Up until the final moments before sunset I still had no idea what I was going to do for One Day on Earth this year. As a matter of fact, I had been so busy working all day, I was about to blow the whole thing off and head home… until I saw the sun setting across the street from the TV studio along the Charles River, a place where only a few weeks ago had been the staging area […]
This is the extended version of the promotional film for Northeastern University’s Math Department. It includes information from professors and students about the Prism Program, the Coop Program and the Reaserch and Graduate Studies Programs. Special thanks to Brian Sullivan for shooting the interviews with the former co-op students at John Hancock. […]
So… what do you do when you are invited to hang at a lens test party with a bunch of cinematographers slinging cool gear and a promise of free food? A sort of lingerie party for guys? You shoot a BTS short film of course! And that’s exactly what I did as DPs Ben Eckstein, Chris Loughran and the gang scrutinized a plethora of lenses ranging in price from $350 to $20,000 on […]
Singapore. It keeps calling me. Small – but big. A bustling metropolis – but super clean. People have asked me if the rumors about chewing gum being illegal there are true. In a way… yes. Gum was banned in Singapore in 1992. The importing or sale of gum was banned as well. That’s one of the reasons the city stays so spotless. So […]
Such a happy couple in love, Sara + Matt were a joy to work with on this perfect day at Castle Hill in Newport, RI. The operatic duet at the beginning of this trailer was performed live at the church. […]
Back in Singapore again. I’ve pretty much seen most of this tiny island by now, even if it keeps evolving each time I come back. The Chinese are pumping money into the economy and the current commercial construction here would make your head spin. One of my facebook friends said it best when viewing the photo of Marina Bay Center I posted below: “What […]
This DSLR short was part of a series of three promotional films for Northeastern University in Boston. There were lots of locations for the interviews so we had many setups and break downs during the day. Some of the interviews were shot with natural light and some were lit. […]
It’s rare that you’ll ever read a blog from me about my experiences while working my day job at CBS. I’m usually too busy driving to distant locations, gathering interviews and b roll shots, editing under the gun, exporting the timeline sequence minutes before we go on TV to feed back to the station via satellite or microwave truck and finally rushing out to the live camera location to report the story to our viewers. But on this day as […]
This is my contribution to 10-10-10 One Day on Earth, documenting the planet in one day. It was a real run and gun last minute shoot for me. Up until a few days before D-Day I was still unsure about what my subject matter would be. Add the fact that I had a paying gig later that same day and ladies and gents… you got a possible situation here. Suddenly I was […]
Who doesn’t like a day at the spa? Everyone should treat themselves to a full body pampering once in a while. This shoot was produced for my friend Susan Mulvihill Meldrum, owner/operator of The Seaport Salon and Day Spa, located on Lynn Harbor in Lynn, Massachusetts. When I did the site survey and checked out the interior, I knew immediately that I wanted […]
