Alexa Mini has arrived!!!

Today I received my Alexa Mini camera from Abel Cine.  I'm so excited of what this little camera can do. I'm so happy to finally get rid of my Red Epic! This camera shoots 200 fps, shoots internal Raw, shoots 4K, and has a 4:3 sensor perfect for shooting anamorphic. And it weighs 5lbs!

Landshark Commercial

Just recently shot a commercial for Landshark Beer. We had a shark fin in CG swim through the floor of a bar and swim through the sand at a beach.  It was a fun and challenging shoot. Here is a shot of the fin in the background. Directed by: Benjamin Howdeshell and produced by Shawn Wallace.

Commercial in Kuwait and Egypt

Just spent the last 8 days in Kuwait working on a pretty great commercial for Kuwait. Playing with a lot of glass shapes in front of the lens. We spent a few days shooting on a small island right off of Kuwait city that I never knew existed. It was attacked by Iraq in 1991 and now it's pretty much a ghost town island.  Working with director Omar Kalifa who is a great UK director based in Qatar. This week I'm heading to Cairo to finish off the commercial. Looking forward to the finished product.  Here are some shots on the island.

Google Commercial

Just did a quick trip to New York for a Google commercial for Missing Pieces production company. This was the quickest job I've ever done. I took a red eye to NYC, then I went straight to set to work 10 hours and then took a red eye flight back to LA. I can check that off the ye old bucket list. Here's a shot right out front of the studio I worked in.

Pentax67 shots

Had a few minutes to shoot a roll of film on the Nike spot I just wrapped. Here are a few Pentax67 medium format shots!
