Napalm, Erruption "In San Francisco" - Offical Music Video

I have a great idea lets go to Church and Dolores at 7am, start doing doughnuts in the street and see if the police take 5 or 10 minutes to show up! All most had my camera confiscated = Awesome ;-)

Finding The Right Camera: Con't ... Finally

Last post I talked at length about using the Grass Valley Infinity, which we were going to be using inside San Quentin prison. But production is a fluid thing, and the model we got for the shoot went down the first weekend we had it. There was a problem with the line level inputs on the camera, which needed to be handled at the factory. Grass Valley was great once I alerted them to the issue, but I needed another camera that day so I picked up a HPX2000 from VMI and kept that for the rest of the shoot. The panasonic handled everything beautifully and it became our go to camera for those long days walking around the prison. The HPX turned out to be a better fit for our production; even though it is a lower resolution camera than the Infinity, I found the greater dynamic range and highlight handling, coupled with the P2 workflow, which is so seemless in FCP to be the deciding factors. In a studio I may have come to a different choice, but hey San Quentin is far from a studio.

Emmy Nominated :-) Commercial

Last month I filmed a series of head shots to lead in to and out of the news promos for KPIX the local CBS affiliate in town. Everything went really well, so they brought me back to film a straight promo spot for Roberta Gonzales and their high-def doppler weather radar. We shot for two days on a Red in 2k, which we rented from Chater Camera. Rob Genolio directed

*Edit*
I received a Local Emmy nomination for my cinematography on this spot!! :-)
