(monday, Nov. 19) - Youth Post
I got the footage back for Youth, and it
looks fantastic. I couldn't be more pleased. Everybody
performed wonderfully, cast and crew... I've never before
looked forward to editing this much! I'll have a rough cut
done by tomorrow (long hours), but the finished product won't
be ready until a month from now. I'll keep everybody alerted
to progress as key steps are made.

(I'm currently in the process of
catching up these updates to the present day... I've done
alot since July! Someday, this gap will fill in!)
.: (sunday, Jul. 1) - Acting Cupid,
Day 3-4
First of the two-day weekends... I really
got to flex my lighting muscles this shoot. Got to light a
bar: Red
Maple. I was pretty happy about it with a couple of exceptions.
Almost lit our lead actor on fire, that's a story he's going
to tell for a long time. He was a good sport about it, probably
because I was closer to the fire than he was. Also lit a beautiful
morning bedroom scene. Drury used the Redrock adapter on his
DVX rig for this scene, and the resulting images were spectacular.
.: (sunday, jun. 24) - Acting Cupid,
Day 2
Had car trouble today and missed the first
setup. The rest of the day was exteriors, so not much to do
there but try to augment the image with a bounceboard.
.: (sunday, jun. 17) - Acting Cupid,
Day 1
Had my first day on set of Acting Cupid today.
We shot an exterior on Federal Hill and some interiors that
I got to have a little fun with. One shot was a dolly-out,
which presented problems I've not had to address before. Dru
was pleased with the result, and the raw footage is now up
on his website.
.: (thursday, jun. 6) - Acting Cupid
Got a message from one of my professors,
Cary Anderson, about a short he wrote that's nearing production.
Acting Cupid is a romantic comedy about a guy who
gets the power to make people fall in love with a snap of
his fingers. They still needed a gaffer, so I volunteered.
It'll be a 6-day shoot spread out over several weekends in
June and July.
.: (sunday, jun. 2) - LTYD Update
I just received a message from Perry Kroll
that the footage for Live 'Til You Die has been logged,
and it looks great.
.: (tuesday, apr. 26) - Back
I've learned more in the past four days than
I have in the past two years. This is how one gets the best
film education: by doing.
.: (wednesday, apr. 18) - Live 'Til
You Die
Tomorrow marks the start of production on
the NYU advanced project Live 'Til You Die, a film
that combines 1980s action parody with multiple levels of
self-reflexivity to get alot of laughs and provide a few thoughtful
comments on society. I'll be acting as the 2nd AC for the
whole production (which wraps april 23) and the 1st AC for
half of it. I'll let you know how it goes.
.: (sunday, feb. 11) - Sneak Peek
Planning/preproduction has begun for Darklands,
another Dreamchaser/Bullfrog collaboration. It is our most
ambitious undertaking to date. Today I'm uploading a few shots
from the conceptual
art as a preview for what will hopefully be much greater
things to come in the next two years.
