Once a year I help the Miss Brain­erd Lakes Schol­ar­ship Pro­gram, by pro­duc­ing an open video and some con­tes­tant videos lead­ing up to the event.  This year for the inter­views I decided to try a cleaner look with just a plain black back­ground.  I showed up for the shoot to find they were all wear­ing their black pageant t-shirts.  Black on black.  Instead of a soft, sub­tle back­light, I cranked up the back soft box to a lit­tle more than half the key light power.  By doing that I was able to get sep­a­ra­tion between the con­tes­tants and the background.

You can see all the videos on the face­book page.

Back in 2009 I had the priv­i­lege to work on the In-Fisherman Ice Guide tele­vi­sion series. After the ini­tial 13 week run, the series would rerun the fol­low­ing 13 weeks. Dur­ing the rerun period a new out­reach pro­gram called Hunt. Fish. Feed. was devel­oped and needed to be pro­moted. In order to get the pro­mo­tion into an Ice Guide pro­gram, it needed to replace an exist­ing edit. It became one of my favorite seg­ments. Here it is.

I made this quick tuto­r­ial while work­ing on the film Tilt. Hope­fully it was worth post­ing. What do you think?

I was hav­ing a hard time decid­ing if I should make one demo reel or sev­eral high­light­ing dif­fer­ent skill sets. In the end, I decided I should make sev­eral. Was it the right deci­sion? You tell me.
