It’s cut and ready to see - here’s a link to the music video. I’ll also post it on my resume page in the coming days. Turned out very nice. I’ll likely still add a few more touches to the color correction. Enjoy.

Just finished a music video for the band Autumn Tragedy and their song, “Ignis Fatuus”. Shot in a warehouse space in Corona. The project was directed by Jonathan Bowen with whom I also shot the music video for the band Winded earlier this year.
The following are frame-grabs from the shoot. I’ve been playing with some looks, so while they’ve been affected, it isn’t the final look of the project. A million thanks to the crew for all their help today! Can’t wait till this project is edited and we can go to grading. It’s gonna look good!!
Who says the production community isn’t making an effort to go green.

Found this image online and I had to share. While I didn’t shoot it, I wish I had.

It was a good night for a screening.
“Donna on Demand” screened tonight as part of the Temecula Valley International Film and Music Festival. We, unfortunately, had to screen from a DVD via a less than optimal video projector so the image was soft from the blowup, a bit too much contrast, somewhat washed out and was distorted a bit. That said, it looked better than expected and none of the shots look egregiously out of whack so it’s likely no one in the audience was the wiser.
Like every screening with a new audience, it was great to here them respond to the film. At the end, Corbin was pummeled by questions from the audience.
Can’t wait for what’s next.
2008 Sept 7:
Donna on Demand” will be screening at the Temecula Valley International Film & Music Festival. (That’s a mouthful!?) The festival runs from 17 - 21 September.
Our screening will be on Saturday the 20th.
Can’t wait to see it on the big screen with the cast, crew and an audience that knows little about the film.
“Donna” is a movie I shot last year. It was directed by Corbin Bernsen, who is also the lead actor, and also stars Adrienne Frantz, Susan Ruttan, Jeanne Cooper and Dan Lauria.
Done and Fun.
The short film I shot with director Clay Delauney is finished and soon will be off to the folks at Sundance for their consideration. Visit the demo reel page of my site and select watch | NARRATIVE REEL clips.
Both “The 20 Second Rule” and “TomThumb” have been recently uploaded and revised. We still have a few minor tweaks to “The 20 Second Rule” but watch it now and enjoy where it is.
Like I said, this project and “TomThumb” are now on there way to the Sundance Film Festival. Wish us luck.
One last thing, watch the credits at least until the section about “No animals were harmed…” near the end!

At long last, it is finished. “TomThumb” - a short film I shot for director Clay Delauney - finished up sound a couple of days ago in anticipation for submission to Sundance. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
The project can be found on my narrative demo reel page. Just click on the thumbnail image that looks like our boy in this frame-grab.
Otherwise, here’s a direct link to the project: CLICK HERE

Isn’t comedy funny!? Or I hope it is.
Anywho, the last day of shooting the short film of “Bruce Lance” (the title is still a work in progress) is done and now let the editing begin!
We got more funny stuff and the anticipation is building to see the final project finished. Here are some frame-grabs to hold us all over in the meantime. I’ll try to get some more in the coming days.
These shots are from Magicopolis in Santa Monica where we shot some interviews and these “performances” on stage.
Above, “Bruce Lance” (Sorin Bowie) and his beautiful “assistant” (Regan Alvord).
I love this program. VelaClock for the iPhone just came out with a update that now includes sunrise, sunset and twilight times as well as the azimuth data of where the sun and moon will rise and set. It’s a great addition since it’s one of the most frequently asked questions on set. You can only get data for the current date, but their iTunes product pages states that soon they’ll be offering the ability to choose a date in the future. That’ll be a welcomed addition. The only thing that would make this program just about perfect is data for where the sun or moon will be in the sky at any time of the day as well as data about the length of the shadows. That would be very welcomed indeed. If you’ve got an iPhone it’s a great program at a very reasonable price.
