Bellarive!

Wednesday night, my friend Sean had asked me to come shoot some video of his band Bellarive. They were leading worship for a student ministry at our church called The Element. They were having their meeting on the roof of a parking garage in downtown Orlando, overlooking the downtown skyline. Pretty sweet.
We were only able to run through the song 2 and a half times, so I had to really work to get B-Roll to cut between.
But all in all, I feel really good about it.

What do you think?

Onward to Olympas Album and Video Released

So last month I DP’d a video, directed by Drew Russ, for Onward to Olympas of Facedown Records.

It’s finally done, and in the meantime right here in all it’s youtube glory.

The performance was shot with natural light and bounce on the 7D, while the underwater footage was shot with an HVX200.

All in all, I think this turned out great, and everyone is stoked on it.

I love the work I get to do.

(PS: You can see the BTS stills in a previous post Here.)

My life as of late

Last weekend was an incredibly busy one.
Saturday night I worked with Dustin Miller and Eric Hires of Flesh Profits Nothing on To Write On Her Arm’s – HEAVY AND LIGHT.
Dustin did a bang up job of the Encore edit and it’s currently featured at Spin.com.
Check out this spread!

You can also view the whole video right here.

It was shot on a few HVX’s and a couple 7D’s and it was a blast.

I made it home at about 2am, and did some editing then had to go meet up at 5am at Disney to shoot some B-Roll for the Disney Marathon. I won’t be able to post any of that work, but know that it was freezing, and a great time was had. Made it home from that at about 2pm, with absolutely no sleep.

I managed to take this little number to really make you feel terrible for how cold and tired I was.

Totally worth it.

A Day To Remember – “Right Where You Want Me To Be”

So here is the video from earlier in December. Directed/Edited/Colored by Drew Russ, and I lit and shot it on the 7D with some primes from Jonpaul Douglass.

While we’re at it, here are a few of the BTS stills shot by Kyle Looney.

Here are some Behind the Scenes shots from Michelle Soden on the Onward To Olympas shoot. You can view all of the stills here.

We shot on the American Victory, thanks to the help of Cindy Bosslemann. We used the 7D and a few primes rented for The Lens Depot. It worked perfectly and I’m stoked to see the final video, being edited by the man himself. Drew Russ.

Onward To Olympas

The past two days were spent shooting a video for Onward to Olympas‘ new record releasing in January / Directed by Drew Russ.

Day one was mostly concept stuff in Rainbow River near Ocala.
and day two we shot the performance stuff on the American Victory in Tampa. The underwater stuff was on the HVX and the performance stuff was the 7D. I love that camera so much.

Here are a couple cell phone shots from the day. We’ll get the for real BTS stills by Michelle Soden and the video posted asap.

Just playin’

So my girlfriend graduated this weekend and I took the opportunity to play with the 7D that I had rented for some music video stuff later in the week.

What do you think?

TONYY!!

So here’s another of the foodie segments I did a few months ago with Tony Adams of Big Wheel Provisions. Keep an eye on this guy.

He’s taking over!


Prints?

Ok, some people actually seemed to want prints. So here is what we are looking at.

I would prefer that you email me at michael@dreameryfilms.com to keep this personal, and we’ll discuss what you are looking for.

To print (good) in Orlando, a 5×7 is around 2.50 with tax and an 8×10 is about 5.15 with tax.
I will mail these to friends, not strangers, but email me and we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I hope I’m not getting in over my head here, but we’ll take this slow and see what happens.

Alright, here’s what you’ve got to choose from. But if you’ve seen something prior you are more stoked on, or there is a picture of you, that you want. Then let me know.
