Wedding Highlight – Eric & Tiffany

By

Tiffany was a gorgeous bride, and Eric calmed his nerves to make it through the vows!  🙂  It was a wonderful ceremony….and one of my first weddings!  I’m proud to have captured all of the joyful moments during this fairytale type of day.  Thank you to Eric and Tiffany for having me aboard for your very important event in lovely Northern California.

For this wedding I produced a single camera, standard definition shoot.  I then edited the video into a flowing style, later placing the edited wedding ceremony and reception onto DVD along with this highlight.

Thanks for watching!

Tha Block w/ Urijah Faber – Promo Teaser

By

This is the promo teaser I created some years back for Tha Block, a webisode series I was working on with MMA/UFC superstar, and old friend of mine, Urijah Faber.  I followed Urijah and his Team Alpha Male crew around for a solid six months getting footage of fights, interviews, daily life, funny happenings, original scripted content and more.  We got a good amount of buzz from this video.  And everything was going well until an unfortunate turn of events.  Siiiiiigh…..

Although Urijah and I continue to work together, this project has been put on hold for the time being….I stress time being.  Too much work was put into it and I feel strongly about it’s quality and worth.  So, it’s all about adjusting to the circumstances and timing.  I have a lot of good stuff on these guys and the plan is to one day get it going again, either by turning the footage I gathered into a film of some sort, or, doing as originally was thought out and release webisodes.  Either way, I’ll have to gather new footage in addition to this older stuff in order to bring viewers up to date with this crazy bunch of S.O.B.’s!  You have to know when to let projects go.  But you also have to know how to see failure vs hiccups.  This project hasn’t failed.  Tha Block’s just marinating.  🙂

For more on Urijah and Team Alpha Male, and boy is there a lot out there on them, visit Urijah’s website at www.urijahfaber.com.  You can also just turn on the TV….

Thanks for watching!

L.O.S. – The Dream (Part 1)

By

I have been tinkering with webisodes for a while now.  The first one I ever did was a six parter following a couple of dudes with dreams of making it big.  This is part 1 of that webisode series, entitled L.O.S.: The Dream.  I’ll be putting the rest of the webisodes from this mini-series up after their unveiling on the upcoming, brand spanking new one studios site, which will have first dibs.  So, keep your eyes peeled.  If they’re one here, then the new one studios site is up and running, and you should probably check that out too…..just sayin’.

This is a pretty simple video, but fun.  Sometimes, it’s all about having fun.  My peeps involved in the video with me came to me and we quickly threw this together.  I did all production.  And I plan on doing more webisodes in the future using higher quality equipment and putting more time into them overall.  They’ll most definitely be shot in high def, unlike this series.  All in all, good stuff.  Enjoy!

Balloon Presents Michael Fey of McAfee on Info Security – Video Audio

By

I was contracted by NE Entertainment, in conjunction with creable Films, both out of L.A., to record and mix audio for the shoot for this video by the company Balloon.  Balloon was interviewing Mike Fey, CTO of McAfee.  I utilized a wireless lav mic setup that fed into an external recorder.  A shotgun mic was also fed directly into the RED Scarlet camera being used to shoot the footage as a backup.  The shoot was held at Intel Studios in Santa Clara, CA.  It was a fun gig with good people!

Thanks for listening.

Essence of Eternity – Feature Film Audio

By

The following trailer is for an upcoming feature called Essence of Eternity, by Director Richard Ryan and his production company Ox Films.  This feature is filming in multiple locations.  But for the majority of shoots Ox Films had in Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park and Lake Tahoe, CA, I was contracted as the Sound Recordist/Mixer.  I’ll be posting more audio I captured in my my upcoming Film Audio Reel, as well as including future clips with the audio as Ox Films releases them.

For now, enjoy the following teaser, which has just a small piece of the audio I recorded at the end of the clip.  It’s the part where the lead actor says, “Where’s my wife?!”  Believe me, I should be able to post some clips with way more of my audio from this film in the near future….hopefully when it’s been properly mastered.  But at least you get to hear it in its raw form!

I recorded and mixed the audio using wireless lav units, as well as a boom mic.  I had feeds going into a 16 bit recorder, a 24 bit recorder and the RED Scarlet camera that the scene was shot with.  Always get backups!  😉

***UPDATE!!!  Below the first clip described is a new trailer Ox Films recently released that has some more of my audio for the film.  In this clip you can hear audio I recorded and mixed at the following time markers……0:28 – 0:31 (Bathroom Fight & Boat), 1:04 – 1:07  (no audio but I did record for that scene), 1:35 – 1:37 (guys running), 1:42 – 1:48 (sitting in chairs), 1:56 – 2:00 (bathroom fight).  A lot of this was done with multi mic / multi recorder setups, including wireless lavs, boundary mics, shotgun mics, a Tascam HD-P2, a Zoom H6 and more.  I’ll be posting more of my audio bits from this film as they are released with video clips like this.  But, again, I’ll also be post stuff in my personal audio reel(s) as well.

Thanks for listening!

Therapydia – Flagship Clinic Program Video Audio

By

Therapydia is an exciting new company helping people be at their best physically.  The following video was done by Steel-Edge, a production company based in Los Angeles and San Francisco, CA.  I was contracted by Steel-Edge to record and mix the audio for the San Francisco based shoot for this video.  So, as you watch the video, listen up!  But note that I did not shoot or edit this clip.  That’s all Steel-Edge.  Me = Audio.  I used wireless lapel and boom mic systems to capture the audio to both the camera and my external recorder.  Some of the raw audio from this shoot will be included in my upcoming audio reel as well…if you’re interested.

Thanks for listening!

Biola University – Biola Alumni Awards 2013

By

I was contracted by Biola University to shoot an interview of Dr. Glen Thomas, who is an alum of Biola who went on to have a fruitful career in education and served as the California Secretary of Education under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger….Tha Governator himself!  Dr. Thomas is a great guy and it was a sincere pleasure shooting the interview and getting to know him a bit.

The footage I shot was later incorporated into a larger video for the 2013 Biola Alumni Awards.  The linked version of this video, done by the awesome William Hellmuth, is below.  William has chosen not to allow peeps to embed this video.  But I was still able to post his YouTube link, which allows me to still display the video.  So, just watch the video below to see clips of my interview of Dr. Glen Thomas.

You can also see clips of my interview with Dr. Thomas in a couple of my upcoming reels, which will be on the B’s Reels page.  This way, if there is any doubt I actually did the work, you can squash it.  🙂

Thanks for viewing!
