Hold Up Wait A Minute Me Let Put Some Recap In It.

For the title... that Kush song was stuck in my head. I hate rap.

Today is SEPTEMBER!! 15th and in this note...
I recap... Like crazy!

W² Media is up and running on Facebook. W² is my production group. We make films and do photography and really any other type of media that we can mess with and have fun with. At one point we went and filmed a live event for a local band called The Crash Years. Here's a picture or two!




They are awesome. Check them out here: http://www.facebook.com/thecrashyearsmusic


At one point I started another film since the last one ended up falling apart since we couldn't get actors or locations worked out... This one fell apart in post production...we got farther than the last one. It was a good learning experience to say the least. It was called Falling Out.
 This is Jaime, one of the actors, having some fun in her awesome apron (it says "queen of everything") in one of the flower shop scenes.

I directed this film, this is my camera man/business partner (the other "W" in W²) Ethan Watkins. This was shot during the filming of the war flashback at a local run down mill. We had fun shooting this scene. The cops were actually called on us at one point, but I talked to them and explained what was happening and that we had permission to be on the property and he was okay with it. He went and talked to the security guard and they ended up laughing and talking for quite awhile. 

Lets see, at one point I did some senior photography for a friend. 
That was an interesting day. She had a mustache on a stick in a lot of the photos... and she has a problem with being serious. So a lot of the pictures are hilarious. I had never really done portrait photography before that day so it was a really good experience.

One night my brother came to my dorm and we went out and did some night photography which I am AWFUL at. 
This is a light at the Bobby Dodd Stadium at Georgia Tech. 

 This is inside of the undergrad study building. Very interesting lines in this photo.

 Awful picture of the Atlanta skyline and skyscrapers.

This is of the giant fountain in the middle of campus.

That's about all that I have done that I can think of since my last post. I am definitely going to start updating this blog more often with photos and videos that Ido in future. I'm not sure if it will be a 'critique my own photos' kind of blog or just a 'sharing my experiences' blog, but I will soon find out.

Inside Out?

Today is January 17th and in this note...

I have a film that is in production.


Its about a little boy that has weird thoughts that no child should have. He likes to talk to the camera... its kind of weird.


Here we see our young actor hunting Nazi's....


Setting up for the gun selection scene.

Many more scenes still have to be filmed and there is not much time in our busy lives. The film is just for fun and to try and challenge ourselves and see if we can create a short that will entertain.
