Shot the TCU stadium implosion in 60p. After watchin the footage I couldn't help but set it to this music...

12766327 Just some first shots with my new 7D around my house in Colorado. Figured I should get some pretty footage around it before I move down to Texas for school. If you can't tell, I'm a 1st AC by nature - hence my tendency to get a little trigger happy on the focus ring haha. Music is...

This is a film I did for my senior CAPSTONE. The idea is to create something artistic that represents how I've lived and grown throughout the 4 years at my high school. It's a requirement to graduate... and I passed with flying colors! http://samryanfilms.com/2008/senior-capstone-project/

yo So I have about 18 full tapes with footage from this years wrestling season that I have to make a highlight film out of (hey i'm gettin payed for it).. Anyways, I want to capture the tapes all the way through with no breaks... I KNOW THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD DO, but it's giving me a dumb...

So Apple released a new wireless Airport Extreme base station today that features 500GB or 1TB storage. The main purpose of the thing is to use for backup with their "Time Machine" app. You can backup your computer wirelessly. (It's also a fully functioning LAN base station/router) The thing is...

I showed this video to our football team the day before our first game, then to the entire school at a pep rally the next week. It's just a preview of what this season should be like. Filmed entirely on DVX100a, dolly shots and glidecam. Turned out pretty exciting. http://limit.iird.us/ --...

Hey all. So I'm searching for the right wireless mic and transmitter/reciever combo. After a long time searching on B&H and such, I got a little inundated. (Yes, I searched the forums but couldn't find good info) I am looking at the Sennheisser G2 series receivers or (I haven't heard any...

A friend and I needed something to do so we went downtown and grabbed some cool shots, came up with a pretty cool movie. Check it out - http://limit.iird.us Here's some screen shots. Filmed on a DVX100a, edited/CC in Final Cut Express. Check the actual movie

Here are some stills from a few of my highlight videos/previews for this season. I just wish we weren't 0-6 so I could make some less-depressing videos... All are from my 100a, no color correction.

Being the only real film maker in my entire school, some friends came to me with ideas for "Real Men of Regis". (Regis is my high school's name) This is the finished product of one of our ideas, scripted, filmed, and edited today. "Mr. 6"8' Guy Who's Terrible at Basketball" - filmed...

It's a yes or no question, but let me give you some specifics. I'm in desperate need of an affordable crane. My productions are lacking a certain "mmph" that I think a crane would give me. (I've done my research, and the Kessler is for me.) Here's the thing - The biggest/strongest tripod I...

Just saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2. The reel broke and destroyed the film with no more than 7 minutes left. I missed all of the end. (PM me with the ending if you want.) This is the second time this has happened to me. What exactly happens when the picture skips and then the film looks...

I want to get the 8' Kessler Crane. However I feel sometimes I will need more length than the 5.5 feet from the camera to the tripod. The accessories page on Kessler's website does not explain what they do very well... do I want the short tip or the long tip?

I'm thinking of hitting up the Vail Film Festival this weekend. Looks like a sweet place to get some connections: http://www.vailfilmfestival.org/ Even more than the films being screened and what not, I'm more interested in the Vail Filmmaker Project, a series of workshops and panels on...
