Random Photos of the Day

Today I went around my yard and took some random photos, I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think.

Random Movie Fact: In the 1999 film Anna and the King, 3 months into filming an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis hampered the filming. Some sets had to be relocated because they were too close to pig farms (the main source, transmitted by mosquitoes). All the cast and crew were given a vaccine by the set doctor, and some sets were sprayed with insecticide before crew turned up to start filming.

Rocks State Park

So yesterday was the first day in a little while me and my girlfriend Ashley have been able to spend the whole day together. Not knowing what to do I randomly suggested to go to Rocks State Park and off we went. It was fun, relaxing, and a good time with my girl. I snapped a few photos and so did Ashley so here are the pictures from the day.

Random Movie Fact: In the 2002 film Tuck Everlasting, The working title for the movie was "The Everlasting Tucks", but director Jay Russell thought the original name would fit the movie better.

Product Photography

Well this week, I worked a few days a local car dealership taking photos of new cars for the website. It was a good learning experience and got to meet some nice people. I have been offered a part time job at the place, but I don't think I will stick with it just because the pay is too low and the work is harder than you think (baking out in the hot sun and manuevering the cars a different way for each shot takes it out on you). And on top of that the pay is next to nothing, but anyway here are some of the best shots from the week...Enjoy!

Random Movie Fact: In the 1982 film Creepshow, at the beginning of the film when the boys father is scolding him for reading the comic, the boy comes back with saying it's no worse than what's in the porno magazines his father has. Stephen King got his start writing short horror stories for pornographic magazines.

Music Video Shoot Tomorrow

So tomorrow is my first official shoot since the 48 hour film festival and it is a new rap music video for Kane Mayfield! I am excited to be working with him again and I am aiming to create something more cinematic than the last music video. So tomorrow starting around 1pm that is going to be the rest of my day!

Last night I went scouting on another upcoming music video with my DP Chris Hill, it was cool we got to check out a lot of the local bars around my way. After a couple of misses on bars we found the perfect one and we are in talks to lock it down for the video. I am excited for this one since it is a video for a genre I never thought I would get into, but it will be worth it for sure. So more to come on that, we are looking to actually film sometime between July 18th-20th.

Random Movie Fact: In the 1994 animated film The Lion King, one of the bugs that Timon pulls out of a knothole during Hakuna Matata is wearing Mickey Mouse ears.
