Adoption PSA

Last Sunday, we completed a PSA shoot in a NYC playground, on 96th and Lexington Ave. The project was written and directed by Jason Letkiewicz. We shot with a cast and crew of 45-50 people (most volunteering their time) and a single Red One MX camera.

Here is a still from the shoot.

Battle Cart NYC

The Dumont Dunes

We just finished up a PSA for The Wounded Warrior Project.

On the last day of the shoot, we found ourselves filming the logo shot at the base of the Dumont Dunes ... a few miles east of Death Valley, CA.




Here are a couple pictures of my camera position.






The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV under my charge was sporting a truly amazing Canon 600mm F/4 IS prime lens (Thanks to Canon USA).

Due to the 112 degree desert heat, the camera body needed to periodically be covered with ice packs to keep it cool.

As we focused our lenses on the two soldiers, nearly a half mile away, both the Director and I were left with an eerie feeling of what it must feel like to be on the battlefield.

I look forward to seeing the final cut.

Alternative Energy

Several weeks ago, a few of us went out and shot an extremely low budget piece for a talented Director named Alan Blake of Blake and Co.
It was an Internet spot for a NY based solar company named Green Logic.

This was the very first time we had a chance to use my new Red One camera, so it definitely involved a bit of a learning curve. Please be kind with your comments.























In light of all that is going on in the Gulf of Mexico right now, I am very glad we were involved in this project.

Stay in School Kids

This was released in the same year that I was.

1970 Baby!

Somebody was baked for the making of this PSA, and I am pretty sure that it wasn't the cameraman.




Now I feel like glade skiing.
