Been doing some gaffing work on a feature, with some good people, out in the woods. More to come.

What you can’t see in this frame from Somewhere Confidential is that Shakes is wearing a kilt. Love this frame and character. Nice to have such an amazing location to shoot in. Thanks Raven’s Manor!

Dropping a few of my favorite stills from Somewhere Confidential over the next couple weeks.

In light of the first awards Somewhere Confidential is receiving, here are just a few frames I am proud of.

First ‘best cinematography’ award for my first feature film.

The awards are starting to roll in for Somewhere Confidential. Including some for ‘best feature’. I’m very proud of the work everyone did on this fun project.

My dedicated crew had my back on this one, thank you all. Thanks to Casey Siegel and James Tristan Moore who asked me to shoot this hilarious film.

We had such amazing performances by Eric Nepom and the rest of the cast who is also collecting awards.

Another specialty I now offer is this advanced 4 axis stabilization system called the Tilta Float. It’s custom modified for best results and can fit cameras such as RED Komodo, Blackmagic Pocket/Cinema 6K cameras, Sony FX6 and others. This system can do more than a regular Steadicam and will make dynamic moves in almost any direction. This enabled me to create a one take shot for a feature film that was over three minutes in just 7 takes.

One of my specialty skills is motion control camera operating. I had the opportunity to operate on The Highest of Stakes feature documentary recently. The production value for this documentary was amazing which brought me a lot of inspiration as I designed shots for the story of a cryptocurrency founder and his followers. Here I’m shooting a set of a basement built in a local studio space.

Guthrie has been waiting here for months, rain or shine, for the Somewhere Confidential premiere. He promises to finally change his underwear on May 4th.
