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 [...]
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 [...]

For my big, final class project in Advanced Video we had to choose a local business and create an institutional for them. A few of us got really excited about my professor’s mention of Kicker – a local car stereo company that has taken over the world of car audio. Actually, Stillwater Designs manufactures Kicker [...]
One of my greatest joys in filmmaking is just playing around. I love to mess with action and adventure. Last December (2008), I wanted to play with my new Casio Ex-Fh20 which specializes in high speed, aka slow motion. My brother and cousin are the perfect test subjects. They are willing to do anything! So, [...]
