My lastest video comes from the most exotic natural location in the world: the Grand Canyon. It is a long drive from Oklahoma. We passed through blizzards and closed highways but eventually made it. I really wanted to take some sweet sunrise, sunset and star time lapse photos. I didn’t really accomplish any of that [...]
I was so consumed with my Vimeo Application that I decided to take a little break last week. And I was grossly sick. Anyway, my application began for Community Apprentice began weeks before it was finished. An email from Vimeo said there were jobs available. How cool would it be to work for Vimeo? I [...]
Sifting through some of my favorite Web sites on Monday, I came across a blog post on vimeo.com about a Weekend Project. The project was to make a video that incorporates multiple frames of action within a single frame. Oddly, I had been thinking about this the week before. I think it’s an awesome technique [...]
I spent the last week and a half fashioning two PSAs for the City of Stillwater as part of my job at TV23. My boss always comes to me yelling that we have a week to make PSAs. I hear about them for the first time, and then I have a week to make something. [...]
About a month ago, I shaved my beard. I had to for an interview. It was the longest my beard had ever been, and I was getting kind of proud of it. Anyway, I knew I had to get the shave on video. And I love Philip Bloom’s 7D shaving video. So, I thought I [...]
One of the most cumbersome tasks I knew I had to complete over the Christmas break was my demo reel. I was absolutely dredding it and had been for months. There is just so much footage to sort through. It was absolutely ridiculous. I did not even want to start. Luckily, I was motivated to [...]
A week and a half ago, I landed field passes for the Cotton Bowl to test out some video on the Canon 7D. The problem was that I had no idea what I was doing. I haven’t had this camera long, and I’ve never shot a football game before. I did not know what to [...]
I drove by POPS in Arcadia, Oklahoma, a few nights ago and couldn’t resist shooting some video with the 7D (after all, the POPS bottle was Christmas colors!). I was thinking of ways to shoot it, and finally I resorted to shooting it vertical. Tanner Herriott (tannerherriott.com) did some pretty sweet vertical video tests of [...]
I’m finally getting my stuff together in all the chaos of the holidays. Been waiting for my free vimeo account to allow me to upload another HD video (I get one a week). So, I got my first little tie together all uploaded and ready to go. This was my first time shooting with a [...]
My favourite lights of the holiday season are in Oklahoma City on 19th and Olie Avenue. (Why the British spelling? Because it is much cooler than ours). Anyway, I saw these lights three times because they were so cool. The first time I was with my parents. The next night, I went back with my [...]
