My dear friend Jacobi has got quite the talent.  Check out this video he shot & edited for my birthday.  I hope it encourages you like it did me.

When you have few words surrounded by lots of silence, your mind will have a tendency to wander about.  The creators of this film lead you about on a leash so that you “get it.”

Here’s another beautiful piece of work by Sean Dunne.  I hope you enjoy it.

I like how the old man gets the one-up on his son.  This is beautiful.  The CG bird could’ve been a bit better, but all-in-all, this is very nice.

Here’s a beautiful short film by Sean Dunne.  It’s called “The Archive”.  Paul Mawhinney is a man who’s devoted his entire life to music.  In fact, he has the largest record collection in the world, estimated to be worth over $50 million.

The coloring is superb and I love the minimalistic camera shots.  Most of them are steady, but there are some great pans and glides too.

I wish I had $3 million to buy The Archive.

Not only is the storyline compelling, but the cinematography looks stellar!

He edited this video but I handled the camera on all the outdoor shots – the “director of photography”, if you will.  Enjoy.

It’s directed by Peter Chung who describes the video with “Every day: so many opportunities to connect… What if you took just one?”
