Update

It's been a while since I last updated you guys on what I've been doing so here's a little of what's been going on. I recently got a chance to work on the PC party election commercial for David Alward as the cinematographer and is now online.


I've also been organizing the first annual Saint Andrews Film Festival which is taking up most of my time but I think will be worth it once the festival gets underway which I'm really excited for. Visit Saff.ca for more details.

On The Drive

I was recently working on a video in Northern New Brunswick and on the drive back I pulled over to film things that looked interesting or were nice views. Here's what I put together from all the footage.

House 5D

A sneak peak of the season finale episode of House that was shot on the Canon 5Dmk2 DSLR.

Editor Teaser

Here's a teaser for a short film called "The Editor" directed by Jillian Acreman and I'll be the Director of Photography. The film hasn't been shot yet but we were shooting some still photos for promotional material for the film and figured since we were shooting on the 7d which does stills and video that we may as well shoot some footage to put together a little teaser for the film. Production for the film starts in early June.

Short teaser

Last fall I shot a short film for a friend Will Beatty, and the short film was the first thing I had ever shot on the Canon 7D which had a few learning curves at first but we figured it out. But when I got to watch the footage back that's when I knew the potential of the SLR camera's for filmmaking. Here's a little teaser from the short film.

NAB 2010

This year at NAB(National Association of Broadcasters) conference all the rage is around HDSLR's, I've heard that almost every booth have these cameras setup with each companies support systems or something related to the HDSLR's. Below is a video of the pioneer who did the first short film with an slr Vincent Laforet at NAB.



Also Litepanels have come up with some cool new products including a 250w fresnel which uses an LED light and outputs the same brightness as a 2k Tungsten fresnel.

HDSLR News

There's been a lot of talk online amongst cinematographers about HDSLR's lately and the big one would be Zeiss's announcement about releasing a Cine style lens that is exactly like any other 35mm pl mount lens, only they're EF mount so they will fit on any Canon Slr's. Also the season finale episode of the TV show House was completely shot on a Canon 5dmk2 SLR. And below is a short film shot by Shane Hurlbut ASC.
