[box]Since moving to Vancouver, I’ve been pretty busy with film school, drawing and learning some software, but as The Shining teaches us, all work and no play means you might chase people with an ax. So I needed to get outside and play. Luckily, a few of my classmates were eager to join me to [...]
I’ve been in Vancouver for about a week now (earlier I blogged about my move here). I took a timelapse while I made the cross country drive. I thought I might as well since I’m driving that far. VFS is a great school so far. Each one of my instructors has worked on major films [...]
[facebook] [retweet] I recently finished my first wedding videography, which you can see on my wedding page, and read more about my experience here. While I was editing on my Mac station in Final Cut Pro, I used several image stabilizers: Smooth Cam, Magic Bullet Steady from Red Giant, and a free-trial version of CoreMelt’s [...]
I was a little nervous leading up to it, but it was a great experience. This kind of work is very interesting. There’s no doubt about it that it is work, but not push-some-buttons-sit-at-your-computer-kind of work. You get to take part in the most important day of a couple’s relationship and their lives. I feel [...]
This is not an easy blog post to write. It’s a large subject that crosses a lot of aspects of my life. I’ve always loved photography. Even before the only photography class I took in college, I loved it. We used large format cameras in that class and I spent a lot of time in [...]
So I’ve decided to start hitting the photography side of things a little harder, if for no other reason because I enjoy it! Out of necessity, I will be taking a lot of self-portraits since that will be the easiest and quickest way to experiment and take photos, not because I enjoy being in front [...]
I posted a photo yesterday on my tumblr photo blog of my Mom sitting inside the flower cooler of her florist shop, MacKenzies. I came up with the idea for this photo because I wanted her to have some more photographs of her and her store, I wanted the practice, and I like the idea [...]
I spent yesterday taking photos with my new Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (see bottom photo) getting some shots while I was at launch and the break down area at Lookout Mountain Flight Park. The idea was to go about and take pictures more of the people of the sport than the sport itself from a [...]
This is a quick little video I threw together of the couple of flights that I actually set up my camera on over the last few months. It’s typically such a pain to set a camera up on my glider, in addition to the stress of usually when I do want to set one up [...]
I recently submitted a video to a Zooppa.com contest for Universal Studios Hollywood who will be opening up a King Kong attraction this summer. They wanted a short film that showed the destruction in your town after King Kong came through (on his way to Universal Studios). To vote for this video go HERE. I called [...]
