Pictures of You

This was a digital feature length film I was involved in that was filmed roughly over a four week period at the start of 2007. Being and independant production, the crew was very small and I carried the roles of Director of Photography, camera operator, gaffer, grip and whatever the hell else came under the camera/lighting department.

Shot entirely on a Panasonic DVX101 and using only three 1000w lights at most, this was certainly a slight challenge for me, especially considering it was the longest shoot I'd been on and my first real role as a DOP serving under another director. But the production was a lot of fun, a real learning curve for me and of course, I'd made a lot of friends on that shoot that I still keep in close contact with.

Production for it afterwards was rocky though, a lot of the audio recorded on site was deemed unusable and nearly the entire soundscape from ADR to foley were re-recorded in post and I've always found the results to be flawed. But in saying that, I still think fondly of this film and highly enjoyed the process of being a DOP so much so, I still happily whore myself out onto other productions when happy and available to.

Should you actually be interested in purchasing a copy of this film, I believe it's available through the good produers here.



Pictures of You Showreel

This was cut together about two weeks into principal photography by me to show to various media circles what we'd done so far. Music is an untitled piece composed and performed by my friend Celeste and appears only in this video and not in the film, but one day I'll use it for something else or even better, work together with her on a new project.

Screen caps taken from the original footage. Only a few have been slightly altered in the color/contrast, but on the whole, this is mostly unaltered raw footage.
