These videos describe my CREATIVE process…
In this breakdown, I discuss my experience working on a project for PBS/ NOVA. This was a fun project that took me to some remote parts of Texas. I lay out the gear I used, how I shot some of the sequences, and the overall experience.
In this breakdown, I discuss how to use existing lighting to film your b-roll on a documentary. So often in documentary and corporate work, we are limited by the light available to us to use. I share two examples of how I made the most of the light I had to work with.
In this breakdown, I discuss the difference between filming an interview with a small crew, vs. an interview with a large crew.
In this breakdown, I cover a vignette I filmed for a tourism video at a coffee shop. One of the cooler parts of this setup is how we got the steam in the coffee mug to work.
In this breakdown, I cover a couple of interview setups and two angles from a b-roll sequence. This project was typical of what I film a lot of - one man band style where I have to find setups for interviews and build sequences for b-roll.
In this breakdown, I discuss lucky shots while filming for various projects. As much as you plan to get a great shot, sometimes, you just happen to be at the right place at the right time. It's important to learn how to see the world and your environment to take adantage of these moments when they happen.
n this breakdown, I cover several interview setups I created for an award winning documentary called "Born in Denver"
In this video, I share some insights on the job and how we filmed all the needed elements in one day.
In this video I explain the background of the project, how I filmed the aerials, and what gear I used, and share my experience filming these epic scenes for them.
In this video, I'm sharing my expert tips and insights I used to capture the wild action and drama of a rodeo event. From choosing camera angles, using available light, to discussing slow-motion footage, I'll talk about what worked - and didn't - to create a compelling rodeo video.
