This is a short video promo I did for WEC a few years ago. It encompassed my desire to work closely with a client and to be involved in the whole process. I worked on the strategy, wrote the script, shot, edited and created the graphics.

This was made on no budget and with a crew of one and was part of my journey to learn how to effectively make video that communicates without the big production crews.

Today was the first chance I had to get the Glidetrack SD slider out and do some simple dolly moves. I'm really happy with how it functions. The advantages for me are the quick set up time and flexible nature. This means I can quickly get a few moving shots in while doing 1-2 person shoots. The lightweight of the unit is also of great benefit, I can take it overseas easily or even on a bushwalk.

I'm looking forward to putting my motion control rig on it to create a lightweight portable timelapse dolly. Stay tuned for more images.

A few years ago I travelled to Europe to film a documentary on Betel a drug rehabilitation ministry that started in Madrid, Spain. Brian in the story was shot in NYC and is now no longer with Betel from what I hear.

I've noticed when I go fishing with a really good fisherman he knows exactly what he wants to catch. The expert chooses the bait (or lure), he'll choose the tide time, time of day and location all so he can catch that beautiful flathead, or snapper. His efforts are targeted and researched.

And he's successful.

On the other hand I tend to use whatever is lying around, whenever I feel like it. I'm not successful. I catch small fish that need returning, or worse I don't even get a bite.

Our communication should be like the expert fisherman, targeted, singular in focus and researched.

I don't hear the fishermen saying "I really can't focus just on snapper cause I might miss out on a toad fish"
