Stacey Petersen's Demo for Dezember Photo

So we just finished this video last night for Brody Dezember's new website. Stacey Petersen is a photographer for Brody and was the last one in the office to need a demo for her "bio" page.

We shoot this at various locations around Salt Lake City and in a cool alley across from the old ZCMI Center. The song is Great DJ by the Ting Tings.

Can't Wait

Seriously, I can't wait for this film. This one has been sitting in post-production purgatory for almost 2 years. The studio didn't like it, reshoots, re-edits, compromises.

Finally we get to see it, chopped or not. The book was a centerpiece of my childhood reading. I just remember going back to it so many times. The artwork was so captivating. The concept of a boy my age roaming with monsters was so scary, yet engaging.

Love it. Can't wait. Have I said this already? I can't wait.

Randy's Demo

So here it is. The demo we shot over 3 months ago and I just recently got around to editing.

It is "Fight Club meets Wedding Video", down to the "Call Randy" message that comprises only 2 frames of screentime.

This video is also available on Brody Dezember's new website - which totally kills by the way.

Michael and Sara's Wedding

So I have a lot of affection for this couple. They were actually happy at their wedding and I didn't have to prompt them to smile at all. This helps so much! It is the difference between forced and staged events and the truest form of documenting an event - uninterrupted reality.

The music for this piece is the capstone. This is what makes a wedding video truly timeless - music that reflects the nature of the event, versus the musical leanings of the bride and groom. To understand that, watch any Wes Anderson movie.

We shot this at the Salt Lake Temple and the Provo City Library - a seriously cool location for a wedding reception (it's big!).

Charles' and Kristy's Wedding

So I never posted this video to my website, but it is seriously one of my favorites. It rained cats and dogs (and more cats and dogs) that day. More rain than I have ever seen at a wedding. Nevertheless, it was quite the party and Kristy and Charles were troopers and could see past the moisture.

You will notice that photos (and many others) are incorporated into the video. They are courtesy of Brody Dezember and I do this look as an added value when you book me along with Brody.

Their wedding was at Log Haven. Here it is.

New Blog

Ho Hum,
So here we are again. I have had to repost my blog once more. My previous blog home was Vimeo, but they have done away with the text-posting abilities of their service. So, sigh, we are now at blogspot and this looks like it will be home now.

In all fairness my favorite blog - blu sky disney - is a blogspot affair and I love it for its simplicity. No flashy banners, no extra this and that, Just information and beautiful imagery to accompany ever post. I just love it. And I am there often. Take a look if you get some time.
