Smalltown Smalltown is almost a wrap! It's written and directed by Mark Fogarty, so it'll be sure to get your guts. Despite the disturbing subject matter, he's one of the coolest guys I've ever worked with. From the day I took over as DP, it's been nothing but a pleasure. We're shooting on the Red One MX, which is my favorite camera -- also nothing but a pleasure. Here are a couple frame grabs.

The Mike Fritz Band: She's a Woman With additional shooters Erik Angra and Amy Miller, I shot another incarnation of the Fritziamo. They brought some great rock and country tunes, some covers, some catchy originals, and a great time was had by all. This one's a cover of a tune by a "little-known" British pop band.

Chuck Palahniuk: With Scott from [sublux] on the HVX and me on the 7D, we shot Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club) for Grub Street's Muse and the Marketplace conference. Chuck gave a really interesting lecture that touched on writing and things like what not to do when eating cheese in France, and why you should be wary of dating a general contractor.

The Exquisite Corpse: Who is the alluring (and evil?) Aleistaire? And who is her lover? And what the heck is an Animacavea? You'll find questions in spades, to be sure, but also old ones answered in this spellbinding submission for Canon's Beyond the Still.
