Water Sports

I've recently been working on creating a number of trailers for TimeDoc China and although I wasn't able to shoot the footage they gave me, scrubbing through it made me feel like I was along for the ride. The two spots are quite remarkable and beautiful. One is of a rafting trip down the Yangtze River and the other is of a sailing race off the coast of China. The other day, a friend from out of town came to stay with me for a few days and we started scheming on when we would do a similar rafting trip. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long!

Sticky: South Africa

On a motorcycle trip to South Africa last year, we spent a day or two checking out J-Bay, which is one of the top surf spots in the world. I managed to get some great footage of the locals catching some waves and decided to play around with AE, PS, and Premiere to make something of a mock intro to a surf film. Check out the result: http://vimeo.com/36979874








Knitting on Wheels

In February of 2010 the Olympics were in full swing in Vancouver and the city was overflowing with spectators from all over the world. Traffic crawled at a snails pace, sidewalks overflowed, and there was a lineup for hotdog stands that went for two blocks! During these two weeks of madness, a small documentary crew was trying to navigate the city in order to film two bike messengers as they went about their daily lives. It just so happens that I was the director and co-producer on this film. It was an interesting time to shoot a doc on bike couriers - I think it was probably the heaviest traffic and busiest downtown core in the history of Vancouver. Perhaps we should have done a doc on knitting. We did however manage to get a great doc out of it, that even went on to screen at a few festivals. You can watch the film here: http://vimeo.com/36967580



Ones & Zeros

It's an interesting day in age where you can be located in Boston, MA and get footage from half way around the world, edit it, and send it back across the world, all within a matter of hours.  I've been doing a lot of editing lately for TimeDoc China and the footage they send me is pretty incredibly.  Although, the footage is great, I can't help but think of how awesome it would be to have captured it myself. I'll post the films here shortly... In the meantime, here's a look at my latest cine reel. Enjoy!

Re-Birth

I've been working on updating my portfolio (it's been a few years) and therefore have been browsing through some of my old photos. It's fun to come across old photos that you've long since forgotten about, but now, seeing them in a new light, with older eyes, they have different meaning. Here are a few photos that have been resurrected!
