A few years back my friend Justin and I started a small production company called Blue Wagon Studios. We seek out compelling projects to get involved with. Summit Church contacted us with an idea for an upcoming campaign they call “summit connect.” We took their ideas and ours and made a fun sandwich sure to satisfy. It’s both compelling, and fun to watch.
Here are a few production stills from the shoot. I’ll post the completed video soon.
I love a good horror flick. From Sam Raimi’s ‘Evil Dead’ to George Romero’s ‘Night of the Living Dead’ to Ruben Fleischer’s ‘Zombieland’, it’s all just a good time. When I was asked to shoot Dm Pelley’s ultra-low budget ‘Super Death Kill’, I of course jumped at the chance. Every upcoming cinematographer has to have at least 1 horror flick under their belt, right? After some time trying to figure out where we were going to shoot this bloodfest, we settled on a UHAUL storage facility. It had everything we needed, a big room… and electricity. Not to mention the owners were so pumped that we were there that the director is putting them in the movie. Well we are day 5 of an 11 day shoot, and despite the 110 degree heat- we are having fun. It’s the little indie project that could! Below are some production stills. Enjoy!
For several weeks now I’ve been working on a documentary about coffee. (I’m jacked up on caffeine as we speak). The cool thing about this particular company is that they give a lot of their money away to IJM. Research this organization for yourself and get involved.
International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local officials to ensure immediate victim rescue and aftercare, to prosecute perpetrators and to promote functioning public justice systems.
My wife and I are having our first child, and we are super excited! After weeks of calling it an ‘IT’ we got the news today that we are having a little girl. I can’t tell you how excited I am. I couldn’t help but think about snuggling on the couch, or giving her her first photography lesson, or ballet lessons… the thoughts keep coming. Now we get to think of the perfect name for her… Oh wait! We already have, but my lips are sealed until she graces us with her presence sometime in September! What an awesome day!!
I just turned 30 and it seems appropriate to start having children. After 3 years of trying, (and watching our fertile friends have multiple children) we have finally joined the club! We are SO EXCITED! So much to do and so little time…. (I better get to work!)
What more can I say… Other then I’m looking forward to what’s ahead!! It’s going to be a great year!
My wife made an amazing Thai dinner, and followed it up with a scrumptious coconut cake. (and yes, that’s a 12 yr old bottle of Johnnie Walker courtesy of my friends J/B)
Last week I worked on a commercial where the spokesmen were 3 bobble heads. It got me thinking how cool it would be to have a bobble head version of me… So of course I googled it, and I came across a company called YouBobble. It costs around hundred bucks. Upload a photo of yourself, provide a little feedback with your artist, and voila you have your very own bobble YOU! (I’ll let you know how mine turns out!)
