Here’s a commercial that Colin Duffy and I shot for a company called RecordMyCalls. It’s actually a commercial-making competition, where you shoot a no-budget commercial based off of approved pitches that were made to the company by other users. Click on through and watch it, because every unique viewing gets us closer to the finish [...]
This is a music video for Kele Okereke, the singer of Bloc Party, in his debut single “Tenderoni.” Directed by Greko Sklavounos, we shot this in the course of a day in April on a sound stage in Hollywood. Greko was going for the clean, cold look, simple with strong, highly formal composition. Think Tron, [...]
I can now shave off my enormous set beard for Walk A Mile In My Pradas, a comedy feature that I’ve been shooting for the last three weeks. It was one of my rare forays in to high-key work, but with a lot of help from my crew and the vision of director Joey Sylvester, [...]
Here’s an internal commercial I shot for PUMA. Directed by Nick Corirossi. This was all put together with a mostly-FSU crew over the course of three days, spanning all over LA. Nick and I decided to hit this kind of 90s grunge nostalgia look, with bright colors in run down places, not quite “real” grit, [...]
Here’s the new website, organized a lot better by what I do. Take a look around for a glimpse at my work, and I’ll keep on writing articles about my shoots and the visual side of filmmaking.
Click here for website. The Treasonist is a film I directed in January of 2008. I put its festival run on hold till I could get myself more on the ground. Now I’m ready, so here’s the website — enjoy the trailer and VFX featurette! Know of any good festivals that would like it? The [...]
Click here for website I took a couple of hours today making a website for my film, The Great One. I’m going to start it on the festival circuit soon. Take a look!
Just a couple quick thoughts on the 7d, since I wrote the previous article. – It also has an issue of aliasing. Strong horizontal lines in the frame alias (noticeably), and it only gets worse when shooting 720p60. -Jellocam is almost completely fixable if shooting on a still lens with Image Stabilization. That’s why I [...]
Since I wrapped up Death of the Dead, I’ve been asked a common question: how was it shooting on the Canon 7d? The Canon 7d is a modern miracle in some ways: it’s affordable, it’s covert, and it shoots beautiful video. It looks like a DSLR camera (and is one), but it happens to have [...]
That’s a wrap on Kill Katie Malone; the set beard has been officially trimmed back in prep for the next production. It’s Gary King’s “Death of the Dead,” a Crank meets Dawn of the Dead kinda-sorta meets Not Another Teen Movie comedy feature. Leaving town for what might be a couple months is no easy [...]
