12 Mar Most Likely to…





Spring is in the air and that means it’s almost time for movie camp! This April I will be shooting the micro budget feature film Most Likely. The story is a quirky romantic comedy about a group of childhood friend reuniting for a wedding in the White Mountains. I just found out from director Andrew Bemis that casting is complete and our location is locked! I’ll be posting a lot more about the film as we begin to prep. I can already tell this is going to be the type of filmmaking experience that thrives on creativity and collaboration.

01 Mar Zoom Zoom Zoom

A few posts ago I wrote about shooting for Yahoo Live Screen. I am super excited to share that I just did another show with them and had the opportunity to shoot with the sickest lens! The Fujinon 72X broadcast lens has the largest range and is physically the largest lens I’ve ever encountered. The focal length range is roughly 9.3-670 (manufacturer says 675). There is also a 2x extender and some solid accessories like the zoom and focus control. It’s designed for 2/3″ HDTV cameras like the Thompson Grass Valley LDK8000’s we used for the show.

20 Feb Burning

I’m so excited to announce that I will be working with incredibly talented director Rebecca Maddalo on her upcoming film Burning. The nonlinear structure of Burning is a unique filmmaking challenge. Rebecca and I recently met to discuss the look of the film and how to achieve it. She shared some lovely lighting and color references that I’m very excited to incorporate into the film with the help of gaffer Alec Roy.

We also talked about the use of camera movement, what motivates it, how to differentiate past vs. present, and getting inside a girl’s head during a life changing breakup. For more updates on Burning like the FB page

Look! The film’s fundraising campaign! There is a video for a video! Duuuude…

27 Jan London Grammar in Boston

It was an awesome privilege to shoot with London Grammar. We had an incredible crew working with Yahoo! and Live Nation. I was very impressed with the tour’s lighting designer. Keep an eye out for those retrofitted mole lights on stage!  There is a new live concert every night so check it out.
