Last week I rented the Canon 65mm MP-E Lens from The Lens Depot here in Orlando.
I only really got to play with it for about an hour, but here is what that hour produced.
The tiny world is kind of fascinating, and gross all at once.
So this weekend I traveled up to the great state of South Carolina to shoot a video for Blood and Ink band, and long time dearest bros Divide The Sea .
Here’s a sample of what you can expect.
With more of those here, from JoAnna Webb.
Aaron Moller, let us borrow some lights for the performance footage, and also shot a little BTS video. What a guy!
This video should be the sweetest, and may or may not be finished so soon.
I’ll keep you posted.
Be sure to check those dudes out if you are into metal.
In February I volunteered some time to shoot a promo video for Project Homeless Connect .
I approached Mancel Lindsey and asked if he would be interested in doing some motion graphics for the it, and he jumped at it.
Said and done, I’m not sure I could be happier with how this video turned out.
Shot on the 7D, Edited and colored in FCP.
I don’t know Mancel’s specs. As far as I know it was all magic.
Working on a few things that I should be able to get out there to you soon. Might try a few things I haven’t before, which could be really exciting and great, or bad.
I’ve been writing more than ever. It just doesn’t seem write to post that stuff here, I need to find an outlet for those things. Or learn to play guitar, and make songs. That I can put on cassette tapes and sell on street corners.
Most importantly, I sold my HVX200 tonight to a gentlemen from craigslist in a Hooters in Lakeland,FL.
I’m going to live the DSLR life now. Exciting!

Dear HVX,
You allowed me to see and experience things I would not have without you.
You allowed me to show those things to the world.
I knew every inch of you.
Literally cried into you on multiple occasions. So that I had to flip you over and clean the viewfinder out.
We saw sunrises and sunsets on multiple continents, countries and timezones.
I’m thankful for the time we had together.
May you fill your new owner with the same pride.
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?

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.
