Made three spots over two days, directed by Scott Rice. Still looking forward to seeing them, as one has a human-sized bobblehead and another spot has giant spiders.
This was the first gig I got to use my new PSC Solice Mini mixer with.
Spent a few days on an X-Men fan fiction short in a ginormous warehouse out off of 130. Was sweating the acoustics but I think we captured some usable stuff. Lots of stunts and VFX will be in this.
Did a three day blur of a spot for the Office of Tobacco Prevention. Meredith Johns created a nice hook in mouth gag and we dragged a young baseball player all over town.
Spent a couple days putting this fun spot together. Byron is always good to work with and everyone (especially Deep Eddy) was happy with how this campaign turned out.
Not every day you get to hang at the office with a dancing bear.
Making the rounds. Stayed in an AirBNB-type situation that was really great. Newly restored two-floor condo in a great neighborhood. Perfect weather as well, tricking me into wanting to live there. The cold was months away. Richard was performing a ‘one man show’ version of his act at a neat little theater and we also spent a day sightseeing with him and his wife, Kim. On a downer note, my Mom had a heart incident in Chicago the week before on a three day trip and was still stuck in a hospital while we were there.
Another bloated, traffic-choking, corporate branding orgy has come and gone. While SXSW is a week where anyone with a boom pole and a pulse can be busy, I have vowed this one was my last. It is definitely one of the horsemen of this once fair cities apocalypse.
Fun web series I day-played on. Simple setup, boom/lav, one talent.
Often I can’t talk much or post things about stuff in progress, but this doc is very public. It’s about the life of Richard Turner, a multi-talented ‘card mechanic’ who happens to be unable to see. We began shooting in November with a trip to Richard’s sisters place in Idaho. We recently shot several of his shows in Hollywood at the Magic Castle.
2 day shoot for AT&T. It featured Robert Earl Keen, Andy Roddick and Dale Watson. Set the all-time record for utterances of ‘got it’.
Yours truly made it into the BTS.
