Feels Like Photo Week

So I was going back over some of my old photos today and I came across some old photos me and my girlfriend took the day before we started filming Voicebox which was back in May. For some reason I kept thinking to myself that the pictures were not good enough to be used or something...I hadn't forgotten that I took them, just overlooked them. Anyway I found three of my favorite photos and did some touch ups and here they are. Enjoy!

Random Movie Fact: In the 2004 film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, the Mexican restaurant Veronica visits with the girls from the station is named "Escupimos en su Alimento". In Spanish, that means, "We spit in your food".

This Saturday

Everyone should come on down to Dundalk Heritage Park this Saturday at 2pm to join in on the fun of the Dundalk Zombie Walk. We will be there taking pictures as well as at our booth giving away free goody bags! It will be fun for the whole family so stop down anytime from 2-6pm.

Phew...I am exhausted but still moving from the past few days. This weekend was pretty much the biggest weekend ever in terms of work/importance. All this past week I was helping a studio based out of California to get ready for a documentary shoot here in Maryland. Throughout the week we found grips, an AC, makeup people, and a DIT (myself). Then they needed black wood frames to hang bike parts in to have as the backdrop to the interview, so with the assistance of my father, all Friday night I was painting wood. I got it all done the frames were put together and we were in business. Saturday night comes around and they asked if we could make four more, there was no way to make them but we were able to paint the materials for four more. Sunday comes we take the frames and got to set on time. Then all day Sunday we were filming two interviews one with Debbie Pastrana and the other with the legend Travis Pastrana himself. It was great, stressful at times, but awesome to be in that environment. The next day we came back again at 10:30am and cleaned up the mess from Sunday.

That is why I haven't really been able to update and with the Zombie Walk coming up it is another week of dealing with crunch time.

Random Movie Fact: In the 2008 film Frost/Nixon, Both Frank Langella and Michael Sheen repeat the roles they created on stage. Ron Howard would only agree to direct if the studio would allow both actors to appear in the film version.

More HDR Fun

So just about an hour ago I went to Fort Howard State Park to snap a couple of photos. I was not very successful in getting a huge number of cool photos but I got to work with some HDR photography again. Well posted below are the two images of the day. I had a little bit of fun with these so let me know what you think.

Random Movie Fact: In the 2009 film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, mr Weasley's shed of Muggle artefacts contains, among other things, two Remington Noiseless Portable Typewriters and an HP Laserjet 4.

Music Video in the Works

Well a follow up music video is officially in the works for local Baltimore rapper Kane Mayfield of Mania Music Group. The song has been selected, story fleshed out and a small crew of video people assembled. This time around the feel should be much more cinematic but that is all I can really say now, everything else is hush hush so that when it drops it comes as more of a surprise for everyone. I am really excited about this one and hope to have something with some sweet quality!

Anyway in other news I have an interview/meeting with a local production house about I think an upcoming video gig this weekend, or maybe it is about getting a job there. I am not sure really we never said which one it would be, just kind of agreed to a time to meet and chat. So we will see what happens, I kind of would love a job right now but then again if he just asked me to work on a job by job basis I would be happier because I want to be able to hardcore freelance myself. Either way I am not complaining just gotta see where today takes me.
