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?
Shot on the 7D, with a 35mm 1.4 L lens. Edited in FCP, colored in Magic Bullet
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
