Snowmakers 1

Dane Henry and myself just finished shooting the first episode of “The Snowmakers” for Heavenly Mountain Resort. What a treat to be up on the mountain at night, a unique experience. After a 25-minute truck ride up, the night of shooting began at Adventure Peak at the top of the gondola. This a cold spot on the mountain, and usually a starting point for the swing shift. Cold and wet night of shooting, the camera and me are still drying out. Captured on two Panasonic Hvx 200’s.
Here is Dane’s amazing edit.

Fire and Lights

I headed down to my old stomping grounds at Ski Run Marina for a little sunset shoot. When I arrived at the marina, I headed down towards the beach, nothing down there really stuck my fancy. Discouraged I headed back to my truck, as I looked up saw the fire pit. Having spent many summer nights by it, I thought I would do it a little justice. Pulled out my tripod, flipped my camera to 60p and got creative. I conformed all the footage from 60fps to 30fps in cinema tools. Nice effect, happy with the out come.

7 Days with the 7D

Just got the 7D, and I can’t put the camera down, simply amazing design. I wanted to document my first week with the camera, so I hit up all my favorite spots here on the South Shore of Tahoe. Thanks to my roommate for putting up with me and a new camera, some moments she thought she was on the set of real world. Thanks Dawn. This video is a test with the camera playing with different setting, hand held, tripod, etc. This was all shot with the kit lens 28-128mm, which so far has worked well, even though I could use a little more on both ends of the scale.

Footage featured in Ski Film

I was so excited to find out that some of my shots from last ski season of Ty Dayberry are in the new Powder Whore telemark ski film. As I sat watching the premiere of “Flake” at Moe’s Place, I almost jumped out of my seat as mine and Dane’s footage lit up the screen. Over all it is such an honor to be a small part of their movie, these guys are legends in the Telemark film industry. I got to talk to one of the filmmakers after the movie, he was jazzed we supplied him with some footage. Amazing night.

Find out more about the movie Below.

Divine 9 TV Spot

I joined Dane Henry from www.deeprootsmedia.com to shot a 30 sec TV commercial and a 60 sec web video for the Divine 9. I worked as assistant camera and dolly grip for this project. The Divine 9 is made up of a group of 9 golf courses in the Carson Valley. We spent three hot days filming each of the different golf courses and a couple of interior shots at selected restaurants. Great learning experience working with Dane, he is very creative and equally talented. Here is Dane’s edit which aired in the Northern California and Northern Nevada TV Markets.

Bio Video

Thanks to the help of Dane Henry and Fred Wymore I put together this Bio video about myself. Pretty self explanatory, how I got started with video, where I studied film, and what I’m doing now.
