Rolling Hills Casino – Bored Room

Rolling Hills Casino – Bored Room

Last spot in the Better to Play series. I just watched all four back-to-back and I must say I'm pleased with their consistency. Yay for branding. This spot was shot on Red and posted in FCP with some help from Magic Bullet and After Effects (for the motion graphics). I'm pretty sure the idea for this spot came from an episode of Arrested Development. RIP Arrested Development. We'll always have the banana stand. ...

Levi Leipheimer’s Gran Fondo

Levi Leipheimer’s Gran Fondo

Last month Lyn and I jumped down to Santa Rosa to film Levi Leipheimer's Gran Fondo. I know what you're thinking, "What the heck is a gran fondo?" Well, according to levisgranfondo.com, it is a "long distance, mass-participation cycling event – not a race." There, now you know. I must say it was a grand gran fondo. The course wound its way through deep, dark forests and across golden hillsides. The standard practice for covering cycling events is from the back of a motorcycle, or from a helicopter. Luckily, we had both. Carl Burchfiel, our fearless leader, wrestled a fully-kitted Red inside a tiny chopper while Lyn and I took the motos. ...

Spider on White – Macro

Spider on White – Macro

Canon 100mm Macro + Red One. Yes, I hate these things too, but I love to hate them. Working with this guy for about an hour emptied my adrenal glands. Definitely will need a spider wrangler next time. The spider was either sitting completely motionless, or scampering away off the table. That made me think that a subject like this would work really well for a "living photograph." Click the pic to see what I mean. ...

Portland Cyclocross

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 ...

Cart – A Short Film

Cart – A Short Film

Ever wonder how abandoned shopping carts end up where they do?  Me too. Cart Written & Directed by Jesse Rosten Music by Peter Lance The idea for this film was hatched a few years ago.  Lyn and I were driving through town and had Radiohead's OK Computer on the CD player.  As we drove by an empty parking lot, we happened to notice a shopping cart looking rather lost and disheveled.  This visual, combined with Yorke's longing melodies, had us both feeling like we were experiencing something dramatic and cinematic.  So, naturally, we started laughing.  The next few minutes were spent joking about "the little cart that could."   "Wouldn't that be funny if..." "He's got ...

Girls Club Screen Grab

Girls Club Screen Grab

Can you believe this is a frame grab from my video camera? Yeah, neither can I. I’m constantly amazed at what this camera can do if you feed and water it well. Please to enjoy the latest spot for Rolling Hills Casino Resort. Many thanks to Anna and Michelle our lovely make-up artists, James our choreographer, Derek the wonder PA, and, of course, Lyn who wrangled it all. I would also like to give an honorable mention to the 20mph winds that swept the greens all day and made it virtually impossible to pull off any of the pre-planned lighting setups. The final score was Wind: 1, 12X12 silk overhead: 0. ...
