Greetings all!
Been a while since I last posted. Moved out to LA last year and been grinding everyday to finally break into people's production circles. I wanted to share a short film that I was cinematographer on that was shot back in February of this year. It was shot in downtown LA and came out pretty awesome.

It was my first time shooting an action/fight sequence, and it came out awesome. We guerilla styled it over the course of 3 days at the Westin in downtown LA. I shot it using an HVX200A with a brevis35 adapter and nikon lenses. Our lighting consisted of a kino 2' 4bank, Arri 1k Chimera, 650, 300 and two 150's to mimic the recessed lighting and as an eye light. We also had some britek 650's that actually came in handy. Our camera moves were mostly handheld to give it that Bourne feel, but we did use a dolly and crane in a few shots.
Overall I'm very happy with the final product. I think I would have liked to have softened the light a little more in the bedroom, but of course hindsight is 20/20 and we were working on a limited budget and time.
Hope you all enjoy and I will gladly answer any questions you might have and appreciate all feedback! Also, if your in the LA area and are looking for a DP with a complete camera and light package...look no further.
