Gnashing

A few friends of mine are making a scary/funny movie just in time for the Halloween season. Remember Point B? Well almost everyone who worked on that worked on this as well. The only difference is that we added even more of my friends to the crew! Good to see you Jim Heiner and John Rogers!

The film is currently in post production but you can whet your appetite for the humor by watching the promo videos below. I was on the crew for one of those as well.

Point B

An enterprising friend of mine named Conor Long has created a masterpiece feature called "Point B." I could explain the premise in so many words but the brief description on the IMDB page does it the best.

"Four friends and Graduate students in the physics department of their University discover their clean energy machine actually works as a crude, rudimentary teleportation device. Through experimentation, adjustments and some misuse-use of the device, it is quickly discovered that the machine holds many consequences."

This film was an absolute blast to work on! Nobody got paid, nobody could be there 100% of the time and for the most part the food wasn't great, but for some reason it was the single most collaborative effort I've ever seen go into a film. 

I believe this is due in no small part to the amazing commitment of the writer David Gitlin and actors. David wrote this screenplay in an incredibly short amount of time, (the legend states he did it in one night). However long it took him, he created a great story with tons of wit and humor and made it easy for all the actors to fall in love with their roles. In doing so, every actor was so enthusiastic about their job it was infectious.

I'm not even going to talk about my job on this film because there are so many people above me that deserve more credit. I will say, however, that when this film comes out, look for who may be dancing his ass off in the club scene!

Late Night Alumni Preview Released

Well, it's been 9 months but it looks like the editors finally got around to cutting something together. If you don't remember my post about working with Kaskade and Late Night Alumni, you can read about it here.

Although I wasn't responsible for shooting the interviews, most of them were made possible though my sound equipment which I just happened to have on site with me. Being a small contributor to something as big as this is a really great experience because each moment you can identify as "yours" really makes you feel good once you watch it. I can't wait to see the finished product!

It's fun to see what other people do with your images and although the first 2/3 of the video doesn't seem to have anything that I shot in it you can see a few of my creations as soon as the beat drops. A good way to tell which images are mine is to look for the light streaks. I was the only operator with a streak filter! My favorite image is of Kaskade and Haley the backup vocalist at 2:15. Check it out below.

It's Coming

I know I've been absent for a while but I promise it's because I'm working on something big. I can't give away too many details but I can show you...this!
