These photos were taken for an upcoming campaign promoting Edmond Lacrosse. We are producing a television commercial with will use some of these and some video we took the same day. These photos will also appear is some print materials. These Girls from the OU and OSU Lacrosse teams came out to a field in Edmond for the shoot.

This is my first time shooting an Action/Adventure flick, but, so far, I’m very happy with the results. The whole thing is shot on a Canon T2i. Shooting video on  a DSLR does present a certain set of challenges – namely, auto-focus and the inability to zoom while shooting – but the benefits are worth the drawbacks. This was also the first time that I’ve gotten to use a job. Gabe purchased a 15′ crane that the camera can be mounted on. The main hurdle with this is that we don’t have an external monitor and trying to judge your frame by looking at the tiny on-camera monitor from 15′ away is quite difficult. That said, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the results. I think the job only set Gabe back about $400, but it is remarkably smooth. Crane shots really do give a production that “pro” feel. It is kind of amazing, really.

Gabe has been kind enough to post some footage from our first shoot. I can wait to see how this all comes together.

This isn’t anything new; I just realized that I’ve never posted any of my Legal Minds or MDTV segments to my portfolio. This is a 3 minute segment for the television show Legal Minds that we air at Fox25 every quarter. This segment, which I produced, deals with the issue of tort reform. For this show we interview local attorney about issues relating to their field. Normally they explain the concerns and procedures for Social Security Disability cases or whatever their specialty happens to be. In this case The attorney wanted to talk about an issue that was before the Oklahoma legislature. It turned out to be a rather interesting segment.
