Shooting in the street. Indian Road – Short Film Over the summer, I had the lucky opportunity to collaborate with fellow friend and director Corey Sherman, who I’ve worked with a few times in the past.

The-Dark-Knight-Screencaps-the-dark-knight-5263687-1232-720 The Nolan Format We’re all familiar with the huge scale of director Christopher Nolan’s work (The Dark Knight, Inception and more)… The cinematic style that Mr. Nolan is so well known for is not achieved by just capturing striking imagery – but by capturing it on a larger format than is typically used. Several sequences in The Dark Knight were shot on 70mm… Continue »

crane_preview Getting Ready to Cast | Product Reviews Coming Soon Last August marked the beginning of Monitor.

A few Saturdays ago we went out to Central Park in NYC and shot a short film in a couple of hours. It’s an experimental piece called “The Polaroid,” and we really got to test out some of the equipment we’ve been sent.

Shoot ‘em Up

Hey guys! Check out our short little Shoot ‘em Up! It was a heck of a lot of fun being able to run around with toy guns, and as pointless as this video is it taught us a lot about workflow, visual effects, and sound design. We shot with a Canon T2i with a Beachtek adapter, Rode NTG-2 microphone, and… Continue »

Sparkling Object By D.B. Gilles

I’ve written about D.B. Gilles (personal friend, mentor, teacher, and scriptwriter) before; talking about his blog which helps screenwriters who have lost faith in their story to regain some form of motivation, and above all, a jump start to keep their script rolling. However, I have yet to talk about his screenwriting work. Sparkling Object, written by D.B. Gilles which… Continue »

More Location Stuff!

Went back to the location yesterday to survey light and get a better sense of the space we’re working with. Absolutely love the location – though we got completely spooked when we heard someone(who later turned out to be the mailman) open the screen door to the front of the house while no one was there. While we were on… Continue »
