Speaking of Attitude

A couple years ago some of Dani & I’s friends made a fun little movie and gave us each a cameo. It’s good to have friends like that. I was over at our buddy James house the other day (he was the producer)and he gave me a DVD copy and mentioned it’s now available on [...]

I don’t think my attitude is particularly bad

But it was a 17 hour day. Tweet

These Days

I just had two L O N G shoot days. Post production all weekend. Finish a pilot shoot Monday. Prep Tuesday for a Music Video shoot on Wednesday. The location is up in Ventura and they’re renting our HPX and a special lens package. I will be operating and Dani is helping me. Very excited [...]

6 in 5 over 3

What does the title mean? In the last 3 weeks I’ve spent 5 days shooting 6 music videos. I’m tired. But it’s been both fun and challenging. We’ve shot on rooftops, in a studio.

Big Mouths with Small Brains or, “Trust your Instincts”

The Walk of Shame, or “Better”

Often times the ability or desire to wear multiple hats is not a helpful thing. People like to pigeon hole you or put you in an easily categorized little box and they aren’t always happy or accepting when you venture away from their idea of who you are or what you should be doing. I [...]

IFFF Results

We didnt make the awards show because we were shooting more movies. But we found out two days later that they had given our little flick a top award. It feels good to see all of Dani’s extremely hard work be recognized by the IFFF. Thank you IFFF! And thank you Krista for coming to [...]

Non Human Intelligence

I wrote about a video I worked on a few weeks back. I was just the camera operator but got mad props from the director for how I “freaked the camera.” Well, he must have had faith in me cause he went ahead and hired me to edit the darn thing as well and I [...]

Stuff

The last three days have been pretty busy. I’m still tired. Film festivals, shoots and videos to post. I’ll try and get to these things in the next few days. Not that anyone is waiting but only that I feel the need to report. I’m too beat to write right now. So I’ll just leave [...]
