Jacob and Breanne

I tried some different things with editing here. I think I went jump cut crazy but it seems to work. I really liked working with Garrett Soong with Mood Events and Productions. He created a visual landscape that was very pleasant to film. The bride and groom loved the camera too.

Jason and Carrie, the Wedding

This was the first mini-film I co-shot with someone. The indelible Ben Brooksby brought his Canon 5D and shot some really crisp footage. I've been considering a Canon 5D, but when I have a couple thousand dollars laying around, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

Andrew & Victoria

This little number was shot in beautiful Midway. There are lots of fields and empty space but full of love. I think I went a little overboard with the sun flares, but oh well, it was fun. I also experimented with some Lav mics, I think I'll go ahead and buy them, the sound quality was pretty good.

Airplanes for Daddy

Father's Day is a great time for kids to play in front of a camera and call it a gift. This is a premiere of the fig rig I bought that is suppose to do smoother steady-cam like movements. I still need practice.

This shoot was so fun. Jason and Carrie are getting married July 17th. I experimented weaving different colors throughout the film for a warmer look. Tell me what you think.

This film was a fantastic idea for a father's day gift. The kids were so comfortable and relaxed in their own home. This has convinced me that house shoots may be a better idea than I thought.

Orchard Dream

The Christensens were kind enough to let me share their orchard dream. I had just built a make-shift dolly and track with wood and 12$ wheels from lowes. It turns out it works pretty well but it looks like driftwood. The weather and lighting was perfect, and filming a family enjoying nature, seeing and airplane, and blowing dandelions made it all the better.

Cupcakes

This was a 4 hour shoot. I think because cupcakes are more complicated than I thought. Indoor shoots are great in the morning.

White April

Any weather is good for a shoot. I did this shoot in one hour on April 1st with my brother and his family. No color correction necessary.
