35mm shoot in Rise's Studio A. Used every bit of this stage to recreate a top secret research base. We wanted a dark feel to this dramatically done story to further promote major new toy- Pox. Custom built a vault and light corridor. Spec out to the scenic dept. to build alternating panels of milk plexi and masonite for long lens shots and dolly shots. Created a rear screen projection set for dolly moves on the mother spacecraft fly-over and hero shots. I was glad to not be suffering inside the yellow containments suits.

Summer & Fall of 2000 I completed lighting direction for the short film "Crocodile". The film was co-written by Pedro Lange-Churion and Tracy Seeley, based on the short story Cocodrillo. The authors are professors of Language and Literature who were on sabbatical from the University of San Francisco. The two respectively directed and produced the project. The film was shot on 35mm 5279 film stock, with a donated ancient blimped Arriflex IIc by Roger Holliday. Armed with a three ton truck, a rusty 6K, 2-2500's, 4 1200's, a small tungsten package, and a largely novice crew, we rolled into action on a Monday morning, and didn't stop filming until 8 days later. With 11 shooting locations, 28 speaking character parts and over 100 extras it was an involved film for a low budget independent short.

Twelve minute 16mm film trailer set to a bizarre murder mystery screenplay. Created to solicit feature film funding in Europe & the U.S. Involved staying one jump ahead in a very tight production schedule that included night time exteriors, rain, fog and yes, some leather....

Music video shot with friends on cable station equipment & effected/ posted at WKYT-TV 27 where I worked after I signed the station off in the wee hours of the night. The project was entered in the statewide KET Film & Video Festival 1982. It was selected along with 15 other entries for the Best of Show, the narrowest the festival selects.
