Less talk more action?

Angela just sent me a link to this. Possibly to point out the fact that it's another idea I've talked at length about doing but have never actually done. Always thought it would be cool to do something like the first 30 seconds of this video but actually spell out something or make a "pixel" image. Below is a screen grab from test shot a did last winter thinking it would be a neat music video element. Never finished. I also thought it would be a good nocturne idea. never applied..... Let's make more stuff!

A timelapse spot. Why not?

Send me north. I work well in the cold.

A New Era.

I've spent almost all of my life lamenting that I was not in my 20's durring the 1970's. I love shooting film, classic motorcycles, earth tones. I never wanted to use computers for work and I almost never get excited about the technical inner workings of things.
That said I do love when I am provided with tools that help me come closer to creating the images that are in my head.

When I was in filmschool in 2003, I made a list of specs my dream camera would have. At the time it was laughable as there was no camera in the world that I was aware of that had ANY of these features.

Huge sensor size, Use of any format lens, extremely high resolution, slo-mo built in, operates and handles like a stills camera...
...and oh yeah, HDR.

Over the last few years there have been some majorly exciting improvements in the technology that I use to do my job. The strange thing is that ALL of these changes have been realized in my short career. It's amazing, maybe I need to stop wishing for the past and realize that I'm the perfect age and at the experience level to maximize the use of ALL of the things I've EVER dreamed of in a camera. It's all here.

The only thing I have left to wish for is budgets that will allow me to use the tools frequently enough to master them.
Check out this HDR shot from the EPIC, the last of my wishes to be realized.



But, if you do have a film job for me, I'll still be more excited about that then anyone under 40 anywhere.

More Blood, More Heart Teaser.

Here is a teaser for the behind the scenes doc I've been working on for Hobo With a Shotgun.

More stuff I like.

It would be so fun to be a part of the team who figures out how to do something like this.



I'm really into Aloe Blacc right now. I digg this music video's use of and commitment to split screen. Want to borrow this idea for a few projects. Could be a great documentary tool.

More Phantom

Rain or Shine

This is what happens when you have an idea and don't act on it. Someone else does it awesome and you're left wishing so badly it was you!
