This is the story (without a title) about a girl who's hair has a mind of it's own. It swipes bagels off her plate, houses birds, and throws her classmates' projects off the roof of a very tall building. Among other strange things. In other words, this is a really creative BYU Capstone film directed by Chloe Huber, and shot by Paul Meyers. I was the 1st AC and about pulled my own hair out with some of the focus pulls thrown my way. But it all worked out and looks pretty sweet. :) The best part though, was the privilege of bossing the 2nd AC Gary around for two weekends, who normally gets to boss me around every day at work haha. :) The worst part was when the beloved RedOne decided to up and die on our last day of shooting. Thanks a lot Red, thanks. One firmware update later and we were (for the most part) up and running again. I can't wait for the Epic... is it April yet?? Anyways, photos below. Canon T2i, 28-135mm, the usual :) P.S. There's an article about BYU Film in the January 2011 issue of ICG Magazine... rad!
The Bike video I did with Devin Graham, Jace LeRoy, and Josh Contor reached a million hits yesterday! :D It was also posted on Entertainment Weekly's website and as of right now it's sitting at 1,022,330 views. This is especially cool because the video reached 700,000 hits within the first two weeks of being online but then totally tapered off for the next few months. Devin has been consistently putting out some awesome videos (go watch and subscribe if you haven't already) which have also been going viral and he wrote a really interesting blog post about the statistics of how when one video gets attention all the other videos on the same channel benefit from it as well and it's exactly this reason why we are finally reaching a million now.
In case you haven't seen it.... click below. As Devin would say, make it full screen, turn the volume up, and watch it in HD! :)
