Probably my most viewed film online! Posted this over at VIMEO a couple years ago when I first started using the Canon 7D camera. It now has over 44,000 views and is a big demo video on that cameras abilities, being embedded and reposted about on many, many sites!
I shot everything in it in just a few hours one late October day in 2009. It edited together quite quickly too. Not having endless amounts of video makes an edit go quick as your choices on what shots to use are limited!
Spring is a wonderful time of year. Birds are chirping and the air is fresh and clean in the mountains! I find it very serene and peaceful. This is a collection of images I have shot in May and June in the Adirondacks of Upstate New York.
It’s my first attempt at presenting a video in a panavison, or cinemascope widescreen format! The 2.35 aspect ratio works well for these shots, especially in HD on a BIG screen. I used my Sony EX1 and also a Canon 7D camera. Lenses used were my Tamron 17-55mm 2.8, and the 28-135mm kit lens.
Enjoy and I hope the wide format is OK with everyone, it really is fun to compose for it! It’s much more epic this way! Let me know what you think.
What a fun project this was! Botanist and Professor Chris Martine asked Tim Kramer and myself to shoot a pilot episode for a TV series called “Plants are cool, too!” We traveled to Louisiana in the summer of 2011 to shoot this great story of a carnivorous plant that eats bugs! We co-produced it, shot it, edited it, recorded and mixed the theme song and did all the graphic animation for it too! Truly a one stop shop!
We are hoping to shoot more as funding allows.
The first highlight video I did for the Plattsburgh State Cardinals was very highly received! Coach Waterbury asked me to make another for the 2011 season. So I shot the same tournament weekend as the year before. I also used some of the same big movie trailer type music. The final game could not have ended any better with an overtime goal and a huge celebration right in front of where I was standing!
This is a video I did for Plattsburgh State Mens Soccer in 2010. It was meant to be a recruitment/highlight film for the coach to use. I covered 2 games in the Cardinal Classic tournament to get enough footage for this video. Could have used a few more games worth but that was the only chance I had to shoot!
This is a video that I made for the Miner Farm in Chazy, NY. It is an overview of what they have to offer on their property and was used on their website. The woman featured on the tour is my wife teri and one of the kids is my son and the other is his friend Evan! It’s sometimes easiest to grab family members for these videos!
Re-election TV commercial for Assembly Woman Janet Duprey NY State 2010. Tim Kramer and I wrote, shot, Directed and Edited this for her campaign. It won an award for Best Assembly TV Campaign commercial. We went with simple and clean and positive, no slamming of opponents and it was well received because of it!

This is a recruitment video Tim Kramer and I made for High Peaks Dental (with offices in Lake Placid and Plattsburgh, NY). Everyone in both locations was a pleasure to work with! Our biggest challenge was keeping the length down while praising everything the area (and HP Dental!) has to offer.
