Day 3 of our doc shoot on technology’s impact on man. So far we’ve interviewed one of internet’s three inventors, the real life Ironman, and an author/technologist who specializes in human centered technology.

On set a shooting an incredible documentary with new friends and old collaborators. This location was pretty special. Used for hundreds of shows and films for its middle eastern set even though it’s only about an hour outside of downtown Los Angeles.

American skies.

225 years ago, our ancestors fought and gave their lives to establish a different sort of country than had come before it. It turned out to be highly imperfect and there have been lots of horrors that needed rectifying (and still need rectifying). But its problems don’t negate its greatness. This country still remains an anomaly in world history—it was built on a system of laws with checks and balances that would (the founders hoped) bring stability and protection for those in the minority from the tyranny of the majority. We have yet to see how it will all play out, but we feel blessed to be able to work and build and grow in this country. And we’re privileged to do those things alongside all of you. Something we often say at Distant Moon is . We’re working to try to help in whatever ways we can to make our country a little better each day. Thankful to be in that journey with you all. Happy Fourth of July.

When we shot this project for , there were some serious nostalgia vibes for director . Cue flashbacks to his childhood going to the local skate plaza in Coeur d’Alene Idaho every Tuesday for homeschool skate day. So he had a blast recreating old skate rink vibes for this retro music video. Anytime he thinks about skate rinks, smells of saccharine sweet haze, disco lights, the chicken dance, and strawberry slushies come to mind.

What’s one of your favorite childhood memories that brings back all the nostalgia? Answer below 👇🏻

Throwback to one of our favorite music videos. Shot for James TW, this video juxtaposed a boy going through the breakup/divorce of his parents and James TW singing in the wreckage of the home. This one had an absolutely incredible team, but the MVP was the art department, who transformed the fresh and clean house into a moldy, aged, falling-apart house. Wallpaper is falling off the walls. Dust coats everything in sight. Curtains are tattered. Dishes fill the sink of the abandoned kitchen. Just an absolute joy to capture and create art in this sort of beautifully production-designed environment.

Like most of our documentary production, we frame shots with two goals in mind: Create a striking image, and capture the emotion of the scene. For this scene, we wanted to portray both the loneliness of this family who is trapped in horrible public schools with no opportunity to escape the quota system for higher quality education AND that in spite of their challenges, they’re upbeat, loving, creative, and making the best of their situation. So when we saw one of their daughters sitting in her room, playing with stuffed animals, we knew we had to capture that. That sense of innocence and living in her creative imagination, combined with the stark loneliness of setting her in contrast to the bright window at the end of a dark hallway, encapsulated this family’s entire story in one shot.

Stills from inside the J. Edgar Hoover building training rooms. This is where real FBI agents take classes as a part of their ongoing education. Shooting in real-world locations like this, our first step in lighting is to turn off all lights, and begin with creating contrast, which usually means turning on one diffused source on the far side of the room, shooting towards where the camera is going to be. This creates a separation of the talent from the background. Then we start filling in from there. To bring out the texture on the wall behind talent, we scraped a harder non-diffused light with a ds1 across the wood paneling to bring its texture out.
