    5 EASY WAYS TO HELP PREVENT CAMERA RELATED INJURIES

    Camera related injuries. They could easily be called the “Shooter’s Affliction.” Repetitive strain injuries. RSI.  Bulging discs in your lower back. Referred nerve pain. Tendonitis. Injuries that are sustained slowly over time from repetitive strain on the human body. In other words – from doing the same movements with your battery loaded camera and heavy tripod over and over again for long enough to cause serious damage. Oh and did I mention that pack on your back filled with extra […]

Our film is about two bumbling con artists who try to pull one over on a small, superstitious town by posing as paranormal investigators. A fun, collaborative short an Audience Choice Award winner at the 2013 Boston 48 Hour Film Project: […]

    TEAM TILTA CAMERA RIG REVIEW

    *** NEW INFO: I have been contacted by many of you about purchasing Tilta gear. I just got back from NAB Show 2013 and we spoke to Tilta about the problems contacting the US distributor. Team Tilta is no longer the US distributor for these rigs. The new US distributor is Ikan. Here’s their website: ikancorp.com/productfamily.php?id=199 A Chinese company named Team Tilta has designed a new camera rig system that looks like something out of a Terminator film. On par […]

    Switronix Torch LED BOLT Review

    Switronix Torch LED BOLT. This is the newest member of the Switronix Torch LED family. It’s called the BOLT. It’s 1/6th the size of a 12 inch LED Panel and it’s 2 times as bright. No kidding. It has two dimmers – one for the 32K set of LEDS and one for the 56K LEDS. You can control them separately or blend both the tungsten and daylight LEDs together to deliver a very bright light with a color temperature of […]

    Canon Cinema C300 Night Shoot Collaboration

    Any time someone asks me to be DP on a shoot with a Canon Cinema C300 I pretty much drop everything and acquiesce. Especially if that someone is my pal Paul Antico of Anticipate Media, who just happens to own one. Paul and I had been discussing doing another collaboration with his C300 after working together recently on the first Boston  Under 3 Minute Film Challenge. We also wanted to shoot something that would showcase how beautifully the C300 performs […]

    “Anniversary Day” 1st Boston 3 Minute Short Film Challenge

    Boston video production work comes to Salem, MA for the 1st 3 Minute Short Film Challenge Emma and Dan Talbot are celebrating their wedding anniversary. But sometimes love in the suburbs can get a bit messy. Below is one of my shots I borrowed from my favorite film Pulp Fiction. You can hear subtle references to Tarantino’s work in some of the dialogue I wrote for this script. So here it is. The first “Under 3 Minute Film Challenge” sponsored […]

    The Willows

    Salem, Massachusetts is one of those coastal towns on the north shore of Boston that has lots of character. I’ve shot many films in Salem since moving here. It’s an historical and colorful place with the tales of the Salem witches and the Mardi Gras atmosphere of Halloween (see my short: Halloween Carnival vimeo.com/16388984) But when all the tourists have left and summer arrives, locals flock to The Willows, a honky tonk picnic area with beautiful aging willow trees, arcades, […]

    How a BOSCPUG Canon C300 test film became “HUSTLE”

    It all began innocently enough as a 3 hour test shoot using Canon’s new Cinema EOS C300 digital cinema camera. Boston Creative Pro User Group (BOSCPUG) Founder/Producer and buddy Dan Berube received a C300 loaner on short notice from Canon to carry with him so he could have it on hand at the San Francisco SuperMeet which Dan produces. Realizing the opportunity, Dan dialed up Boston based cinematographers Chris Loughran, Ben Eckstein and myself to see if we were interested […]

    Little India Tekka Wet Market

    Back in Singapore again. I’ve pretty much seen most of this tiny island by now, even if it keeps evolving each time I come back. The Chinese are pumping money into the economy and the current commercial construction here would make your head spin. One of my facebook friends said it best when viewing a photo of Marina Bay Center I posted: “What planet are you visiting?” Since I’ve already done all the tourist locations, I wanted to make a […]
