29Jan Shortly After Nightfall Film Noir project
Rob was asking for some more examples of my work. This video contains a handful of shots from a film noir project I worked on earlier this year. Special thanks to the OxBow Motel for letting us rent the entire place for the weekend as well as the cast and crew for spending 4 days in the middle of nowhere. The establishments near by were limited to, the motel, a gas station that closed at 10 p.m. and a bar that doubled as a restaurant until 9 at night.
Although we didn’t have the budget to go completely retro, the costumes and general style of the motel really added to the shoot. The high contrast lighting was achieved using this set of lights and some hand made gobos. If you’re interested, you can find a few more photos from the shoot here. If you really want to follow along with projects I’m currently working on, you can always check out my IMDB page.

Hi Deejay
It is nice you are adding your video work to your site. Hopefully you will expand further
with this, as you seemingly would have a lot to offer from looking at the quality of your work.
Best,
Jim

I work on a lot of projects but many of them aren’t creative or interesting (interviews and training come to mind). I’ll try and make an effort to post clips from some of the more interesting projects I work on when I get approval. It always seems like the creative projects are the most fun, but pay the least.

I don’t mind seeing the less interesting stuff at all. I like seeing how all the things you talk about and the products you review are put to work.
