HOW WE MADE THE ATC MUSIC VIDEO “READY OR NOT”

January 24, 2013 at 12:12 pm / Blog

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 […]

A WALK IN THE PARK

December 11, 2012 at 6:17 pm / Blog

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. The setup was handheld. No rig for my Canon 60D. I chose to shoot a song that was upbeat for […]

Tekka Market Trailer, Little India in Singapore

June 17, 2011 at 12:39 pm / Blog

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 the photo of Marina Bay Center I posted below: “What […]

Seaport Salon and Day Spa

Who doesn’t like a day at the spa? Everyone should treat themselves to a full body pampering once in a while. This shoot was produced for my friend Susan Mulvihill Meldrum, owner/operator of The Seaport Salon and Day Spa, located on Lynn Harbor in Lynn, Massachusetts. When I did the site survey and checked out the interior, I knew immediately that I wanted […]

Temple of Heavenly Happiness – Macomber Productions

April 28, 2011 at 12:35 pm / Blog

Thian Hock Keng, the “Temple of Heavenly Happiness” is the oldest Hokkien Chinese temple in Singapore. It was built from 1839-42 and dedicated to Ma Zu, the Chinese goddess of the sea. Sailors would seek her advice before embarking on voyages because of the widely held belief that she could predict the weather. Since I am a big fan of both history and architecture… I decided to check it out with my Canon T2i and my GorillaPod. On the morning […]

Moment in San Diego

April 26, 2011 at 8:05 am / Blog

I was in San Diego for a few days with a Canon T2i, a 17-50mm f2.8 and my trusty Gorillapod. I didn’t go to shoot anything really. Basically just visiting my daughter. A personal trip. But I just couldn’t ignore the street musician with the Wayfarers on his weathered face playing classical guitar on Ocean Beach. Or […]

Macomber Productions recently returned to Singapura, which is the Malay name for Singapore, meaning “The Lion City.” The Merlion statue, with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, watches over the city from Marina Bay at One Fullerton Place. It’s surrounded by Marina Park, the Esplanade, the Fullerton Hotel and the new Marina Sands Resort, three tall structures connected with a green roof deck designed in the shape of a Chinese character. Lazily winding it’s way […]

Northeastern Undergrad Macomber Productions Promo

March 21, 2011 at 12:07 am / Blog

Northeastern University contracted Macomber Productions to produce this new promotional film for their website. We were on a tight schedule but managed to get most of the shoot done in one day, including the b roll. For this shoot we used a combination of softbox tungsten light for some of the interviews and soft natural window light with 56K backlight for others. Since the schedule was tight and there was minimal setup time for lighting, it was key to have […]
