Circle of Tapawingo takes a look at how a bereavement camp in Maine helps heal the pain of young girls grieving the loss of a parent. Produced/edited by Rick Macomber, co-produced Julie Geer and beautifully shot by Chris Loughran, this story will pull at your heartstrings.
Here’s the latest Air Traffic Controller music video from their NORDO album titled “Ready or Not,” written by singer/songwriter Dave Munro. We shot the entire story with the Canon C300, both the narrative and the performance segments, using Kessler Cranes, Kessler Pocket Dolly, Kessler Stealth slider, Tilta rig, ikan D7w monitor and a Glidecam HD 4000 with the forearm support brace. What I love about the Canon C300 EOS Cinema Camera is how it can be rigged up for handheld [...]
While in NYC just a day before Sandy landed in lower Manhattan I took a stroll through Washington Square Park in the village with no intent on shooting a frame of video. But after listening to the Baby Soda jazz band in the square, I switched over to movie mode and produced this short film for them on a whim. Kick back and take a look at a slice of life in Greenwich Village. Shot with a Canon 60D handheld [...]
Any time someone asks me to be DP on a shoot with a Canon Cinema EOS 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 [...]
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 by Anticipate Media and Macomber Productions. For this challenge each cinematographer, using a pen as a [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This is a tribute to our pet cat Ginger, who recently passed away. The thumbnail image above for the video was taken during early morning hours. It’s a memorable moment played out every day where Ginger would hide behind the back of her favorite chair and peek out at me. Whenever I came home she would run over to that chair and begin her hide and seek ritual. When we first saw Ginger at Northeast Animal Shelter seventeen years ago, [...]
