"The Chess Game" Video

Hey everyone! This is a video that I filmed and edited last week for the sermon yesterday at First Baptist Church of Eugene. It's starring Jeff Weinkauf and Sandy Silverthorne. It was scripted and produced by Dave Weinkauf for his sermon. I did all the tech work.

Technical Details

Lighting: Shop lights with normal tungsten colored flood lamps for face light, and some day light florescent bulbs for highlights. This was kinda last minute, so we didn't get the best products for the job.

Cameras: I used two Sony PD-170 cameras

Audio: Detached each of the shotgun microphones and placed them just above the frame of the video. Each camera has it's own microphone going to the camera with the actors face.

Edited: Using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.

...all in a day's work! :-)

The Friskies Commercial

You know, this is just a special surprise I found looking around on one of my external hard drive. A video that I made back in 2004, in which I immediately converted into a format which I could upload to YouTube and Facebook. So, I have here for you, a special treat, one of my very first cinematography attempts using a little hand held video camcorder.



Starring: John Cave & Bryan Saxton
Directed by Will Foster

Also featuring my good friends: Josh Hutcheson, Lilie Chan, and Jenny Lund. Stunts were performed by Jonny Saxton.

The Hair Cut Video

This is a little video I made at Camp Harlow of me getting my hair trimmed. I actually did not use my video camera to film this, instead it is a series of photographs taken with my Nikon D200 and a SpeedLight behind a white shoot through umbrella. It turned out really good, and I have gotten a lot of praise on it so far.
