WatchThis is a fresh edit that is being used for a commercial during a campus wide event. For class purposes, I wasn’t able to add text and had to keep it under 30 seconds…this is the project as I had it envisioned. (Original Description) This 30 second piece is the product of my first assignment for a cinematography class. Project Guidelines: - Must include at least 1 dolly shot - Must...

Photodump
The droid in my pocket comes in handy for capturing meaningful (and meaningless) pixels. There were also times where a real camera was near and some decent resolution came through. Here is a photodump of some events that happened this summer and into the new school year:
I was able to help out on a NatGeo shoot in the sound stage. No hints for what the show is, but when the time comes, I...

(Pedialyte) Cheers
I’m not one to normally apologize for lack of posting, so I won’t.
Day 4 of this possible e-coli sickness has wiped me out so hard. It started 3am Saturday morning in DC, then Amy and I drove to Indiana which took 12 hours instead of 10 because I had to stop so often.
The next morning we flew out of Indiana to Durango (first time I’ve thrown up on a plane) and I sat on the...
It's the Mountains
(Subject: Me - Photo Credit: Nate Friend - Location: Vallecito Lake, CO)
It’s the mountains. It’s the sunrise coming over snow covered peaks as I step outside into the below freezing air that freezes my nostrils together. It’s the standing on top of a peak and almost falling over in awe of God’s creativity and wonderous creation that puts me in my place. It’s...

The fall.
I knew it would happen. I knew sometime this summer during my internship I would have to fall on my face, learn, and pick myself backup again.
Honestly though, I was excited to fail. I had this glorious image in my head of rising up after my failure and moving forward. This expectation I had was similar to walking in front of someone you really want to impress, tripping over your own feet,...

To Skip or Sink
Skipping rocks across a glassy lake in the woods is a favorite past time of mine. So is pushing massive rocks into lakes, but that doesn’t tie in with my illustration for this post. Just thought I would throw it out there (get it) to preserve my manliness and maintain the theory that if you bring a man to water, I guarantee he will throw something into it.
Anyways, back to skipping...

Commuting by Bike Is...
Here is a list of events that have shaped my bike commuting experience so far:
Commuting by bike is:
A fantastic way to get to work (5 miles downhill)
A commitment to get home (5 miles uphill)
Beating cars down hills
Cars beating you up hills
Riding with other commuters in the morning sometimes
Riding by yourself most of the time
Riding between stopped cars

Own It
It has been an incredible time in my life these past two weeks. The Lord has provided great friends, undeniable affirmation, and a big dose of humility also. Moving to a City on your own, or anywhere for that matter, forces you to pick from two options:
Put yourself out there and meet people no matter how weird it might feel.
Keep to yourself, hang in your apartment, and feel be lonely.

Settling In
Standing in front of the White House
Since my last hectic post, life has been awesome here in the District. I moved into a basement apartment in the N.W. part of town and getting into the city via bike or metro is super easy.
So far, I have met some incredible people who are passionate about documentary story telling and have a huge heart for the Lord. All I can say is that DC is absolutely...
If I Didn't Write It, I Wouldn't Believe It
Welp, might as well just dive straight into this one…
Wake up at 4:30am, take a shower, load a few last minute things into the car and it was time to hit the road at 5:00am. It was a smooth drive with no issues all the way into Washington, DC. Georgetown to be exact.
Amy and I pull up to the house that I am supposed to be moving into, knock on the door, and we are greeted buy a guy in a...
A New Stage of Life
A new stage of life begins this week as I move to Washington, D.C. to begin a summer internship with National Geographic Television. I would have never imagined that the Lord would provide something like this for me, but I think He just wants to emphasize that his plans are always going to blow my mind.
Moving somewhere new is going to be an adventure, it always is. Where do you eat, who do you...
WatchThis is the film that I have been working on all semester long called “The Stage”. The synopsis is on the Vimeo page so I am not going to post it here, but I will say that the idea for this film came through a LOT of prayer for an idea.
We put everything we had into this film and used the talents that the Lord gave us the best we knew how. I hope that you enjoy the film!

I Am No Better
The entire world found out last night that Osama Bin Laden was killed by US troops. Personally, I found out through Twitter before I heard from any news source or even our President. There were tweets of:
“Hoorah - God bless our troops” “Hell yeah USA, we finally got him” “Hey Obama, you should hold his head up and play final countdown”
There were also...
I'm an Intern!
I always struggle to write a witty intro to get people to read further into the post and I just got whooped tonight so I am just going to jump right in:
I am an official intern at National Geographic Television this summer Only by the Grace of God did I get this position and I am blown away by the plan that He has for my life. I am moving to Washington, DC on May 25th and I will be there until...

Observe. Meditate. Create
Observe. Stop and take in the sights, sounds, behaviors, delicacies, and eccentricities of what is around you. Fix your gaze on what not lies behind your steps or under your feet but what is in front of you, around you, in you and through you. Be willing to be stretched, challenged, grossed out, uncomfortable, or proven wrong. Realize the importance of what it means to focus on understanding...

Yesterday I was on my way to Phoenix for a couple of appointments and meetings. I turned on the radio, and went to the top 40’s (kind of a guilty pleasure every once in a while). A song was playing by what I assumed to be Rihanna. I listened to the more than just the catchy beat while driving 75…

Why Camp Matters
I was 16, cocky, and had a terrible sense of style when I first walked into the gates of camp Kivu. As you can see from the picture above, my headband and sunglasses definitely set the bar for being “cool”. I grew up 30 minutes from camp and by the time I was in high school I figured that I was “too cool” for another christian summer camp. I was raised in the church,...

Adventure!
What would spring break be without a bit of adventure eh?
Amy and I were on our way back to Tennessee hanging out in the Denver Airport eating lunch. Our flight was scheduled to board at 12:00pm (noon) and we were waiting at the gate starting at 11:45am. We heard other flight announcements over the intercom but never heard any announcement for our flight. As 12:20 rolled around I thought it...

Giving Up
I have never participated in lent…ever. Growing up, my family never did it, never talked about it, or even mentioned it. It wasn’t until last year that I found out about it but was too late to start (had about 3 days left until it was over). But this year is different, so here is what I am giving up to focus more on Jesus:
Facebook. Yeah I know, it’s not a...
WatchBeyond pumped to see a company like Teva putting out such positive and motivating material. The message definitely transcends action sports and begs for self reflection and acceptance…a very biblical principle.
Nice Teva!
