Obituary.

I should have written this well over a year ago when this blog ran it's course, while working on my current blog, "Willow & Fred" I noticed that this blog was still getting a fair amount of traffic. I just thought I should write a note to say that although I'm not contributing to this project any more. I am honored that people find the content interestring and valuable. I will leave it here as long as people keep looking.

When I decided to do this project as a personal challenge of 30 straight days of motion picture shooting in turned into so much more. I learned tonnes, made some wonderful new friends and also gained a surprising amount of new work in the following months. Thank you for reading, watching and inspiring me.

Back from Plaster Rock & Five interviews.

Back from Plaster Rock where we shot the World Pond Hockey Championship. Pond hockey is pretty cool, it was a fun shoot. On Monday I worked on a job where we shot five interviews before noon. It was high pace but with a good group of people. Above are screen grabs. I've recently shot both an ISO induced noise test and a focus test. Someday soon I'll share results.

Plaster Rock

Was offered a last minute gig shooting in Plaster Rock, NB. It's really a RED shoot but I'm tagging along as a b-cam shooting pick ups. Back late Sunday night.

The firetruck did not work out this weekend. Apparently, if you take a firetruck out and don't use it to spray water, the pump freezes, which is not good. So I won't get to do that shot until it warms up a little bit.

In the meantime there are lots of cools shoots coming up. I'm hoping they all go through. I'm was asked by Picnicface to shoot one of their upcoming sketches which I can say with complete honesty is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Stuart Cresswell of Simple Films has expressed interest in having me shoot an upcoming short, and I've been speaking with John Davies about a wild Halicentric film he is hoping to pull off as well there are a few commercial days on the horizon.

I'll keep updating this blog as I shoot new content and I'll put up another compilation video of footage I shot over the last 30ish days I've not yet posted. Please check back from time to time to see the new stuff.

Just wrapped the Cousins video and brought all the gear back. My car is so happy to finally have more than a centimeter clearance between the back tires and the wheel wells. Now Angela and I are taking off to my parent's house for the weekend. I'm hoping my Dad can hook it up so I get to put the suction mount on a fire truck.... Then I'm going to take a few days off. Happy Friday everyone.
