"The Money Shot" Porn Mockumentary - Production starting

October and November are busy months for me. I have been working on so many films that I pretty much can't fit any more into my schedule with school and swimming being in full swing.

Today I was hired on as Cinematographer for a new film called "The Money Shot" directed by Cindy Tang. It's a mockumentary about a film student who is trying to finance his feature by making a porno. The script is really good and we have a great cast working on this film. Shooting should begin the first or second week of November.

So as of now I have a few films that are slated for this next month.
"The Money Shot" - 3 days of shooting
"The Good Stuff" - One more day of shooting
"Ragnarok" - Finish Voiceovers and ADR
"The Moral Life" - 1 day of rehearsal, 2 days of shooting

There are a few other films that I would like to be working on however with my schedule I am not able to help out on those films.

"The Good Stuff" - 90% shot

It was two decent days of filming. We shot almost the entire film. The only scenes we have left are the final and a few inserts when the main character is job hunting. Overall the shoot went well. We had a great cast and we moved fast because we were able to get a good deal of the shots in one take. Keep checking back for a trailer.

The Good Stuff - Production Started

I am currently working on another project called "The Good Stuff." It's a comedy about a man who gets fired from his job of stuffing envelopes. He goes on a quest to figure out a new career rout however his only interest is in stuffing things. I am working as Director of Photography on this project. We are shooting today and tomorrow with one more day next week. If everything goes right I think this will be a very funny piece.

My project "The Moral Life" will be going into production soon. The script is almost finished and I have almost entirely casted the film.

The Moral Life - Pre Production Started

I am shooting a film for my Nietzsche class which is currently untitled however will most likely be called "The Moral Life."

The film follows one person who finds death after a very intense attack. This person must cope with the voice in her head telling her to forget bout what she finds and come back to the life where a veil is pulled over our eyes. Death on the other hand is lifting this veil and showing a world that is unimaginable to those locked in our worlds current state.

It is a very philosophical film however I think everyone will be able to find something to take from it.

As of now Colin Hoffmeister has expressed interest in playing my Death and Katie Kane possibly doing my makeup.

Ragnarok - Principle Photography finished!!!!

We finished shooting the short "Ragnarok."


Production was very fun. 2 days in the palm springs desert with the sun beating down on the crew. It was around 102 degrees. We had an outlaw being chased by a bounty hunter and a duel at high noon. Katie Kane our makeup artist was running around putting bullet wounds on our actors...and crew. 2 amazing actors! We couldnt ask for better. We had plenty of beer and pool time after the shoot was finished. Basically it did not seem like work for anyone on set. Everyone was lovin it and having tons of fun. Everyone was sad to leave and finish which is something I rarely see on set. Everyone wanted to keep shooting. I can see more films in the future with this crew.

I have just finished the 2nd music video for the Temper Twins. This is the video for the song "We Temper Twins." I think it came out pretty good. I can't post it yet because the album has not been released yet however keep checking back and I will post it as soon as I can.

The video for "Depeche Bowie" is still being edited. The first cut was shown to sunspot and he really liked it. I just need to finish filming the last bit of the story line and then put the final touches in the editing room.
