We had a great time helping a high school filmmaking club make a great film for their semester project! Did you know that we make house calls? We can give our classes and production mentoring anywhere!

The laser swords really tie the room together. Another fun shot from a random driveway shoot at a party. Same setup as before with the fog and laser effect, but this time with cheap knockoff light sabers! The most really makes for a great glow effect. @pghfourthwall
I’ve been trying to talk @pghfourthwall into a motorcycle shoot for ages, and finally got him to go for it at a party last night!
Shot in my driveway, with background created by a simple laser rig in my garage and a fog machine. A @nanliteusa Pavotube off to the left added the red foreground lighting.

The dumbest video I've ever made. :-) I saw these graffiti when I was riding on the bike trail in PGH and I knew I had to do SOMETHING with them...#pittsburgh #graffiti #graffitiart #random @magichour.academy
Our students are turning everyday spaces into cinematic magic! ✨ From experimenting with lighting to using whatever’s around them and trying out new camera techniques, creativity is everywhere in their work. 🎬💡
