Austin Simply Fit At a Glance

/

Here is a recent landing page video that I filmed and edited for the website of the awesome folks at Austin Simply Fit. Unlike other fitness training programs, Austin Simply Fit provides 30 minute, 1-on-1 or semi-private training sessions which are truly personal, and tailor-made to fit your goals.

This project was a blast and I enjoyed the quality of effort that each athlete, trainer, and client put into this experience. 

Art is Cool E.A.S.T. Stop #141 (VIDEO) East Austin Studio Tour 2016

/ Dedrick Hamilton House/

      I filmed this one take shot last night at the Art is Cool art exhibit in Austin, TX with my Galaxy Note 4 smart phone and the powerful DJI Osmo. This art exhibit was the 141th of over 500 art exhibits showcasing local art at the Annual Big Medium's East Austin Studio Tour (East).

Art is Cool put together a collection of visual works representing pop culture, the deep south, stereotypes, lived experiences, & self-reflexivity.

I was having a conversation with a couple at the Art is Cool exhibit and asked if they would be interested in creating a spontaneous video of them walking around the exhibit looking at the various pieces of art on display.  I enjoy spontaneous video/photo shoots and as I followed the two around the exhibit, I was enthralled with that child like feeling of painting on a blank canvas that first time with water colors or riding a bike in a cool breeze after a long sweltering summer day in Texas.

I love the spontaneity that the DJI Osmo provides for those spontaneous shots in the moment while getting a smooth cinematic shot similar to those you find in higher end equipment and I am excited to see the shots I will get out of this device in the near future.

My Wedding Reel

/

"Weddings are important because they celebrate life and possibility."-Anne Hathaway

     Filming weddings has made me a greater artist in ways I never would have imagined.  Second chances are rare on wedding days and this limitation has transformed my creative eye and has trained me to notice the smallest details to capture in a short amount of time.

I have seen this skill of visual awareness transfer to the other less demanding projects I have been fortunate to be apart of and I am highly grateful to have been thrown inside the fire of wedding film making. Creating wedding films has made me into a more composed and aware artist that handles the demands of a long production day with much more ease and grace.

Here is a wedding reel I put together from some of my favorite wedding day footage.
 

Camping + Filmmaking=Cinematic Greatness

/ Mountain Breeze Camp/

     In May for my birthday weekend, I had the opportunity to go camping at the Mountain Breeze Camp Ground in New Braunfels.  I enjoy nature and every time I go on a trip for multiple days I always feel the need to unplug and turn off my cell phone.  I captured all of this footage at 60fps and decided to turn this into a cinematic slow motion montage of the images I captured during the trip.

Smartphone Filmmaking in Ghana

/

     In October 2015 I had the opportunity to travel to Ghana on a healing and cultural retreat and be the lead photographer/filmmaker of the trip.

Leaving my larger camera equipment behind, I wanted to challenge myself and capture all of the images and video with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smart phone and stretch this technology to it's limits.

What I learned was that the image, story, and vibe are most important in the creative process and that I can create great looking images with any camera and not to get so wrapped up in the thought process of having the "right" gear.
