I'm a little late but just over week ago I was finishing my 3rd feature this year as a Key Grip and my 4th feature overall.
This has been an incredible experience and such a pleasure to be a part of. Connecting with everyone and getting to do what I love again for a whole month. It truly has been my favorite feature so far and im hoping for many more like it
From production to PA's and everyone inbetween meeting so many new people and working again with great friends I've learned more to appreciate them all and the work they do.
Lighting Breakdown for Gel - Mirage Music Video /watch?v=o8-HJRFcRZ4
Had the pleasure to light this music video and wanted to share some lighting breakdowns. The request was for a gritty, high contrast look that matched the band’s vibe. For this main setup we had an @aputure 300x with the Fresnel 2X rigged onto the overhead grid blasting at the cyc wall to backlight the band. The light was at 3200K and I believe we added 1/2 CTS to push it further towards yellow. On either side of the cyc on the ground we had 2 x Amaran 200X with the fresnel as well just catching the 2 band members on either side and extending the work that our 300x was doing on the wall.
For the lead singer, we had a 600C with the F10 Fresnel boomed overhead on a 12’ menace arm with a piece of duvy on the ground to cut the up-bounce. This spilled over to the guitarist beside her but we also flew in a 2x4 silver surfer right beside camera on closeups of this guitarist.
We also did a clean white version of this setup by switching all color temps over to 5600K and on singles, we would use the 600C to give some extra shape to the subject.
Overall such a fun project. Huge thanks to @ericrichter13 for his crazy vision. @10prl_productions for putting together the project at their studio and my Key Grip @thatgripguyoverthere for his stellar work
Cars cars cars, this weekend was a full one. New trunk pan for the z28, motor pulled out of my brothers fox body and the engine dropped off at a mechanic we know who specializes in DeLoreans
I am the future. I am the future of this great film industry. Look, I have my own agenda. Harvard, out. School of Visual Arts in. I'm gonna get a 3.6 in Film. I love you guys, don't get me wrong. It's all about this. But for the first time in my life, I'm 22 and I can say, Congratulations to everyone at SVA. #svagraduation
And I have been thinking about letting my hair grow
I have been thinking about cutting it short
I have been thinking about dying it yellow
But I don't think I have the bone structure or wardrobe to support
That type of look

Last night I just played my first ever live performance with @thescreamingeyeballs . It was a new experience for me and it was something i couldn't have been comfortable with until i got up and just did it. It was a great experience and i hope more goes on from here
