- Planet4 music video shoot from last weekend. It's sadly the only picture I have... I always get caught up and forget to take any.

Meetings, Music Video and Manhattan

I've been busy having handfuls of meetings with various producers and directors all across the city. Lots of interesting projects that people are developing and prepping. I hope some of them come to fruitition. These days meetings seem to be a larger part of what I do - If i'm not shooting or at home I'm in a meeting.

I'm shooting a music video this upcoming Sunday 22nd for a band called Planet 4 out of Mississauga. I'm shooting on an HVX200 720P. It should be pretty neat - one of the locations is a junk yard and we get to crush some cars. Should be really cool at 60fps. The video is being directed by Brandon Christensen who I'm working with for the first time.

The week after next I head off to New York City for 2 days to hang out. Excited to be back in a place I love so much. Hope to check out some more sites and visit some camera shops while I'm there.

Chris Doyle and YouTube

Found this great segment featuring cinematographer Chris Doyle (In The Mood For Love, Chungking Express, Heroes) talking about his process.

Redrock Mattebox

Redrock is introducing a new mattebox, tentatively at the end of summer, that will feature a host of features normally reserved for much higher end/expensive products.

Looking at the prototype photos and reading the features it seems to be a mix of the Chrosziel and Petroff designs and function. I read that the target price will be $500 US which will come standard with 3-stages, french flag, swing away bracket and rod adapter. At this price it should be quite attractive.
