I’m dipping into my vaults today. Here’s a video I made in November 2017, for the Times Argus and Rutland Herald newspapers. It details a visit by a group of cartoonists from North Africa and the Near East to the Montpelier studio of cartoonist Tim Newcomb. I can’t believe this was just a year and Read more about Dave’s blog: Rage, humor are universal[…]
I made this video for a company advertising a job I’m interested in. They requested applicants make a video for them, and to be creative. I wasn’t sure I was going to bother, then this popped into my head. A nice way to spend a frigid morning. Enjoy!
I’ve been strategizing with a group of musicians to create some videos to accompany their compositions. It’s a super-fun opportunity to get really creative and stretch my boundaries a bit. The video above, “Gene Bleu” is more of an experiment than something any of us would call representative of our work, but I like both Read more about Dave’s blog: Playing with toys[…]
For any photographer or videographer, the anticipation of a new camera is like thinking about presents under the tree. The new tech’s going to be amazing. It will solve all the problems you have and open up a whole new world of creative possibilities. The camera will perform flawlessly, responding to your every whim, and Read more about Dave’s blog: That’s why you’re called Mad Camera[…]
The owners and businesses at Camp Meade in Middlesex did a fantastic job creating and publicizing a super-fun event a few days before New Year’s. There were art installations, an impressive bonfire and the world’s biggest s’more (I can’t confirm). I shot this after the crowds had gone home. I live in the village part Read more about Dave’s blog: The end of the s’more fest[…]
I had kind of a bad shoot a few weeks ago. Not an awful shoot, by any means. The equipment performed the way it was designed. I showed up on time with everything I needed. I was prepared and knew what was expected of me. The client was a gracious and enthusiastic person, and I Read more about Dave’s blog: Bad light/bad karma[…]
One market segment I’ll be working to attract for Capture is hospitality and rentals. I think video is a tremendous tool for helping renters and inn guests get a sense of what an inn or AirBnB space is like. Unfortunately, it looks like AirBnB doesn’t allow video, but there have got to to be other Read more about Dave’s blog: The soul of a building[…]
I just read a short article on why vertical video is on the upswing. This means, simply, video shot with a vertical cellphone or device is being taken more seriously by marketers, despite catty remarks from “serious” filmmakers. The article wasn’t exactly Sunday New York Times material, but it did make some very practical points. Read more about Dave’s blog: Upright or sideways[…]
I’m trying the vlogging thing again, folks.
I threw this video up on my YouTube channel a few weeks ago as an example of the kind of work I was doing at the Times Argus during the brief period when I was in charge of creating video for the paper. To my surprise, it’s picked up a few dozen views without any Read more about Dave’s blog: Circus without enough bread[…]
