  Fixing Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens

  April 15, 2012 / How-To

  I haven’t had much reason to do any how-to articles since I consider myself a student rather than a teacher in video/photo. HOWEVER, after knowing several people (3 personally, many others from online reviews) who have had the focus ring stop working on them on the Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens (and most recently a hobbyist friend who basically gave up photography because she sent it into Canon after the focus ring broke and it was returned without a fix), I [...]

  Music Video: No Captains – Pawn; Departure from Magic Bullet Looks

  March 23, 2012 / Music Videos

  I directed/shot/edited this video with Alex from No Captains; no crew, just us two. It was fun and stealthy, I brought a minimal kit and we managed to get some nice looking footage. One noteworthy part of this project is this is the first video where I’ve departed from using Magic Bullet Looks (MBL) as my color grading tool. I didn’t know anything about color correction or grading when I first started video editing in 2011. MBL was a great [...]

  My first photo assignment – San Francisco

  March 18, 2012 / photography

  I find photography extremely intimidating. I’ve always loved photos and the idea of photography but it’s been one of those things I’ve hesitated for years on seriously trying because I didn’t feel I had the ‘eye’ for it. Several years ago before higher megapixel cameras were available on smart phones I bought my first point and shoot but never could get photos to look good (if you search on flickr groups for point and shoot camera groups, there are some [...]

  I was invited by my friend Jason Mongue (a talented director/filmmaker) to come out and shoot at 1015 Folsom, one of SF’s well known dance clubs for Phutureprimitive (a music producer/dj) as he was getting footage for a larger video portrait he’s putting together.

  Locura – Press Video

  December 7, 2011 / Commercial/Business, Films

  I teamed up with Locura, a Spanish/Latin band from San Francisco to create a press video for their upcoming CD release as well as for general promotion. We covered a couple of live events as well as did some interviews so people can get to know the band better. A lot of hard work on everyone’s part but it was really fun to see the results!
