2010/07/31 / posted in narrative / No Comments

My friend and director, Justin Viar, has been having a great run on Cracked.com with a comedy web-series called After Hours. We’ve been shooting these projects on the Canon 5D using Canon and Sigma lenses. Here are links to two of the episodes currently running:

After Hours: Why ‘Back to the Future’ Is Secretly Horrifying
1.1 Million views since mid-July.

After Hours: 5 Classic Movie High Schools That Would Suck to Attend
500,000 views since August.

Also playing on Cracked.com….

Worst Second Date Ever
Just released and worth a look. This short feature one of the stars from “After Hours”, Soren Bowie. I’m quite please with how it turned out and I hope you like it too.

Stereography training

2010/07/30 / posted in other / No Comments

Had a chance to take part in an intensive 3-day training seminar at Sony Pictures through Local 600. Lots of hands on, examples, and experimentations. I’ve been to many, many training seminar in the past either at NAB or CineGear or what have you but this might just be the first seminar I’ve ever been to where I felt I got something useful out of it. I’ve been re-reading stereographic publications and it all makes sense to me know. Last step, need a shoot to really put what I’ve learned through its paces. Any takers?

A million thanks to the folks at Sony, Local 600 and the students from Hollywood Cinema Production Resources and USC.
