Here’s the 30 second edit of the Travis Manion Foundation 9/11 Heroes Run that I shot for JWT.  I am very pleased with the results and with everyone involved.  It was a large undertaking – ten locations with multiple actors to be completed in two days! -  and I couldn’t be happier with how smoothly everything went and how wonderful everyone was to work with; seriously, a great experience!

This is some footage from a short that I started shooting here in Atlanta. Brad Kaye edited this together for Puddles Pity Party to use on his website.

I was asked to be the director of photography by Keith Roberts a budding local director. We are shooting in several locations around Atlanta, and working with some real talented people. Big Mike Geier has a starring role, as does the ever talented Michael Laurino. Both gentleman are true professionals that are a pleasure to work with on set. We have shot for 3 days, so more to come in the near future.

This entire spot was shot on the Canon 5D MK II. I love this camera, it so great to be able to shoot full HD with a camera that is so familiar. The 5D MK II has become a real asset commercially because it allows me  to photograph for print, and seamlessly move to shooting digital film spots with the same equipment and same set up. The HDSLR is really revolutionizing the industry, and it is here to stay.
