Dakota

Back to my beloved West Texas to shoot a short with friends called ‘Dakota’. It’s a slice of a larger project called ‘Trans-Pecos’. Cold and windy windy windy.

Beer Mile

The Beer Mile took place out at Circuit of the Americas and it’s a four-lap race where participants must chug an entire 12oz beer at the start of each lap. As you can imagine, there was puking galore. I haven’t been this artistically fulfilled since I was filming a Capybara take a dump in a bowl of water years back.

Jump Shot

Spent a REALLY cold few days in Laramie, WY, getting more interviews for the doc currently titled Jump Shot. It’s about the life of Kenny Sailors, a 94 year old man who is credited by some as the inventor of the jump shot in modern basketball. He has a life resume that reads like a Dos Equis spot. It was -18 at one point.

TXTag

A candy apple red convertible and bilingual Santas made for a rowdy couple of days. Was happy to have Mike Swanner along for the ride. Got to use my new 8050 as a plant mic in a couple of interesting ways.  Really happy with how it sounds, as I had heard it was a little tubby.

Dealt in Sweden

Dealt in Sweden
Finally learned that there are nerds all over the globe, even in Sweden. Covered Richard at a magic convention in Lund, Sweden. A little college town. Showed Richard performing, at the trade show, and even doing a workshop with a few fortunate aspiring card mechanics. Got to have lunch in a castle on my birthday!

Mules and Pools

Did a five-day campaign for Smirnoff, which had just barely enough dialog to justify me being there, mostly I got to play DJ for playback during party scenes. Great group, would love to work in that config all the time.

Utah Alcohol Dealy

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.

Make it Rain

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.

Hooked!

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.
