TIME TRAVELER PRODUCTIONS


Set in southwest US, this is an exploration of the suggestion that many of the unexplained occurrences in our lives are due to the "hidden hand" of . . .

"Birth of Innocence" - Documentary Best Light & Finish - S16mm
     INNOCENCE PRODUCTIONS


An ongoing effort since early 2003, this client regularly provides footage for this project that features primarily nature footage shot in Vermont & Maine throughout the seasons.

Thousands of setups making opportunistic use of available light, though rarely with the benefit of a slate or greycard to aid in set-up. We correspond via email and an occasional phone conversation to discuss shooting conditions, stock, etc. I have enjoyed the confidence of this client since its inception.
Visuals are restricted until completion of the project.

"Only The Strong Survive" - Tape to Tape for Film Finish
     CHRIS HEGEDUS/D.A. PENNEBAKER


Stax Records launched the careers of Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Carla & Rufus Thomas, and Booker T. & The MGs back in the 1960s and 70s. But then disco hit big and all but wiped soul music off the map. This documentary harkens back to the golden era of soul and catches up with the carriers of the Stax dynasty, including Wilson Pickett, Sam Moore, Mary Wilson, Isaac Hayes, and The Chi Lites.

Challenging correction to attain continuity in this multi-source media. The archival footage was optimized, while the run & gun style of the documentary footage was smoothed out.
