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.

There is a mountain of editing to get done in the coming weeks.

Things I have for you in upcoming days:

The official release of the Jockin’ My Fresh 3 documentary.
Live songs from Balance and Composure and La Dispute.
The Atlantic’s tour video.
The Atlantic’s official music video for “Aftermath”.
KU Alternative Breaks video profiles

Keep your eyes peeled.

Back from SXSW.

Feels so good to be home. Didn’t get to shoot nearly as much or see nearly as much music as I had hoped (Texas allergies got the worst of me, had me lying in bed for half of Friday and Saturday, it was still a great time.

Glad to have hangs with the guys in The Atlantic. Genuinely funny and cool dudes.

Now to get working on their music video. Can’t give a precise deadline for this piece, work has got me swamped, but I can tell you that it will easily be the best thing I’ve done to date.

Look out.

Shooting a music video for these dudes this weekend. Absolutely cannot wait.

Now I gotta build a dolly…

Anyone have some blueprints, instructions, videos on how to build one? I’ve seen a few, didn’t know if there way something anyone would particularly recommend.
