An introductory film to some of the people behind Whitestone Motion Pictures ('The Candy Shop', 'Heartless: The Story of the Tin Man'). Shot entirely in high speed with the Phantom, which is a pretty awesome camera! Directed by Brandon McCormick. Enjoy!

Hey Guys, I wanted to share a link to a film that I had the honor and privilege to be a part of as a grip and an intern. It is called Heartless: The Story of the Tin Man and it was produced by a film company based in Atlanta, GA called Whitestone Motion Pictures. It is the origin of the Tin...

More info coming soon!

Hey guys. Don't know if anybody already posted this but it's a video mural called Civilization. It's a depiction of the elevator ride from hell to heaven. It's a permanent installation at the Standard Hotel in New York. It uses over 500 clips from famous movies. It is AMAZING!! Check it...

Afterimage is a heist-type crime film that I kind of had floating around in my head for a while. Crime dramas are one of my favorite genres so I figured I'd go ahead and make one. This film is the result of a cross-polination of a couple of different things that I love and it was a pleasure to...

Was looking at trailer/stills for Steven Soderbergh's new film and really liked some of the imagery. Now I know he shot it with a Red but I heard that it was shot with all natural lighting and no studio setups. That part I'm not sure about. There was some great light in some of these shots...

*sigh* I hate to sound like a complete newbie but here goes... I wasn't sure whether this should go in this section or the Lighting section but I was browsing some of the photography work on deviantart.com and found myself consistently blown away by the sheer beauty and artistry of some of...

Hey Guys (Gals), I was wondering if anybody could give me any advice on how to add social commentary to a script without making it obnoxious or heavy-handed. I'm not talking about trying to make people switch political parties or anything, just observations about society and life within the...

Sorry if this has been mentioned before guys but after doing shorts where I was director, DP, editor, producer, etc., I want to start focusing on just directing and honing my skills because I know that spreading oneself too thin dilutes the overall quality of the finished project. So I want to...

Hey guys. Just wondering which directors out there stick to doing only one genre of film, whether the choice is conscious or not. If so, what is it and why? I find myself gravitating towards crime drama films often but I don't want to limit myself. I know it's worked for some directors (i.e...
