“What is the Gospel?” for Redemption Bible Church

We came upon this location by accident. We were having lunch at a local tavern and saw that it had a special party room that wasn’t being used. The owner kindly allowed us to shoot there. You will notice real tavern employees working in the background. A beam of sunlight from the roof window became my key light—I used a reflector to direct the light into the subject’s face. An iPad was used as a teleprompter. This was also the first time I encountered the dreaded red thermometer. The closing shots featuring Palatine village were recycled from a previous video the church made. Music by The Antlers.

Short Film: Superhero

My first attempt at making a short. I used a Canon T1i with the IS 18-55 kit lens. We went to a local Goodwill thrift store on a busy Sunday afternoon. People were laid back and mostly didn’t even notice us. No lighting equipment. Just me and a tripod. Without a steadicam, I tried my best to use the tripod as a counter-weight while strafing the aisles. Editing software: iMovie HD. Music: ‘Hard to Be’ by David Bazan

Wedding Highlights: Mallory and James

I shot at various locations around Shelbyville and Bell Buckle, Tennessee. My wife was the matron-of-honor and so naturally I was near most of the wedding preparation action. Music: “L.O.V.E.” by Nat King Cole and “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz
