Back to the basics, I literary had no responsibility on this set, haha so it was more fun. I was just there to hang out and commentate between cuts. It was nice to get back to just taking pictures some times, I felt like I have been losing a bit of my drive as I hardly have time for projects these days. Anyway, these movies seem to be getting better, and with these guys there are always costumes, niicce. So, this show will be called ‘Lost Hero” and it being made by my friend Ryan Byrne. (the guy in the cupid wings from the previous post) It’s still in editing, although I imagine there should be a cut of it online soon. Enjoy

Alright so, I tried out my cheap ebay speedlights and triggers for the first time. The good news is the $35 yn460 light seemed to work as well as a $300 dollar SB-600 for my uses, the bad news is I failed to get the corresponding light stands so I fumbled quite a bit trying to wield my old d70 in one hand and an umbrella with a light tapped to it in the other. I came out with some good shots but, I lacked the variety I wanted with that light setup. Anyhow, being a free practice shoot n’ all I had no trouble coaxing Anna into doing a re-shoot, where I left the lights in the trunk and just got back to good ol’ point shoot. Let me know what you think. jesse

Ok, so we shot this way back in August and to be perfectly honest I’m not the most proud person…. I hate pretty much everything “creative” I do… at least the first time around. We shot it last summer, I was editing in the begining in the fall and it’s been on “the interwebs” for about 4 months or so. This was my first attempt at cinematography and editing, it’s not really finished, but this is probably how it will remain for the next while. Keep it real, stay classy, keep your stick on the ice? It’s called ‘Edgars Epilogue’

Went to this small ghost town in southern Alberta for a movie shoot. Was just another production assistent with more free time than I could understand so I spent some time running around this old place and snapped a few shots. Unfortunately I also mananged to roll a car and cheat death on the way back. Somehow nearly all of my camera gear and laptop survide the crash, the car did not. I had a few minor scratches and some stiffness so I had the pleasure of learning how expensive it is to tow a car to the wreckers…. augh.

These Pictures were taken over the summer of 2008 for an independent feature called ‘Movie Brats’. I was volunteering as a production assistent and had access to a cheap Casio point-and-shoot as well as a Nikon D200 with a few lenses that I just happened to tote around with me. Got a lot of practice here.
