Busy

Its been a busy month which is really nice. Haven't graduated yet (next Friday is the big day) and I've been fortunate enough to have a paid dp pretty much each week of the last month.

Shot two music videos. One for this rap/rock artist in Harlem Lamec. We did a lot of crazy stuff with the 7D. With its small size we were able to rig it to a monopod which we then set up to a bike to get a real cool performance shot. Also played around a lot with the Spike Lee person on dolly trick.

Other music video was for a latin r&b kind of artist. Had a crazy 16 hour day. Shot at this real sweet balcony on 56th, than central park with steady cam, and lastly to this location in BK. Really used the source 4s for a lot of the set ups. We were creating a kind of noir/romantic feel.

Finally shot a short horror film :). I have been wanting to work on a horror project for a long time now. It was a fun shoot. Used the T2i with zeiss ZF primes which produced a very nice image. My lighting package on this was nothing pretty much had a 650 Arri Kit, a shitty lowel chimera (which I never used) and a bunch of 150watt 212 bulbs. Nonetheless we had some cool setups and the makeup is pretty sick.
