LOS ANGELES — Every day, unit photographer Warrick Page said he jumps out of bed excited to watch — and photograph — cast members and crews creating movies and television series.
Page's latest work involved photographing the HBO series "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty," a drama that chronicles the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers.
One day, the production re-created Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who moonlighted as an actor, filming a scene from the 1980 comedy "Airplane!" Page said everyone on set could not stop laughing at one of the scene's main jokes — a small child telling Abdul-Jabbar (played by Solomon Hughes) that he wasn't trying hard enough on the court. And Page was front and center, snapping a photo of this hilarious confrontation.
