New Balance

Sat, 30 May 2009 15:56:00 -0700

Just finished 10 day shoot as DP in Skowhegan, Maine for New Balance project that’s Digital Kitchen. This was definitely one of my favorite projects to date, a real loose shooting style yet with lots of intention. The people in the town generally think highly of New Balance as they employ a lot of people and give back to the community generously. Long Long shoot days...

True Blood Airs

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 21:06:00 -0700

True Blood main title sequence airs on HBO. The creative team at digital kitchen rallied to produce a stirring composition from an eclectic blend of visual sources that I think will provide a shot in the arm for this new program based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse book series by Charlaine Harris. I was brought on to shoot much of the title sequence with our trusty Rex 5 bolex, a modified shutterless Bolex, and our Minolta XL-401 Super 8 Camera. Stocks included 7201 and 7218 for both Super 8 and16m. The show is produced for HBO and Alan Ball of Six Feet Under fame.

Back to do some pick-ups with Digital Kitchen

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:31:00 -0700

Back to do some pick-ups with Digital Kitchen for the True Blood opening title sequence. They rented out the Little Red Hen Bar in Seattle, this great family owned bar that’s been around for almost 100 years. They let us have the run of the place for most of a day. We staged a number of set ups to mimic some honky-tonk bar in Louisiana where it was late at night and drinks had been flowing all night. DK hired some dancers to move provocatively.

DP for Digital Kitchen shoot again.

DP for Digital Kitchen shoot again. This time, DK rented the soundstage at Seattle Grip and Light and shot two bumpers for the 2008 Seattle International Film Festival. Super talented crew.

Headed down to Louisiana to DP a shoot with Digital Kitchen for parts of the opening title sequence for HBO’s new series “True Blood”.

Headed down to Louisiana to DP a shoot with Digital Kitchen for parts of the opening title sequence for HBO’s new series True Blood. Rented an RV and put over 1000 miles in four days but gathered some kick ass material. Tried cracklin and boudin for the first time and sampled other local flavor too. DK was trying to capture a dirty south vibe. We had some great locations scouted in advance including the most amazing waterway of swamp trees I’ve ever seen. Look for True Blood to air the next couple of months.
