People always describe car accidents as happening ‘in the blink of an eye’. We’re slowing down that moment by shooting Phantom HD Gold at 1000fps. Our amazing crew built a stylized cabin, complete with seatbelts and an airbag, on a turntable mounted on a 20-foot sled. To simulate the violence of the collision, we’re firing 6 glass cannons (silicone ‘glass’) and 2 air guns on impact. agency | Network Affiliates director | Jeff Feierstein writer, script supervisor | Megan Cull dp | Scott Tuke ac | Doug O’Kane phantom tech | Heath Firestone dit | Carl Otto, Eric Anolin 2nd unit dp | Tom Baldonado gaffer | Chris Gerding key grip | Matt Stelling grips | Mitch Stelling, Tony Thomas art director | Dylan Kiszlowski set decorators | Chris Rink, Joe Crowley talent | Radical, Big Fish, and Arial Dance Over Denver makeup | Tanya Jones craft services | Charlene Galway still photography | Paul Trantow stage | Colorado Studios production supplies | Koerner Camera, Colorado Studios
Following-up a successful 2011 campaign, Launch put together another talented production team to create Your Wake-Up Call. Kontagious TV hired Colorado’s Kevin Emmons to shoot bird’s eye view photography of different bedroom sets using ARRI Alexa on a Fisher crane. Donald cut the offline in AVID DS, using 422 ProRes HQ files. Eric conformed an EDL from AVID to the Alexa 4444 Log-C files in Baselight, then rendered out new 422 ProRes shots for final online and vfx with Donald.

The Colorado ski season is just around the corner, and I’m ready for the snow to fly after finishing color on Matchstick Productions’ “Attack of La Niña”. The feature was shot on location in Colorado, Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and California, during the 2010-2011 season, one of the snowiest in recent history. The MSP crew shot several formats, including RED, Panasonic AF100, Phantom, 16mm film and more. I cranked out the color work in a marathon two day Baselight session and delivered Apple ProRes HQ 422. The MSP edit team layed off the final master to HDCam for the movie tour. On Saturday, September 17th, the film premiered in two cities on the same night, two sold-out shows in Boulder, CO and Montreal, QC. I’ll be attending the Denver premiere tonight at The Gothic Theater. Tickets are still available, and as always, there will be plenty of ski-related giveaways. **the above trailer from MSP was cut prior to final color-grade… you’ll have to catch the movie tour to see the finished looks!

A rainy and snowy Colorado day won’t stop this year’s production. We started in the knee-deep powder at Loveland Ski Resort; moved on to gorgeous interiors in rainy Idaho Springs; and now we’re dancing with a cowboy at in the Highlands. CCT will shoot two commercials over the next two days in various front range locations for Rocky Mountain Health Plans. Theresa Wingert and Henry Lynk (Media Pantry) are shooting Canon 7D. I’m wrangling data and auditioning color grades in Baselight for Mac. Henry’s martini… not THE martini
Cactus put together a great team for this recent Colorado Lottery spot. Twist director Matt Pittroff shot Arri ALEXA. Matt Struck and Eric Anolin worked the AVID cut and Baselight color. Seductive animation by the team at Fuse.
Steven Lopez created this purely 3D project in Adobe After Effects, utilizing scanned photo album pages, and a 3D camera with page peel transitions to deliver a virtual photo album. The spot is built to be customized for seasonal TUFF SHED offers, additional copy and different client photos and video.
Crosspoint editors Steven Lopez and Luke Bishop worked together to finish this piece utilizing Final Cut Pro and After Effects. Working with client provided stills and video, they worked to deliver a video that had a cohesive feel to match the Avalon brochure and branding. agency | Cactus edit + fx | Steven Lopez and Luke Bishop, Crosspoint
