More Words About Cities & Films

Ok, so I know I’ve been lacking on the updates, but here’s a music video I DP’d a few months back.  We shot on the RED and had minimal crew, but probably the biggest challenge was shooting at night with a child actor.  The kid himself was great and a pleasure to work with, but we shot several times after he’d had a long day at school and his energy would start slipping pretty fast.  This was only amplified by the fact that we were shooting in the Seattle during some of the longest days of the year.  When it doesn’t get dark until 9 or 10pm, it’s tough for a kid to keep up that energy the entire time.  Still, I’m really happy with the lighting in the film.  Blaine Ludy was the director and Mike Astle helped out with grip work on several occasions.  Enjoy!
