Cinematographe, A History [Video]

Aug 14, 2009 |

Found this short, condensed history of the creation of cinematography. For something so short it's pretty thorough. It has a lot of the famous first things ever shot, as well as the original cameras (or pretty good reproductions). Then it kind of becomes a joke when...

45365 – Final Day to Watch it for Free

Aug 6, 2009 | , ,

45365 is a documentary that was at Full Frame but I never got a chance to watch it. This week it's been on Hulu for free, which I'm very excited about (but today is the last day so watch it now). But for the film itself, I thought it was great. It's very Cinema...

BattleBots and South Beach

Aug 6, 2009 | ,

It's been a while and I'm sorry, but here's where my life in the real world is at: I'm officially done with Film School and FSU, got my diploma and everything. It was a weird last semester because I was editing and doing pick-ups for UnderCover and finishing You 2.0,...

Now Available on DVD

Jul 8, 2009 | ,

Last week I officially finished You 2.0, the doc that delayed graduation a semester, and self released it on DVD. It's a niche film, and I felt like it would work better just selling it myself as a DVD (it has a unique structure) rather than waste time trying to get...

Cinematography – Biblio Film School

Jun 23, 2009 | , ,

A while back I started a book recommendation series where I'd recommend what I thought were the best books in each area of filmmaking. Today we're continuing with cinematography books. Unlike the first category of screenwriting, I've read a lot of cinematography books...

A Figment of My Reality

Jun 13, 2009 |

This past week I've been in New York, catching up with a bunch of long, lost Film School peeps and making the rounds to the museums, hitting up the Model as Muse exhibit at the Met, Richard Avedon's Fashion Photography at ICP, and the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition for...

Desdra, Haiti

Jun 4, 2009 |

By far the place that interested me the most when I went to Haiti was Desdra. Desdra is a remote village right on the shore, surrounded by mountains and lush trees. The village was described as something you'd find in National Geographic, and it wasn't too far off. It...

Sunburned and Going Viral

May 24, 2009 | , ,

I'm in Sarasota right now, on what I believe is my first paying video job. It's operating a HI-POD, basically a 30 foot pole with a camera on top, for filming a soccer tournament. I've seen more soccer matches in that past two days than I've seen in my life, and...
