American Dream

i just finished this music video for Dominic Balli’s new Album.

HerStory

working on a new series with Woonderfully Made, called HerStory.
Tease tease.

 

Josh Newton + Colbie Callait

Take a little bit of the amazing Josh Newton Photography, and the music of Colbie Callait, and a little bit of me to film it, and you get this:

the naus family

Our dear friends are moving to australia and they recorded this amazing song to raise money!
Buy the song! It’s really good!

Woohoo! Our short film is premiering in L.A. this April 2nd. That’s fun.

This year we decided to take part in the 168 film festival. So fun. You should do it. I can’t wait to do it again next year.

I haven’t blogged in ages!

It’s come to my attention that my blog needs some love.

It’s been raining here lately. So… video in honor of the rain!

 

We’ve been in SouthEast Asia getting some awesome footage. i can’t wait till the edit is done so i can post it!
We are also in the middle of a lot of projects….. so one of these days I’ll just have tons of new vids to post all at once!
(look forward to that day)

Oooh, and we just finished a short film for a festival. Premiers  in L.A. at the end of this month!

Motion tracking test

Trying out Mocha, motion tracking software.
And I’m in love with power lines

My Boots

Soooo…..

I was given the opportunity to create a lyric video for Lights and her new single My Boots

Shot and edited in three days. So if it feels a bit rushed – it was.

Renew

I made this video for a class offered at my church.

Renew – a course on global issues. Social justice type stuff.

I was excited to over use optical flares by videocopilot.net
I motioned tracked the subjects faces to stick the flares in the shots.

wedding day goodness

I was honored to shoot along side Josh Newton at the wedding of Thomas and Brittney here in Santa Barbara.
Super cute couple and super fun wedding.

My wife called this the kissing video because it’s packed with kisses – as it should be.

Corporate-type videos?

I think I’ve had some of the most fun I’ve had making videos working with Sean Naus on this Toyota video.
Not the most exciting video…..  at all. But it’s all who you’re working with.

The concept, you drop your car off at Toyota to be serviced, and they drive you to work. While you ride, you have NO CHOICE but to watch this video.
Sneaky.

Jason Reeves – Helium Hearts

Well, I can finally post this up on my blog now that it’s released.
The new J Reeves Helium Hearts Vid.

Pretty simple concept. But we had fun running around L.A. shooting it.

popeater.com describes it best.
“The video for ‘Helium Hearts’ is as lighthearted as the song. It opens with Reeves greeting his girlfriend with a bundle of heart-shaped balloons, and the pair then wanders all over Los Angeles distributing them to strangers. The lyrics to ‘Helium Hearts’ are also reflected in the video, with the young lovers wanting to share their joy with as many people as possible.”

And Jason has the most amazing quote!

“This song was stumbled upon like almost all of my songs, like a secret golden pond found just over a hidden hill when I’m dying of thirst in an endless desert, and its light was caught and reflected from the pure and joyous exuberant bliss of real life potential love,” Reeves tells PopEater. “I never set out to write songs like this — they come like rare miracles through my brightest emotions. This is a song about wildfire love, written at its brink. And the video is intended to capture that feeling, even if only in the form of a glimmer.”

got some lights

Finally got some lighting for myself.

I put together this tiny wittle vid with my cutie wife in our living room

and here’s a screenshot for a Toyota vid I’m working on (using the lights of course)

Jason Reeves – the new Lovesick album

My friend Jason Reeves is releasing a new album this month!
And I’m in the middle of making his new music video for his yet to be released single – Helium Hearts.
Can’t wait for it to be released so I can post these new vids.
Check out his new site.

Toyota Vids

Working with a friend of mine on some little viral vids for Toyota.
This one features my wife and baby. Nice.

Beardness

I can nerver resist some good beard.

Portland Wedding

Got to shot a wedding along with the crazy photographer, Josh Newton.

Theo and Jessie

I put this video together a while back. I even posted some screenshots from it earlier. But I never put the actual edit on the bloggy blog.
So here it is. Or go to it’s page.
