“Back to Indiana” music video -The Elms.  

    This is a music video I shot with a good friend/talented videographer.  The overall concept was the brain child of the lead singer, Owen Thomas whom i’ve worked closely with on many projects.  The video was primarily shot in the small town, Seymour, IN with exception to the running segments which were shot from the upper east coast to the midwest (New York City to Louisville, KY).

This is a commercial I co-shot with Sami Mustaklem and Alex Kosene.  They are “3rd Strand Productions”.  A local production company here in Indianapolis, IN.  The commercial was for Reis Nichols Jewelers.  Everything was shot in a beautiful restaurant right downtown Indianapolis called, “The Capital Grille”.  All footage was shot with two #Canon 5D Mark II’s.  The primary lenses used were the Canon 50mm f1.2L with the exception of the “beauty” shots which we used a canon macro lens and the canon 70-200mm f2.8L.  Everyone was a pleasure to work with.  A great crew, great cast, oh and The Capital Grill supplied the BEST craft services EVER!  All footage edited by Sami Mustaklem.  I hope to work with 3rd Strand again!

I took this photo for the “Wilco Summer Photo Contest”  I didn’t win, I didn’t get nominated even for a chance to win haha…but, I thought it was kind of a cool picture…
The me and my girlfriend’s plan was to make it look like all these people were just relaxing in a lake on rafts sunbathing and they just happened to float in a position that spelled “WILCO”…anyway, I had fun with it and all the participants had a good time as well…
The title was “Gravity Pulls Wilco”
