Just bought a Canon Rebel XTi.
I’ve been eyeing several Digital SLR camera’s for a very long time as I’ve always had a knack for photography. I decided to make the purchase today because it’s going to be an eventful summer for me with Comic Con in July, various trips to the beach, etc. Not to mention I’ve got a Photographic Communication class coming up in the Fall that requires me to have an SLR camera.
I will post more shots here from time to time.
As a freelance videographer and filmmaker I’m always learning new things, new techniques, old techniques, etc. In the world of video and/or filmmaking everyone has their own tastes, their own processes, and their own ideas about how things should be done. I’ve had the basics of video and film lighting drilled into my head. Now I’m beginning to experiment with specific techniques to see what I like best. Recently I’ve learned that fluorescent light is not the archenemy of video that it’s made out to be in TV production classes.

All around it’s another hilarious sketch from Kary and James inspired by a bit of improv from the Lab Rats comedy troupe at Mississippi State University. Click “Continue Reading” to view!
Two commercials that Myself and the Good Commitment team produced for the Magnolia Film Festival are now airing in the Golden Triangle area! Below are the two spots that were chosen to air. “Be Independent,” which is a quick tale of a character who chooses the film festival over an attractive female caller at the movie theater, and the second, “The Independent Film Fairy” represents our attempt at throwing it all to the wind and trying to be as silly as possible. Both spots turned out very good and it’s great to see them reaching a huge audience! Continue Reading
Well, it’s time to throw my hat into the veritable ring with my thoughts on Cloverfield. Now, I know that my thoughts here may or may not be exposed to a massive audience anytime soon, and that’s okay. This is a new blog after all! But for those of you who are reading, know that the following post isn’t just my mini-review of the movie, but my account of the dying movie experience. Continue Reading
