I can’t call this the first shoot here at the new studio (we did a green-screen shoot with a DC artist for a project a couple days before), but it is Erica’s inaugural green-screen, praise-and-worship recording for online church services. We have recorded them at […]

Spent a little time with my Blackmagic Pocket 4K Camera and a Canon 100mm Macro lens capturing insects nearby. Nothing special. Just messing around. However, this was all done handheld with a camera that has no internal stabilizer. Sometimes I have to just get out […]

This was the documentary that made me think, I could really do “this.” Armed with my DVX-100, the first 24p prosumer DV camera, I spent several months documenting the world of the burgeoning artist, Christon “Christylez” Bacon. It was the start of collaborative relationship that […]

I enjoyed working with this immensely talented trio of musicians in creating a promotional video, featuring interviews we filmed and intertwining past performances. Michelle Lundy (harpist), Carole Bean (flutist) and Ruth Wicker (violist) needed a promotional video to send to potential venues so we helped […]

It was November 2012 and I just arrived back at the studio on Illinois Ave from a meeting with a local PBS station about developing my web series, The Angle for the station with the goal of getting syndication nationally. Erica joined me at the meeting and […]

I play outdoor basketball everyday the whether seems reasonable. That means anything above 48° F with enough sun radiating to warm any exposed skin. Basketball really is life in my world. I purchased a new gimbal for my camera (DJI Ronin RS 2) and wanted […]

I’m definitely not a reel person. It took me many years to even consider creating this. The idea of putting things I’ve done into a smaller is just so hard to do. We’ll do one for 2021 but hire someone else to do it. I […]

I’ve been working on a concept for a new web-based series over the past couple years, usually writing and collecting quirky stories, awkward situations and random sets of dialogue. I did all this with hopes that I’d gather a group of talented and dedicated actors […]
