Hitchcock Mobile Storyboard App
Storyboards are a valuable production tool, but creating them is such a pain. Why is it so hard? Well, filmmaking is hard, and when you storyboard you are essentially "writing" the visuals of your film. Many creative decisions come into play. You're acting as director, director of photography, and editor all at once. You're deciding what shots, with what lens, and in what order tell your story best. No easy task. And when you can't draw your way out of a paper bag (like me), spontaneity and creativity gets stifled. Wondering what that shot might look like from a bird's eye view? Sure, just give me...20, 30 minutes or so. And I'm going to ...

Good, now you look like a tourist. Chances are your camera is hanging somewhere near your stomach. You'll probably want to shorten up the camera strap so that the camera hangs over your chest. Unless your tummy is sporting a six pack (I've got a six pack IN my ...

Portland Cyclocross
I shot this footage last December at the US Grand Prix of Cyclocross in Portland, Oregon. My buddy Chris was racing and I figured this would be a great way to try out the new Birger mount. After shooting for about a year with only the Red 18-50mm, it was pretty liberating to start shooting with some different focal lengths via Birger and EOS glass. This footage has been sitting on my hard drive for the last 8 months and I finally got around to editing some clips together. This is not meant to be anything more than a camera test so don't look too closely for ...
