Piazza Alta

https://vimeo.com/735867247 Leading up to this project, we wanted to pre-visualize (or test) a close-up shot of the rider, on the Vespa scooter. The honorable Graham Nolte was both the director and the lynchpin that built the team to make this ad possible. So, we setup some test shots. To simulate the composition and framing we used a walker (for older folks) as the handle bars for the Vespa scooter, and then we played with a few camera-frame rate settings. The camera settings that had a faster shutter, and lower frame-rate, made it feel like the scooter/walker was moving faster -- which is good! Ultimately, we…

Dunk League

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9Xso8U2XzI This season of Dunk League had a very aggressive shooting schedule, but it was a challenge we accepted and had a lot of fun doing so in the process.

Kroger Ad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzyhbgkUhu8 Bright, soft light served as our key light for this laid-back cooking spot. Our key was two Aputure 300DMii lights and both had a 2X Fresnel attached to them. To keep our foot print manageable, the two Aputure lights were mounted to a single stand by using a triple header. This project was shot in two separate locations (filmed at the same time). We filmed Adrienne Bailon's section with Clarence Fuller as the director and myself as both DP and Gaffer. To solve the problem of where to light, we looked at the room and the blocking and landed on keying our talent from…
