It's hard to say 'no'
In the last few days, I had to turn down three video projects for friends. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do them - I would have welcomed the opportunity to shoot something different than my usual style of work, to push some boundaries and try new things.
Time is limited, though. And as hard as it was to say ‘no,’ my first priority is to completing the film I’m currently working on. You...

WatchDevastated.
On a Wednesday evening in April, the community of Pleasant Grove, Alabama, took cover as a tornado approached from the west. When they emerged from their homes a short time later, the devastation was simply unfathomable. The April 27th tornado was a massive F-5 - the second most deadly tornado in history - and demolished whole neighborhoods and communities with its mile-wide...

Those two activities cover the “production” and “post-production” processes. I’ve been finding out that I often forget about the other vitally important step in the process: “Pre.”

The master DP Philip Bloom has challenged us all to yet another weekend challenge. This one is to “epitomize where you live or capture the flavour of it.” A relatively simple assignment.

WatchThis was a fun piece to make. To compliment a photo slideshow, I decided to shoot some live action. The combination of sprinting full tilt through the fire station with the Canon 5DmkII, fast-paced editing, and energetic music make this video quite a adrenaline-kicker.

WatchMy first film with my Canon 5DmkII DSLR. I went out into the forest and shot everything that looked cool. This was a very interesting learning experience. All of it was hand held except for a few shots that I used a tripod for. In reviewing my footage I’ve learned that hand held is good for action movies, but most of the shots I did in this piece should have been on a tripod. Movement is...
Giving this a go!
