Another Rant from Mike Gleason (with some support from Ashe)

Sharp TV shoot

This is something that I had never done before... create a horizon. I was very happy with the results.

I will post the finished video when it becomes available.

Mike Gleason... the rant continues

When discussing this commercial shoot, we thought that we would raise the model up to frame the lower half of her body and follow her as she walked (we didn't have the "low-mode" attachment for the MovieTech dolly). But in the studio, to save time, we flipped the camera on the dolly to get the lower angle desired.

I am sure this has been done before but I had never seen this particular configuration. I just thought it was cool.

A big "thanks" to B.A. for showing me how to flip the monitor for proper viewing!

Old School!

Dave Perillo posted these on his site recently (http://montygog.blogspot.com/) and I thought it was brilliant... "I decided to spoof the old Hanna Barbera title cards you'd see right before a episode would start. I figured if the Beatles had a cartoon why couldn't the Ramones. They could drive around and solve mysteries and argue with each other, they'd even have a scrappy alley cat sidekick named Bonzo. I'm also working on a version featuring the Sex Pistols..."

2008 DP Reel - rough

I have recently been working on my DP (Director of Photography) reel. It has been a long edit process, so I am happy to be at the point that I want to post the reel and get some feedback. Please, feel free to post comments. This is a rough - so please keep the comments constructive.

In advance, thanks for your time and insight.
