New work from my work

Another story that I produced/shot/edited for the College of Engineering at Lehigh University has been released. In fairness I didn't shoot the boat action shots but I did stabilize them in After Effects so they're kind-off mine too.

Some recent work for Lehigh is online

A new story that I produced for the College of Engineering at Lehigh University has been released to the public.

Sound-checking with Rick

Lost a good man yesterday. My little tribute.

new Slacks video online now

My experience at Workshops lives on in a new music video for my buds Slacks. I used the video from my final project for my class "Camera and Visual Storytelling", gave it a new edit and applied a little Slacks music. Presto, new music video.
I wasn't entirely happy with the original, MMW edit, which was kind of slapped together on a less than awesome laptop and the original music was dreadful. This use of the work is so much more preferable to what it was. I'm happy with the results, hopefully Slacks fans are as well.

Back from the Workshops

Last week I had the pleasure to revisit the Maine Media Workshops, this time to study "The Camera & Visual Storytelling" with Steven Fierberg, ASC.
It was...deep. I'm still picking up the pieces in my mind, trying to put it all together in some useable context. In addition to being enormously talented and knowledgeable, Steve Fierberg is also very cool. I learned a lot from him and my fellow classmates, mainly about film-making but also about myself. It was great experience, one that I won't soon forget.
Below are some shots that I took for our Photo-Roman exercise. The whole set (most of it anyway) is posted on my Flickr page. The link is at the bottom of this post.

Here's a set of behind-the-scenes shots from the class. They're really only interesting if you're curious about film school. I wish I'd taken more.
