Just the other week a friend of mine send me a link to a video contest for Wright-Patt Credit Union. Myself, Matt Mulchahey & Alex Mangen made an entry. Turn around was really fast and the film isn’t as polished as I’d like it to be but at least we made it in on time. The video stars the great Charlie Clark.
We shot the video in the North River Coffee House in Dayton and all the green screen of Charlie in my condo. We used some Kino lights and a small Arri kit to light everything. We used an HDV workflow that I converted to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ on ingestion and it seemed to work just fine between Final Cut Pro and After Effects.
Watch the video then follow this link and vote for the video “Web Banners.” Vote everyday until Feb. 15th!!
Recently I had the pleasure to work with a great group of producers, camera ops, grip & electric crew, countless PA’s and other crew members from all over the country on The Style Newtwork’s hit show Clean House. The show’s cross country tour landed them in the city of Westwood, Ohio just outside downtown Cincinnati. The Baglien home was the last stop for this season and boy was it a stop. This house took us twice as long as house a “normal” show (keep in mind this was the messiest house in America and we did the entire house, not just a few rooms) and the house had so many possesions/clutter in it that we had to get an out of business Steve & Barry’s retail location to house, sort and sell everything from the Baglien’s home.
Though the neighbors enjoyed us helping out the Baglien family, I’m sure they will not miss our three giant tour buses (one of which was used as John McCain’s Straight Talk Express), the grip truck, the generators, the merch truck, the many pass vans, the giant dumpsters etc. etc.
There was some drama on set as well a couple of times… remember this is a “reality show”… so I can’t wait to see how the show will be cut together in post. The 2 hour special should air around the 4th of July so check your local listings.
Just as an FYI for those that might be wondering… the show was shot on XDCAM. The lighting in the house is all Kino Flo w/daylight lamps… there was also a great deal of ND filters used on the windows at the house as well as at the yard sale location. Outside of the house it was all HMI.
Here are a few photos and a video from the shoot (excuse the quality, they are all off my cell phone):
This is just a cell phone video of a mouse in the basement
