Batteryfire - Demo Reel 2008
 

Hey Guys,
Just finished a rough cut of my demo reel. It's about a minute long.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the content, length, cut speeds, music, etc.

I'm not sure about the music - it is peppy enough, but seems a bit too canned. Also, the ending shot does not seem in place with the rest of the reel.

Otherwise, I like it! It moves right along, and your work is quite good to my eye.

The Clueless Competitor - a mini documentary
 

I present The Clueless Competitor, a 7-minute video that has been causing quite a controversy on the bodybuilding forums.

Here is the post as presented on Musculardevelopment.com...

"Should there be minimum requirements to enter a bodybuilding contest or does anything go at the local level?

What if someone seems not to be in possession of all their faculties? Can just anyone get on stage at a bodybuilding contest?

Where do we draw the line?"

No problem. It should also appeal to those who are not familiar with the show.

Thanks for commenting.

Cheers,

Great! I loved it! I can not even critique, the film grabbed me. Thanks! :)

edit: With one exception, the first time the phone rings, it can't be heard in the film. The scene where the janitor is cleaning up the floor, then curses and races to the phone. Just before he curses, I can't hear anything, so there was sort of no reason for him to curse and throw down the broom.

Paradise Lost
 

Hi everyone my new short

Yah, the phone is ringing on and off during that sequence. It rings again right before he gets pissed off. :)
It's low, but it's there.

Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you enjoyed it.

Your comments are much appreciated. A nice bunch of kids with their first ever effort to showcase a selected original song with moving images.

Music vid for Coldplay contest
 

Got hired to DP a music video for a contest being held by Coldplay for their song Lost?. I used my Red One camera recording in 2K (the director wanted to do a lot of slo-mo 120FPS, can only do that in 2K). We shot it all over last weekend in the Boston area...mostly outside with temps in the 20's! Small crew...DP, Director/Producer, Gaffer, 2 grips, PA. Edited in 2 days (not by me...I wasn't involved in post at all). The director posted it on youtube yesterday. Click the option under the vid "watch in high quality". It looks much better than the low res. We were not able to record every shot he wanted in the script in the time we had. I plotted out 67 individual shots for the video from his script. There was no way we could do them all in the time (and budget) we had. So he had to sew it together with what we were able to get. see it here:
