Foxhole – Movie

Mike — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:01:48 +0000

Last week we shot 4 intense days for our next film, Foxhole. J-ROB Productions has produced and directed the film. We’ve Co-Produced, DP, Visual FXs and editing.

We’ve already completed the first editing session and have made lots of progress. We’re aiming to have the film completed by the end of January 2010.

Doritos Commercial – “Don’t Ever Run Out”

Mike — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:33:52 +0000

Today I worked with Billy at Soundbytes. I shot and edited their Doritos commercial for the Superbowl this year. The story line was pretty funny and the actors fit fairly well.

We took about 4.5 hours to shoot. I was DP and visual/fx supervisor. I had to set up several scenes for some animation later on in post. We also used a green screen during one scene.

We are not allowed to post the commercial until after the superbowl, but you can view the commercial here on Doritos’ website.

Shooting Begins

Mike — Sat, 17 May 2008 05:25:23 +0000

We started shooting our full length film today.

The shoot took place outside. The setting was a surprise going away party for one of the main characters.

The lighting was nice, and thankfully we got a lot of useful footage.

The genre of this film is comedy/drama.

The film is being shot in HD, and will be produced on Blu-ray and Standard DVD after completion.

We’re using the Sony HVR-V1U, along with the Letus35 Extreme DOF adapter.

While shooting in 24P, along with the DOF adapter, this is the closest we’re going to get to the “film look.” Then with a few post production tweaks (adjust levels, add film grain, etc.), we’ll be all set!

We’re aiming to have all of the footage shot within 8 months. So the film should be close to completion within 1 year. We’ll know a closer date several months down the road.

Our director is Jordan Gessler.

I (Michael), am the producer, as well as director of photography.

We’ll be posting more updates soon.
