WORKDAY Corporate event

as well as a live webcast audience. 

My New Mo-Sys Lambda Remote Head With Roll Axis.

I asked my friends John Chater and Jay Farrington over at Chater Camera in Berkeley, CA. if I could come over, borrow a camera, and a set up my new remote head. I need to take some publicity photos and dial in the system. Then I put up the Roll Axis. The whole thing works great. 

ebay

Dave Barnes and I were dueling jibs on ebay(s) new ad campaign corporate meeting. I supplied 2 jibs for this 2 day event that was broadcast via the web to all of the ebay locations around the world.

CBS 48 Hours

Along the coast of California is where this episode took the 48 Hours crew for the story of 

"Kristen's Secret." Track Smith was the correspondent for the story and she was a absolute pleasure to work with. The link of the story is below.

Studio 1.0  Bloomberg TV

The Studio 1.0 is an on going show for Bloomberg. The jib and I have  recently been added as part of the show. Live form the Salesforce Conference and an interview with CEO Marc Benioff in San Francisco was our latest shoot. Here is a link to the shows
STUDIO 1.0

Something just for fun.

My good friend Patrick Roth, who is one of my technocrane ops, has been a CHP officer for many years. He is also the President of the Marin Area Squad Club. He is in charge of organizing events for this organization. We have collaborated on some graphics work together for some of these events. I help out with some Photoshop work for flyers and logos, and stuff like that. Most recently, I helped design a logo for a "3 gun challenge" event he was in charge of. I was invited to the event and decided to cover it with my still camera. It was well organized and a huge success. I am sure that this was the first annual of many more to come. I was also lucky enough to go through the course too.

Oracle Open World

This was the second year that the Oracle Open World event needed a jib. 

My client and friend Cory Burton at Invision Communications called me again.

Larry Ellison made a couple appearances at the event to the crowds delight.

I look forward to the event next year too.

PBR Rodeo

Kevin Huthison of Summit Digital Films usually is the jib operator for the PBR tour. 

However, this event at the Oakland Arena he needed someone to cover for him so he gave me a call.

Thanks Kevin... it was fun. 

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Production Company: 20th Century Fox
Director: Matt Reeves
DoP: Michael Seresin
Up, up, and away! The Technocrane was hoisted to the top of a downtown San Francisco building for one shot for the movie "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Patrick Roth was lead technocrane tech for this one.

Terri Timely

Production Company: Terri Timely
Directors: Corey Creasey and Ian Kibby
DoP: Donavan Sell

Two commercials, one for  Pandora and the other for a French grocery store chain celebrating their 50th anniversary. The Pandora commercials can be seen on my videos page or at the Terri Timely link above. The Terri Timely team is very creative and super cool to work with.

H&R Block

Production Company: Moxie Pictures

Director: DoP: Russell Carpenter

This was the "Get your billion dollars back America" campaign. 

There wasn't a lot of "techno" moves on this one, however the crane saved lots of time due to it's flexibility. Patrick Roth and Todd Snyder assisted me during the 5 days of shooting.

The Age of Adaline

Director: Lee Toland Krieger
DoP: David Lanzenberg

The Age of Adaline is an upcoming feature that I happened to be lucky enough to be a part of. What a great crew. It was a second unit crew so we were fast and agile... even with the techno.
The SL Pod from GEO films was all that was needed for the Red Dragon. Super small and 

super light wight. In fact a bit to light, extra weight had to be added to the front of the techno just to achieve balance. 

Salesforce

This is a corporate piece for Salesforce.

The shot was of this very cool all electric Zero motorcycle speeding off

down the "perverbial" deserted road. This bike is made locally in Santa Cruz

and was one hell of a cool bike. Check em out on the link below

Lewis Black "The Rant is Due"

My friend Jimi Dunn called and needed another remote head operator for a Lewis Black

comedy show that was shot in Napa (before the quake). Jimi had 3 of his mini Jimmy Jib

remote heads on the job. I got to sit on a chair all night, enjoy some comedy, and the

company of the other remote head operator Christina. 

Good times had by all.

Ryder Trucks

Production Company: Slim Pictures

Director: Drea Cooper

DoP: Eric Treml

This shot was of some dancers shot from straight overhead and booming down straight 

to just over their heads while the camera was rotating in 360 degree fashion.  The shot was part of a commercial for the Ryder truck company. The technocrane was the only way to go for this job.The straight down shots are always tough. To keep the camera in a straight line all the way down while spinning was a challenge. The client was happy and so were we.

Paul McCartney at Candlestick Park

Paul McCartney and the last show at Candlestick Park.

This was for some footage that will be used in a documentary about Paul McCartney.

Listen an indépendant film

Listen is an independent film shot in the small towns of the San Joaquin Valley

Super nice crew to work with and fun to be a part of an "indie" again.

2014 Lincoln

This was a series of spots for the new Line up for Lincoln.

is required.
