I'm about to head into my first show of the year, a cop drama feature film called "The Lookout", with first time director Gustavo Morales; before I go off the map, I'm getting a head start on color looks for "Haley", a music video I shot a couple weeks ago for director Trevor Durtschi. Here's the prelim look I've shared with production-- there's no sound, so don't crank up your speakers digging for it.

MTV Tr3s Top 100: Holiday Edition

Little show from a few weekends ago just went up; thanks to director Carlos Lopez Estrada as well as my Gaffer, Coco Moore, and Jenny Hou, who lent me some of her many talents, pulling focus for the show. Colorist Trevor Durtschi did a great job sweetening that holiday feeling, and Cameron Clark's VFX work is spot on. Check out Carlos' director's cut!

F3 in AZ
Archive article, originally written December 29, 2011
Just wrapped shooting in Pheonix, Arizona with 3RoundBurst, shooting for broadcast with a pair of Sony F3s.
The show was a run and gun affair, and I was glad to be joined by AZ locals Webb Pickersgill and Nick Labord as B cam operator and utility, respectively. We also sourced much of our equipment locally, gathering one of the F3s as well as much of our lighting from Pheonix rental house Broadcast Rentals.
As a side note, lensing this show reminded me how slim a selection there is of lightweight PL zooms if you can't afford Angenieux's DP line of lenses. To stay on our feet and keep the crew slim we had to carry at most two lenses per camera; we ended up with original Red zooms, keeping in mind the full days of handheld (poorly balanced handheld, as these are F3s) we had ahead of us. I guess lightweight broad range zooms are another one of those things keeping the 2/3" format alive for the ENG guys.
There will be plenty of images forthcoming as 3RoundBurst heads into post with this project.

Unconditional Life's "Haley": A Visit to Ridgecrest, CA
Archive article, originally written December 16, 2011
Just got back from a weekend of hard-and-fast music video photography with director Trevor Durtschi and producer Geoffrey Leatham in Ridgecrest, CA. That's another couple hours north of Palmdale, which is my typical measure for "out there a bit." The town was a great place to shoot, though; Geoffrey sourced PAs and extras locally and found all of our locations at no charge. It's always a relief to get out of Los Angeles and remember how psyched most people are about what we do for a living.
"Haley" is a video about an old miner looking back and realizing that he's missed who could have been the love of his life. Trevor and Geoffrey's biggest concern was to aim for a more cinematic look than a video, graphic look; every shot was to be more about telling the story than about sweet lens flare. So the video has a more measured rhythm throughout the story segments.
It was cold up north; the only break we got was our second night exterior, which featured two raging bonfires, courtesy of our pyro team.

MTV European Music Awards
Archive article, originally written September 30, 2011
Had a little fun this week shooting a couple inserts for a spot MTV had already photographed for their European Music Awards. We had the pleasure of five minutes in Jared Leto's life (five minutes, very serious; he's a damn busy man!) and a slice of Jessie J's VMA rehearsal time to shoot the material. It was definitely a special kind of pressure to work under, but time constraint is not unfamiliar territory.
