Shot a couple photos for his new site/business card and all that jazz. Here they are! I’ll link the site and stuff when it’s up.

My great friend Justin from Everlea and I have been working on a series of acoustic videos that will get released one by one. Here is the first one we’ve done. It is a nice simple cover of Smashing Pumpkins song “Sweet Sweet”

Behind the scenes footage from one part of yesterday’s shoot. Don’t trip out!

My photo next to my friend’s shower. I just liked how it looked in this light.

Starting in November I’ll be posting photos that didn’t quite make it to Mountains but for now, here is the cover and a video that explains a bit of who Leonard is.

When filming/editing a lot of stuff has to get cut. Sometimes it is hard because you like something for an odd reason and want to cling to it but for the sake of the final piece, it ought to go. Here are three shots from filming the Cigarettes video for Everlea that had to get cut.

Cut#1 – This was probably one of my favorite random shots from the filming. We were waiting for it to get a bit darker to bust out the sparklers and I was too in love with filming things in sixty frames per second. Meagan is such a cute little girl and the wind blowing in her hair gave it a real Sigur Ros-esque moment.

Cut #2 – We changed the story type thing in the video and this was one of the shots that had to go. Actually it may have been one of the reasons it had to get cut, we filmed this quickly one day and didn’t notice the black stuff from the lens attachment at the bottom. Oh well. It was pretty chill to just sit eating ice cream with Jesse while the camera was rolling for however long it would take. The shot is sped up 2401%

Cut #3 – After watching it will be quite clear why this was a tough one to get rid of. This shot gave the giant head that my friend Sylvia and constructed a whole bunch of personality and made it less creepy. I showed Steph Bye (wearer of the get up) the Fat Boy Slim video of Christopher Walken dancing around the hotel and she busted this out.  Sadly, it fit no where in the video.
