These are all portfolio pieces I've made this year, one of my friends told me I should post here so here I am, I hope you enjoy them. I'm aware of problems with each piece but I'd still like to hear anyone's opinion. It's always interesting to hear each person's perspective and wording.

Music video: Brightly Wound
Music by Eisley

I shot this over a weekend in Oak Creek Canyon, AZ. All the performers are non-actor friends, it shows, hopefully I'll never have to resort to that again.

It was shot on a 200 with a Letus adapter, a Canon 50mm lens and a jerry rigged sedicam.

Short Narrative: Future
run time 3:11

Shortest pre-production (two weeks) and production (3 hours!) I've done yet, alas because it was a school assignment. Wish I had more time to rehearse, shoot more coverage, etc. Although on such tight time restraints I'm pleased with the result. Shot in front of a perfoming arts center.

Again shot on a 200 with a letus adapter and a few canon lenses.


Music Video: Enjoy
Music by Bjork

The shots with the man and the stuff getting smashed was shot out in the middle of the desert and all the shots of the girl were shot on a sound stage. I made my small crew wear plastic goggles and paper face masks for saftey, I'm glad I did because by the end of the night each one of us had some shard of something fly into our face as high speed. No one was injured. I had some plexi-glass clamped in front of the camera.

Shot on a 200 with no adapter.

It looks like I won't direct/finish another film till almost six months from now, but the next one is going to be special. 16mm or RED, professional DP, more money, etc. Looking forward to it.

Hope you enjoy.
Thanks for watching!

no one, really? okay. Not fishing for compliments, just surprised that my videos dropped off the bottom of the page after 150 views without anyone having anything to say.
 
IMPRESSIVE! I really like "Brightly wound" music video. Well shot, goes well with the narrative, very flowy. I was wondering which app did you use to cc it?

P.S It wouldn't let me watch your short film and the attachment is extremely enticing.

This is exactly how I felt when I posted my stuff. No views and I'm suppose to be the Brightest student at my school for my work. LOL

Hmm, must be an old link from before I re-uploaded the video. This should work.

Also, for the Eisley video I did all the color correcting in AVID which I also edited in. Honestly I played around with the color for a long time but in the end it's not very far off at all from the raw footage. Location, location, location.
