He Buries My Mistakes - TCF201 Short Film... Finished!
I'm taking TCF201 (Intro to Video Production) this semester. For our final projects, we were split up into teams, assigned roles, and left to our own devices to produce a finished film. The screening for our films was yesterday and I was impressed with the films the other teams produced. They honestly weren't nearly as bad as I expected.
I ended up Director of Photography on William Mason's He Buries My Mistakes. I shot with 2 Canon Rebel T2i cameras using the 18-55mm kit lens along with a 24mm and a sweet 50mm.

I ended up editing the film, as well, after we had some issues with the cut that our assigned editor delivered.
Here's the film we ended up with in the end. It's the story of a father and son who experience a life altering and unexpected event during a long drive at night.

He Buries My Mistakes - TCF Short Film in Progress
Last Saturday, I acted as Director of Photography on a shoot for the short film He Buries My Mistakes with Director William Mason. This film is our final project for our TCF201 class. It was a long, hard day but the actors were great to work with and they never complained once. I'd be happy to work with any of them again.
Check out these stills from the raw footage.

The "I Haven't Blogged Anything in Months" Update
Directed/Shot/Edited a series of instructional videos for the weight room at the UA Aquatic Center and built an interactive map graphic that shows the location of each machine:

And I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention a lot of things but that's about all I've got time for today...
BACK TO WORK!

Record Breaking Alabama Heat Wave - A.K.A. IT'S TOO FREAKING HOT!!!!
We're stuck in a record breaking heat wave here in Alabama. The heat index in Tuscaloosa today was 104 and the high was a smothering 101 with humidity that you could hack through with a machete. The forecast is showing at least another few days of this wretched, oppressive heat. Our air conditioning has been kicking hard for the last couple of days but it can barely keep up with this kind of onslaught.
In case I haven't made it clear, I'm not a fan of obscenely hot weather. Hey, look at southern California! It's only 72 degrees right now...

The Known Universe by the American Museum of Natural History
This is an astounding rendering of the entirety of the known universe. It really gives you a sense of perspective. Our planet is just one infinitesimally tiny spec of dust in relation to the rest of the cosmos. The span of one human life, even the amount of time that life has existed on this planet, is nothing in relation to the billions of years that have come before us. The expanse of space that we haven't yet even begun to observe and explore is staggering in its own right.
I've been waiting for visualizations based on scientific data like this since I was a just a kid. I've got to start hanging out with more scientists...
