Sal + Alissa // Teaser
Sal & Alissa got married. They wanted me to show up with a video camera. Their magic happened, and now it’s my turn.
The edit is always the hardest part of the whole project… there’s so much footage to review and stack into my brain, labeling this, cutting that.
It takes a while to get a project [...]

Showcase: “What is That”
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.

Showcase: The Archive
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 [...]

“A Girl and Her Garden” // Video Portrait
In a “Video Portrait” I capture the essence of who someone is and set it to music that would be in that person’s life soundtrack.In this case I have the lovely Laura: she’s a native Texan, loves records, country, growing things, and has a knack for nostalgia. This film tells the story of who she [...]
Showcase: Sofia’s People
This was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II using a single prime lens (Zeiss 50mm f1.4). There’s no lighting, no grading, and it’s all hand-held. It shows you the importance of composition in shooting over fancy zooms and dolly moves. I love it… I would marry it.

Showcase: A Thousand Words
This is one of the most stunning pieces that I’ve seen on the internet.
It’s directed by Peter Chung who describes the video with “Every day: so many opportunities to connect… What if you took just one?”
