“The 5 C’s of Cinematography”

Still in the first chapter and this book has completely turned my world around, what IS a POV shot anyways?! As far as my school goes, we were all taught that a POV shot is from the actual ‘point of view’ of a player within the scene. For example, If we were having Person A and […]

Not getting your full ‘angle of view’?

So recently with the new purchase of my Canon EOS 40D, I knew I would want to do some wide landscape compositions and figured the wide end of the stock lense (28mm) would hold true to it’s measurement…until I started shooting. I wasn’t able to get the amount of horizontal view I wanted! A few weeks later […]

My happy 31st consisted of class, basketball, and a visit from the Joker. A buddy of mine decided to dress up as The Dark Knight’s Joker yesterday and never break character. Let me know what you think!

It’s a Wrap!

Today was the third and final day of the UCF production I shot, “The Art of Box Pleats”. We entered the doors of Silver Lining Studios three days ago, and have hopefully now come out with some sufficient footage for the project. I had a great time going through the process of pre-production, and creating some […]

“The Art of Box Pleats”

The weekends here, so back to work! Today was full of talent, lights and chaos starting the first days of the UCF production I’m shooting titled, “The Art of Box Pleats”.  The story follows the life of a photographer who longs to express his passion for creative portraits with obscure wardrobe, in times of financial trials.  I will keep you […]

UTA

Arrived in Mansfield early last Saturday, just in time to enjoy a chili cook-off, Sunday morning church and go to some of April’s classes at the University of Texas in Arlington(www.uta.edu) . It’s quite a contrast from the trade school i’ve become so use to, for the main reason that people aren’t in classes they really […]
