New Demo reel from a few projects ive done recently
On set shooting on red one mx
Southern Illinois
notes for collaborators
Production design- scene should have a modern Noir look to it with the location and a fog to its self for the atmosphere so we will need a fog machine if possible.
Cinematography- sigle light source with very soft lighting. on the actors enough to get detail on actors faces and to realize there things going on in the diner but not to much where you can tell what the people a table across is eating.
Audio- there should be music in the scene Jazz playing in the background but it should be buried under the room tone of the restaurant and should just feel the mello of it from the moment.
Locations
the scene can take place in a bar or diner takes place in should look old but built in the last 15 years should look like it has some history to it an identity.
Characterization for HEAT Scene
McNeil a career criminal looking to settle this last score so that he can make some money to get out of this life, but feels obligated to do things because of his pride as a criminal.
Something like this Professional signs of some one looks trustworthy but untrustworthy at the same time. needs to be a man that will do what needs done if required.
HANNA
is Al Pacino character a cop who has been broken by his job that has destroyed his family life with two divorces and another on the way Hanna buries his head in to his work and focus on that nullify the pain.
He dress like a detective but grey dull neutral colors not really stylish just plain dressing. suit and tie. loves his job as a cop and a good person deep down.
The Detective look is what fits Hanna character

Whats Next?
So as most of you know by know I had a great semester working on Luminary and Imminence and making alot of friends and connections with a bunch of talented individuals but Know the semester over and I need to get to work on personal films and finding a job. If anyone can help let me know I'm looking for any kind of work I can find in and outside of the industry. and I'm also looking to do some sort of short film over the summer. before production on Midnight Rain: Nightmares begins in the Fall so if anyone know of any production's that are going on our would like to be involved in one just message me so we can figure this out.
Survival Plan?
Yesterday around 7:00pm we wrapped on the shooting of the short film Survival Plan. giving a full 12 hrs. of shooting time It was fun and I got chance to get some really cool shots in the film will probably be up by the end of the week on youtube.
A lot of snow outside
More Than A Game
My younger brother had the first play off game for his Park district team today, sadly they lost but, they staged one of the greatest comebacks I've ever seen each play they fought for the ball, until the very end, from how the game was going it looked like the ending from the movie Couch Carter.
Wish you could have saw it when my short 5'1 brother snatch the ball out of there 5'9 center hand then stared him down daring him to do something, It was one of those moments that just makes you want to cheer for the losing team.
