One of my latest Editorial Projects was this Documentary / Promotional piece for the POP Asheville Music Festival that is to be showcased at SXSW Music and Film festival in Austin, Texas. This project was produced by Studio South for The Creative Commerce Commission of Advantage West.
This is a project that I produced back in 2002 in partnership with Tammy Hopkins of THop Productions.
It’s an oral history documentary of three appalachian women in their 80′s sharing their stories of growing up in the rural regions of the Appalachian mountains. The film takes a glimpse into their lives as they share their memories of growing up not only as mountain women, but also as Cherokee, Scots-Irish and African-American women.
Worked a few days as the editor on a music video for The Arlenes. Follows the story of a lost and of course, lonely girl wandering the streets. Produced by Craig Hines. Directed by Paul Schattel.
So, the question is “What is the audiences’ reaction when they except something to happen but nothing does?” That was part of the task for one of my latest projects. In association with Ellen Pfirrmann of Eljapa Media Group, we created several video elements for Lynoir-Rhyne University using nothing but a chair as our central character.
It’s about 3 minutes in length so check it out and email me what you think. Remember, it’s really about how you react, not what’s on screen. (I do like the composition of the shots though.)
Randomocity, the micro-budget film that I DP’ed back in 2006 is making the rounds at various festival and just picked up it’s first award at the Heart of England International Film Festival in London, UK
Country Remedy, (Formerly known as “Mountain Time”, “Windows of Childhood” and most recently “Simple Things”) has been released around the country on DVD. You can find it pretty much any where including Blockbuster and Hollywood video. This is a film that I acted as Assistant Editor on during production in 2005.
Just finished shooting a promotional video for Harley Davidson in South Carolina. Nothing like spending a long weekend at the beach working and never getting the chance to check out the ocean.
Just recently completed this promo video for publisher Simon and Schuster. Author Mary Alice Monroe’s new book “Time is a River” will be released in July ’08 and this video is designed to promote that release.
Just returned from LA after shooting for almost 2 weeks up and down the west coast. Had a great time and I am extremely happy with the way the video looks. This years video had Ryan Sheckler from MTV’s “Life of Ryan” who is also ranked the number one street skater in the world. The inspiration for the visuals this year was the idea of the warm California sun and lifestyle. I defiantly think we were successful.
