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.
Did a couple of pickup days doing interviews with the Daredevil folk. A bad day at the office for them can get pretty dang bad.
C300 was the main camera.
My good friend Jenny Goddard-Garcia wrote and directed this humorous short. We shot in Lockhart and Austin. As I love camping I chose to stay in Lockhart State Park one night versus a three hour round trip. My 8yr old had his first paid extra role on this.
Shot on the Sony F55.
Finally, I got to work in New Mexico. This is a short film directed by Dan Ireland set in in the civil rights area. Long drive to Santa Fe and most shooting occurred in Las Vegas, NM and Portales, NM. Fun cast and crew. A LOT had to happen in a very short amount of time.
Shot on the Alexa.
Ever wonder what it would be like to spend the day with a big fan of Kelly Clarkson? Me neither. It happened, though, thanks to the good folk at the Rachel Ray show.
Spent a couple days with some badass dudes and some badass planes.
Red Epic, wireless hop. Had an aviation radio patched in as well.
Spent a fun Saturday in College Station with Jon from. Shooting stuff for a project called Jon vs College. We learned the dying art of ‘ring dunking’ from A&M students and alumni at the Dixie Chicken.
