I had the pleasure of working with Studio C3 and we shot with one of the new(ish) Arri M18 HMI lamps. I have to admit i have been caught up in the LED light craze, as I think most of us have been. They are small put out decent light and can be very very…

It was bit of a slow weekend and I decided to watch the Criterion Blu-Ray of Days of Heaven (1978). First off I forgot how truly gorgeous this film was, the shots of the wheat fields are absolutely breath taking. Néstor Almendros really made this Tarrence Malick film sing.

Last night I attended my first COPVA MeetUp and now I want to use some practical effects!. It was great to meet a bunch of new people. Jim Milligans presentation was amazing. He made practical effects seem fun and very accessible. It really opened my eyes and has me thinking of ways to up my production…
I have to say finally seeing #AClockWorkOrange on the big screen was everything I had hoped it would be. I cant wait for the next Kubrick screening. It’s always fun to see a movie you know forwards and backwards with an audience for the first time, it always reveals laughs or shocks you never really…
