New Documentary: Garbage Truck Santa

I've finally found time to start editing my documentary on local Whitehorse Legend: Garbage Truck Santa (AKA Wayne Henderson). Last winter I acted as Santa's little documentary Elf for a day as he cruised around Whitehorse handing out Candy Canes and spreading the Xmas cheer. It was a great day on many levels and I'm excited to see how the doc is coming together. It feels good be back in the doc world. I'll post a trailer soon, but in the meantime here are a few screen grabs:

Macro Chemistry Fun

Here's a little sequence I threw together using some footage found on the editing floor from a recent UBC Chemistry shoot. I think it would make for a pretty cool title sequence. Maybe for Breaking Bad: Season 10 - Still Broke.

UBC Chemistry

I was commissioned by UBC to produce a series of 10 videos for their 3rd year Chemistry students. This was a pretty complicated project as my knowledge of basic chemistry was pretty lacking…ok, I knew pretty much nothing about chemistry (the last time I even looked at a bunsen burner was in grade 10). Ions, photomultiplier tubes, cations, electrons, etc. became my new language. Luckily I had a Grad Student and a Professor close at hand to act as translators and help with the process.

Matthew Lien Music Video

I've been working with my pal Matthew Lien on a music video for his new single Headwaters and started using windows in Premiere to do some basic colour grading. The video uses a lot of footage I shot on our canoe trip down the Wind River a few summers ago (see older blog post) so it's brought back a lot of fond memories…just in time for summer!
Here are some before and after shots:
