Another Day in the Park – Wirecam Tests

Scott went out to a local Toronto park to test out the wirecam for an upcoming commercial shoot. Using the Canon 5d MKII, we setup a 150ft wire extension to get the look of a dolly, without the hassle of laying down track and levelling. A video after the break. Also check out the demo reel for the tricking artist Jonny Caines

Calgary Cattle Ranch 2010

I was born in Red Deer Alberta and although I was only 8 months old when moved away, I have always had this lingering feeling that deep down inside I’m a cowboy.
So 2 weeks ago my wife Ana and I signed on at a working ranch to spend 8 hrs a day driving cattle. Here a few of the pictures.

Jazz Lives 2010

Recently I was invited behind stage to hang with the staff of Jazz Fm and photograph behind the scenes at “Jazz Lives”.

These photographs were taken from on stage, behind the performers and facing the audience.

After the show we went to the lounge at The Novetel Hotel where were the musicians jammed to the wee hours of the morning.

So much talent collaborating in one room was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
