One of the only slightly decent photos ever taken of me drumming. This drum-face »> buck-tooth drumface that I normally sport.

It’s here, ya’ll!

Last night we had the official music video premiere at the Czar Bar in Kansas City. Thank you to everyone who came out and showed support. Afterwards, The Atlantic played a really sick acoustic set (with new member, Jordan Thompson).

This video is my baby. It’s something I worked incredibly hard on. Hours of productions and post. Multiple cuts. And the hardest part was keeping this thing under wraps when all I wanted to do was show it off! I’m proud of this, more proud than anything else I’ve ever produced. Yesterday, I sat down and had a conversation with my Honors Seminar professor. He told me that, after all the judges for this year’s Tensie awards had watched all the videos, they all choose mine as the winner. He said it was no contest. Little stuff like that is what really pushes me to keep creating and keep moving forward. Watch it, and let me know what you think. Obviously, constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome.

Big thank you to Micki Hadley and Alec Nicholas for helping me shoot this. Without Micki’s camera work and Alec’s awesome equipment and vision that he brought to the table, this video would not have been nearly as cool. Thanks to everyone who let us borrow their lamps, too!

All that said, I’m officially graduating from college in two days. The end of the longest “era” of my life is here. No more school (at least, for now). It feels strange and refreshing all at the same time. I’m ready to get out there, be on the road, and shoot pieces for incredible people/bands/companies. If you know of anyone who is in need of traveling director/cinematographer, or anyone who needs work produced, point them my way! It would be greatly appreciated.

Last, but not least, I’m currently in the beginning steps of working with the Lawrence chapter of the United Way to produce a few short pieces for their new campaign. I’ll be pairing up with a graphic design teacher from KU to create cohesive material for United Way’s marketing strategies. The opportunity looks very promising, and the final product should be out by the end of the summer. I’ll keep you all posted!

Thanks again, for all your support. It means more to me than you can imagine.

I’ve been rather busy the past few days, and will continue to be busy. It’s Finals week here at KU…my last Finals week ever. Come Sunday, I’ll be walking down the hill, graduating, ending what could be considered the longest era of my life: one of education.

The past year I’ve worked incredibly hard to try and create video media that pushes the boundaries of what “good” is. For the most part, I worked by myself, running 2 or more cameras simultaneously at shows, recording seperate audio, and editing everything as quick as possible so all of you could see the most recent sets from your favorite bands. In that sense, I’ve progressed far more than I ever thought I would. I made a bunch of great friends along the way, and I can’t wait to make more.

That said, this Saturday, KU held the annual Tensie Awards: the end of the year awards for Film Students. I entered three music videos, 2 shorts, and a small documentary. My most recent music video was nominated for Best Music Video, and I walked out of Liberty Hall with the award in my hands. I have never been so proud of myself. I have never won an award for anything film related that I’ve done, so to be given this award, especially in the field that I desire to work in the most, is a huge honor. I was also nominated for Best Body of Work, which came as a complete surprise, and I was incredibly grateful to even be considered.

Hard work pays off.

You will be able to see this award-winning music video for my friends in The Atlantic on May 11th. It premieres at the CZAR BAR in KC on the 10th, at 7:00pm. If you’re local, come out!

As always, thank you to all of you who follow and support me. Without you, I wouldn’t have an audience to bounce ideas off of or receive constructive criticism from. This is just as much your award as it is mine.

Can’t wait for you to see this.

-Quinn

Such a strange, but cool video. Especially the Eraserhead vibe at the end of the video. I don’t think I’ve got the brainpower right now to try and decode this one…

Some videos are just elegantly simple. Light is so captivating and attention-holding. This is proof of what you can do with some fluorescent lights and an awesome space. I hold to that principal with a lot of my videos. It’s often more about light than it is about the actual image.
