Shoutout: “Dreamt of August” by alden
After getting back from Brazil, I went and watched all the Hollywood summer blockbusters that I missed. While there were some that I really enjoyed, my eyes were screaming out for a break from the sometimes tedious “Hollywood look.” “Dreamt of August” by alden was just the kind of visual serendipitous cacophony that I needed!

Filming a House Burning Down
In the middle of a music video shoot, we literally had to rush to the rescue, as a house was burning down next to where we were shooting. Special Thanks: Mars Webster, co-producer, who first spotted the house burning down, and rushed off to help. Xan Baker (www.xanbaker.com) who helped film, and who also added […]
New footage: Power Lines Exploding in Brazil

They live on islands in the river Guaíba next to Porto Alegre. The main island is called Ilha dos Marinheiros (“The Isle of Sailors”). We filmed there Thursday, and while filming […]

Most of them live on islands in the Rio Guaíba, next to Porto Alegre, where they […]

The subject of the documentary is something very peculiar which only exists, to my knowledge, in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state […]

For a while now, I’ve been wanting to do something to help the Japan relief effort. The Red Cross definitely needs all the help it can get. The tsunami in Japan was one of the worst natural disasters ever, and it will take quite a while to get Japan back on its feet. Please help […]
5D Mark 3 …. new features? Philip Bloom speaks
Among the many cool opportunities I had this week at NAB 2011 (btw, if you don’t know what NAB is, it is the largest convention of video professionals in the world), was a chance to meet the one and only Philip Bloom (basically we DSLR filmmakers worship the ground he walks on, see my previous […]
Havaianas Soul Collection at Huntington Beach [Canon 5D, L Glass & Tascam DR-100]
I did this promotional video for Havaianas USA, at the only Havaianas store in America, in Huntington Beach, CA. They just launched their new closed-toe collection, called the “Soul Collection.” I filmed it on a 5D Mark II, with a 24-105 f/4L IS lens. This lens turned out to be perfect for shooting in the […]
