nobody ever says anything.

My stunt crew and I worked on a short film with Stu Maschwitz, founder of The Orphanage.  He was doing a test on the new Canon DSLR, the EOS 5d Mark 2 and its ability to record video.

I was the one-man crew and one of the choreographers for the scene.

I loved Stu Maschwitz book and I loved loved this short.

I can't wait for your film it looks very professional from the stills.

stu is as great a guy to work with as any I've met.  he's extremely humble and actually lets us determine the pace of the shoot.  he understands the hong kong style of shooting in pieces and choreographing on the spot and really asks for nothing except for additional shots and inserts.  I pushed the crew to top bourne style choreography, but we didn't have too much time so we kept it more simple.  My stunt crew is very very austere about hits connecting, moreso than most stunt coordinators, and the trade off for the austerity sometimes is the simplification of choreography, especially when pressed for time and fighting for daylight.  Stu is very good at inserting shots to keep the action moving.  I've been hitting him up for advice on my film and stuff since then, and he's been invaluable.  He knows everything about everything and makes amazing films.  It's too bad his studio closed down, it's a sin.

my stunt group made this.  I really wasn't a part of it.  but I thought it was really funny and the fight was really good.  I wonder if anyone else thinks it's really funny.

You copied that from that one part in Boogie Nights when Eddie says working at the car wash is ok!

this is a new project i'm working on...shooting performers doing sets in their bedrooms.  i know there are a few blogs that are putting out amazing and staggering work so i'm also still figuring out how to contribute to this landscape.

anyways, here's the first gal.  she's dropping an album soon here in san francisco, so if you like her, please help me pimp the video, it'll make a little bit of a difference on her livelihood.  thanks.

WWPTAD?

I used some magicbullet plug-ins in FCP.
