Black Flag is NOT punk music

"Looking for Lenny"...Post Interview...Henry Rollins...things went well...

Just completed one of the final interviews for Elan Gale’s Documentary “Looking For Lenny.”

Using only available light for the majority of the interviews, I have to say we’ve been able to capture some nice looking talking heads…Though I may have spoken too soon, as I have yet to see a final cut…

Elan and Andrew have been working feverishly to complete a version in time for Sundance, and I’m sure a few tweaks will have to be made yet. None the less, the completion of my first feature length documentary as Cinematographer (along side Bradley Reed of course) is nearing!

Set work...Not to be taken lightly

DP Ken Glassing (right)...Recently promoted to First Unit Director of Photography.

Just finished the first week back on CSI: Miami…. More insert excitement this week, as I returned for another season to gaff the 2nd unit….where the real movie magic takes place!

Q-tips, flash grenades, and body-double torsos in business pastels.  It was good to be back.  It appears as though the state of our economy has even made it to Miami however… a mixed blessing for me.

While it means less work at the good-guy rate, it also means more time for project development:  Including a survival documentary, a spec commercial or two, along with more painting, furniture making, and lamp building of course.

Brainwashed Love

Pre-Light for party scene - "Brainwashed Love"

DP and motion control whiz… and friend from Zoic Studios, Helder K. Sun is shooting the feature film “Brainwashed Love,“ directed by Shawn Bannon.  The shoot has been relatively managable with his small crew, but for a couple of big party scenes Helder asked me to step in and gaff while he wore his many other hats…  Helder is shooting on the RED camera, and despite his small lighting package he has still been able to generate a high production look… (Especially on the big party scenes)…. I did such a good job.

"Nowhere Road" re-shoots with steadicam operator Morgan Jenkins

On set with Steadicam Op Morgan Jenkins for re-shoots.

Director Benjamin Dynice requested that I step up from Gaffer to DP the re-shoots for his short horror/thriller film NOWHERE ROAD… It was a successful night up in Canyon Country, CA.

Cinematographer Michael Roy was ill with the SWINE FLU or WEST NILE or something, so I stepped up to complete his great work.

We shot using the RED camera, and were able to get some scorching mid-day shots, along with some really great low-light night ACTION shots for the chase sequence…. “BEST shots of the movie” (so I’ve heard….Michael…get well soon).
