We’re excited to share some still frames from our upcoming short film "Self Tape"!
-- The film is a beautiful tale about resilience and turmoil, trauma and courage.
The entertainment industry will break you down if you let it.
There comes a time to decide how much you let it take from you. --
Shot on #redkomodo with #atlasorion anamorphic lenses.

When the sun stretches for the morning and yawns.

Empty morning flights in the cold have a certain special quality to them that not many people understand. The energy, excitement and beauty is mesmerizing. It reinvigorates you and refills your empty creative cup.

Banff 2018. Horses pull the carriages across the frozen lakes in the mountains of Calgary. The ground was frozen solid ice, and the air was burning my lungs. These horses pulled 30 ppl every 20 min through the snow storm. Their power and strength could be seen in their frozen breath, and their legs were covered in frozen hair. Majestic doesn’t even begin to describe these animals.

Slip into the matrix. VHS style. Some fun for a client video who wanted a retro feel. We shot the interviews on 4 cameras, one of them an old vhs camera. Our co-worker Nick 3d printed a dummy battery to allow it to be powered by V-mounts and a breakout box to an atomic shogun to record 4k SD footage. #clientwork #booklightco #studiowork #vfx #vhs #awesome #oldtechnology
Film set extras, 2021 - the client asked for something to make the video fun and exciting. Ask and you shall receive 😊

Ukiah sunrise, 2018 - the day before this the mountains of Ukiah were burning. Mendocino county was surrounded by flames. The hotel smelled of smoke and the roads were closed everywhere we went. Sunrise proved to be the only time this day that you could see the sky. We took it in and moved on. #booklightco #travelfilm #docu #archives
