Trench Run BTS plus
As promised, this is the BTS of the Trench Run short that I added yesterday. It was a large build from what I usually do, and things got a little out of hand once I started on production, a bit of scope creep. In my defense as I started building the "trench" it seemed a lot of effort for just one shot, which was the original intent, so I added some shots.

a use case project for my new moco rig
This is a use case project based on my SciFi Dallas photography project. I recently built a motion control camera rig, and this is one of the first projects I have done with it. Its a real world type “Systems Check “ to see what works and what breaks. Also working out the overall workflow of shooting with a setup like this. It’s a bit different but so far so good.

End of an era, and Yet the start of another, again!
It seems the economic impact of the Corona Pandemic finally made its presence known where I work. They had to layoff a fair portion of our workforce, after having kept us on through the pandemic, which they didn’t have to. They could have made the cuts a lot earlier, but they didn’t, which is considerate and impressive. While this kind of thing does happen regularly in our industry it is generally not due to a pandemic. Given this development, it is probably time to move on to other things. During the past few years I have had the opportunity to be the director of photography on a number of projects. In that time I have done several commercial and short film projects as well as music video projects. Many of them are listed here on my site under the Film / TV menu. I enjoyed working in this capacity on these projects, and given my past experiences and my penchant for photography I feel like this is the way to go. Below is my current work in progress director of photography reel.
Resume with more details is on this site as well.
More shorts and other work I have been involved in available on my Youtube channel.
I will still be available for on set VFX Supervision/Post Advisory services, as well as Lighting / Compositing and general CG gigs as well. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
