My short drama, titled Winter Storm, is finally in-production. This intimate father and son tale tracks the morning of their first hunting trip together. I was excited to share a few Winter Storm storyboard frames a while back so I’m definitely very happy to finally reach the point of beginning.
We have created a Winter Storm Facebook page to ramp up some support. We’ll be documenting our progress there, so check it periodically. Heck, hit the ‘like’ button if you’re in the mood for it, you know we appreciate it!
I must return to the work that lies ahead, but let me leave you with the words of Willa Cather: “There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.”

Tilt-shift photography is a photographic style that utilizes tilt-shift lenses. There are two different types of movements at work: rotation of the lens against the image plane (tilt), and the movement of the lens parallel to it (shift). This technique results a very shallow depth of field and a large aperture. Tilting the plane creates an area of sharp focus in the picture, also called ‘selective focus’, directing the viewer’s attention to a small part of the image while de-emphasizing other areas.
With the evolution of digital photography this technique can be easily achieved in post processing. It affords greater flexibility when choosing the sharp region and more control over the amount of blur for the out of focus regions. The digital process has created endless possibilities and its most popular application is a new technique called ‘miniature faking’. Miniature faking uses life-size locations or objects and makes them look like a photograph of miniature scale models. The effect is best achieved with photographs taken from a high angle and can be further enhanced by increasing contrast and adding color saturation.
My obsession with the Tour de France has prompted me to try this technique on a couple of photographs from the race with hopes of applying the tilt-shift effect to my filmmaking endeavors.

I cut this promo for the West Coast Clinical Summit at EEG Info. It introduces James Hood’s music, remixed exclusively for the 80 level expansion pack of Inner Tube 3.0 (Cygnet). James, aka Moodswings, has been making “transformational” music for the past 20 years. His electronic landscapes are the prefect fit for this game, where the player uses his/her brainwaves to fly through different tunnels. You can find out more about neurofeedback (brain exercise/therapy) here.

I haven’t been able to post for a while because it’s been a pretty hectic summer for me. Our short film, June Gloom, is doing really well at the film festivals (we’re up to our 5th Official Selection!) and it constantly needs some attention. I’ve been updating all the promo material, making more DVDs and I even managed to design new postcards for the upcoming AOF Int’l Festival. Printing and mailing them out is another job in itself…
Still, I was also able to jump on a few interesting projects, including my foodstylist friend, El’s Outback Compilation Reel. I love the food shots and the song was stuck in my head for days. On top of that, the editing process kept me salivating.

A blast from the past. This beauty is loaded with vintage Shimano 105 components, including a Shimano Biopace chainwheel, Campagnolo low flange hubset with Mavic GP4 wheels and brand new Challenge Vulcano sew-up tires. Cinelli handle bars and stem. Selle Italia Turbo saddle. What an elegant machine.
