Going to make an effort to post cool work I do because last year I accidentally didn’t post anything to my grid for the whole year so now my Instagram has a lot of catching up to do. This was a cool project I did the lighting for that recently came out. It’s for a series called Mix with the Masters. Definitely check it out if you’re one of my many music friends. My favorite part of this shoot was Charlie serenading us on piano while we filmed b roll

Should have posted this when I first left Korea but had to work really hard in Bali as you all saw. Bali post coming in a couple days when I get back to LA. Made way more friends in Korea than expected. Sorry this post is in the middle of the night for most of you. This post is for my friends in this timezone

I unfortunately just sold this beautiful lens Minolta 7.5mm fish eye lens. It will be missed from my collection of vintage lenses. I meant to post these stills when the movie came out but here are some BTS Portraits I took on set with it

Meant to post about this a couple months ago when it came out but here is a clip from a music video I directed with @kasey.hs for @michaelbrunermusic song Sanity’s Sake This video was created back in 2022 but had delayed release. The video had a unique but simple approach of mounting a projector to the camera creating a delayed feedback loop. Another effect we experimented with was running the video as an image sequence into an early image ai tool. At the time this was before any major video ai tools were available. We had to make the video as small as possible and it would still take all night to process for a few second long clip. Thank you @namestage6 for handling all of this.
