Scut’s iris isn’t remotely close to amber, so what gives? Ward told me that A Christmas Story is based on a book authored by Shepherd called, “In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash” (a collection of semi-autobiographical stories for Playboy in the 1960s). And that’s how Ward became the bully in A Christmas Story. When A Christmas Story’s director Bob Clark saw Ward and Anaya in person, he felt it didn’t make sense for the sidekick to be the tallest, so he told Ward to swap lines with Anaya. He got the role for it while Yano Anaya (who played Grover Dill) secured the bully role. Ward revealed little-known tidbits about ‘A Christmas Story’Īs a teenager, Ward originally auditioned for the role of the bully’s sidekick - not the bully. Plus, the white balance on the iPhone isn’t his cup of tea, making him look too pale and ghostly for his tastes. The photos bring out the redness in his complexion, which he doesn’t like. Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (Image credit: Laptop Mag) Although he has Apple-branded laptops, and his wife owns an iPhone, he has no desire to snag an iOS device. Zack prefers owning an Android - the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE to be exact (we've reviewed it and it's pretty damn good). So Zack’s a Mac guy, whether he’s surfing the web, writing scripts or editing 6K footage, but what’s his daily driver when it comes to his phone? “He’s probably got an iPhone, obviously!” is likely what you’re thinking. Sweet! Zack doesn't feel pressured to get sucked into the Apple ecosystem It's also worth noting that Ward owns an M1 Ultra-based Mac Studio (2022). “This is a full movie-making facility!” As such, he needs a powerful, beastly editing rig that can handle the higher caliber, 6K content he shoots there. “It’s got three stages, eight, 17-foot-long trucks, lots of cameras and lights, a giant LED wall, Unreal Engine tracking systems, and more,” he said excitedly. Keep in mind that Ward, alongside his wife, owns a filmmaking studio in Sun Valley, California called Brilliant Screen Studios. ![]() ![]() It covers a wide range of the DCI-P3 color gamut, pleasing photo and video editors who need to work with a color-accurate panel.ĭaVinci Resolve on an Apple iPad (Image credit: Blackmagic Design) The iMac Pro features a stunning 5K Retina display (5120 x 2000-pixel resolution to be precise), supporting one billion colors. “I have an iMac Pro, a big flat one, that I use as an editing rig,” Ward told me. ![]() Sure the MacBook Air can handle Ward’s lightweight workflows, but it would buckle under pressure if the A Christmas Story Christmas actor attempted to put it through his graphics-intensive, CPU-taxing, RAM-heavy, video-editing process. “Obviously, I work on the internet, review shots, and communicate with it, too.” Zack Ward uses an iMac Pro for video-editing wizardry “What I do on the is a lot of writing ‘cause I write scripts,” he said. Is this a “Be careful what you wish for” situation? When the laptop industry does finally make a habit of rolling out decent webcams, will we be longing for the days when our laptops didn’t pick up every single minute detail, including our insecurity-inducing flaws? After putting a pin in this thought, I curiously asked Ward what purpose the MacBook Air currently serves in his life. Ward was simply being tongue-in-cheek, but little did he know that made me reexamine my disdain for most laptop webcams.
