I am really loving the new hardwoods in my office….definitely giving me a creative mental boost. Still working on the all important lighting 🙂
So I fully planned to film all games at my son’s Lacrosse tournament in Virginia this weekend….the heat shut that right down. I got two games into it and my gear started flaking out. Next time I’ll remember no shooting games during heatwaves :(
I am so close to putting my office back together….lots to do till then!
Getting closer to having my office back….
So my office is out of commission for at least two weeks, so I think I am going to setup my Mac Studio up in a corner somewhere and make some serious headway into learning Blender.
Feeling a bit blue today, my creative space is being dismantled. We are having upstairs carpet replaced and hardwoods put in……so everything had to come out. Including my whole office. 2 weeks of packing came down to this….movers are filling up the garage. I managed to fit most of my office in the bathroom. Soon it will be time to put it all back…😄
And just like that I have my trusted old Manfrotto Bogan tripod back in service….$25 for a small brass screw…deal of the century
It always make things go smooth when you get someone that is comfortable in front of the lens. Thanks to Chief Monteith of the Davidson Fire Department for making it so easy
A few more shots from today’s shoot. The location was awesome….made for my lights…I wish they could all be so painless.
First time using the Z7u and the NX80 together….the part for my old tripod did not get here on time for the shoot….thank god for zip ties
About to setup for a two camera interview shoot with members of the city of Davidson NC Fire department….I really want some of the newer led lights…..old school is heavy :)
Tuesday night Lacrosse game, glad to get out and try out this new Manfrotto tripod. After 34 years of wear and tear my old fluid head got messed up last week. So trying out this new one before my video shoot with members of the Davidson NC Firehouse next week…works out good!
First game for my son’s HS Lacrosse team….once again I committed to recording all the games. Since this is school not competitive travel team I thought I would shoot from top of press box…..I love shooting from the top…no one gets in your way :)
So I have always wanted to be able to do my own high end 3D animation in house. I finally got serious. First I started to push my 3D After Effects usage up with Cinema 4D! I also loaded Blender onto my workstation ….I’ll post some stuff as this new venture unfolds…have a great 2024 everyone
Just came across this sweet little map of Africa I animated for a client. Came out nice.
It’s good to get out and put the NX80 though it’s paces. Been dreaming lately about getting into a Sony FX3….just a dream 😍
Shooting some b-roll for a video I’m doing for the city of Davidson Fire Department. They asked if I wanted to ride the ladder going up…Oh Hell Yes!
I was going through some old hard drives and found this file in a folder of logos......if you know...you know! Miss you dude, miss all those board meetings in the board room (your BareFoot Nautique or my Martinique on Lake Allatoona)!
I have not done a live music event related video in a very long time….so here is the start of the promo video for local band Orange Plush!
Hey, thought I would post this video I did for my client last month. This was a social media teaser video. All After Effects.
Shooting my son full games again for last tournament of the summer. Kind of close to my old haunts. We are playing in Gainesville all weekend. In the fall we might have a tournament in Kennesaw….that would be awesome.
My sons Lacrosse Tournament this week is in Asheville. I normally bring a camera and get some footage of my son…just to play around and film…but when some of his teammates asked for someone to film the whole game, I decided I would film every game start to finish. Filming lacrosse is hard to film. Soccer, Football are easy compared to this….I’m getting the hang of it :)
First tournament for my son’s lacrosse team…time to play with the NX80. Go Miners 🥍
Just found this video on an old workstation. Wow...I miss this place! My old subterranean office in the basement back in Atlanta. It was glorious...from the industrial shelving packed with all my video gear and equipment to my 2 wrap around desks with 4 diff workstation running. My beloved 50" Plasma hanging from the floor joist with wire..because flat screens back then kinda weighed a metric ton. ( cant forget the perfectly laid out track lighting...(my wife laughs at my affection for track lights) It was a different time then... and now I think of all the projects I did and the place I designed and executed them in..so fondly.
With my wife out of town on business trip and not landing in time to make my daughters recital…I thought good time to break out the NX80 / NinjaV
More adventures in silkscreen...in a galaxy far far away :) (so long ago)
So I thought I would share this 2D animation piece I did in After Effects last month.....I was a teaser to announce the opening of a new building on the campus of Mississippi State University. Let me know what you think? :)
Here is a few of the Blue Bird clips I shot yesterday in the backyard. Color corrected with FX factory
