Spike Jonze – I’m Here
Spike Jonze’s latest work is in the short’s program #1. Entitled “I’m Here” it is a robot love-story. Excited to see it, if I get some free time, during the Sundance Film Festival.
A Day with Will – Dubai Part Two
There is an indoor ski and snowboard hill inside the mall of the Emirates in Dubai. It’s incredibly cheezy. Fake snow in a gigantic refrigerator. I personally enjoy the snowmen and penguins – oh and the ski lift. The Address Hotel in Dubai is a nice place to stay. Plus it looks like a gigantic...
Banksy’s Exit Through the Gift Shop @ Sundance
Banksy’s Exit Through the Gift Shop will premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. So the piece on Park Ave indicates that the artist himself is in Park City for the premiere. The full length film is due out in Spring 2010.
A Day with Will – Sundance 2010 Day Zero
Less than 24 hours from the first official day of the Sundance Film Festival and the snow is still coming down. This is my third year working at the festival. Which makes me feel more relaxed and comfortable with the event. Plus that I have more great Sundance friends than the previous years. The light...
VOW – Formula Drift 2009 by Hobo Herron
The Hobo has done it again. My pick for Video Of the Week is Joshua Herron’s Formula Drift 2009. Excellent song selection and shots of the personalities that make FD great. Glad to see Josh is doing big things in 2010. The best part is that Hobo was able to assemble this edit without attending...
A Day with Will – Dubai
January 2010, the Dubai 24H race brought me to the UAE. To document the Need For Speed team’s 997 GT III cup car with the Speedhunters team. Dubai is an juxtaposition of eastern and western cultures. As a center of tourism, Dubai is a playground for western tourists. While also being rooted in its arabic...
One Too Many Mornings Trailer
Michael Mohan is an amazingly nice guy. His first feature film, One Too Many Mornings, is premiering at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Which is also amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Mike on a few Sundance projects over the past two years and was always impressed by his creativity and dedication. One...
Video Of the Week – Winch Madness
My pick for Video Of the Week is Winch Madness. Winch Madness combines great titling, good cinematography, a killer JUSTICE track, and the combination of wake skating, a gas powered winch, and some skilled riders. Hopefully you will be just as inspired as I was from watching it. Impressive.
Quick Snaps – Washed Up
Down the bike path from me is Playa Del Rey. Playa Del Rey is situated on the beach just north of LAX. Its a chill and relaxed little town. Dive bars and coffee shops. Plus a washed up sail boat that is now fenced off with snow fence – like a monument or tombstone to...
A Day with Will – Pin Hole Camera
As a Christmas present, my sister Lindy gave me a Pin Hole camera kit. The kit includes a home made camera photography book and the pieces to assemble your own 35mm pin hole camera. Using the heavy paper, dowel rods, pre punched pin holes, and take up canister – you can build your own pin...
Interview with Hobo Herron
Joshua ‘Hobo’ Herron did this interview for Death Machines. When Josh was out visiting me a few months back we shot both of our interviews at the same time. Josh’s came out great. He was able to cut together his funny answers and capture his personality better than mine. Mine comes off a bit stiff...
Midwest Surfers – Bittersweet Trip
Chris Adams shot and cut together this quickie edit from our recent trip to Bittersweet Ski Resort in Otsego, Michigan. I eat it on a small method grab within the first minute, but redeem myself with a clean gap over an iced tree. Thanks Chris for cutting this together. All shot on a Go Pro...
