1/2 - I was fortunate enough this year to be nominated again for a CSC Award by the Canadian Society of Cinematographers @canadiancinematographer as a contender for this years “Best Cinematography in Documentary Short” category for a branded doc that I shot in collaboration with @thejunoawards and @amaalnuux. 💪🏼 Shot on the beautiful Hawk V-Plus 45-90mm zoom provided by the wonderful team at William F whites @wfw_intl. Special shout out to the whole team on this one. Director Avery Stedman @mouthsore, whom without, this project and mini series wouldn’t exist. Patrick Samaniego at Alter Ego for the beautiful colour grade @_patricksamaniego and the rest of the cast and crew for trekking through a cold winter shoot. We shot this 18 min doc in a single weekend and I couldn’t be more grateful for them all for making this project what it is. Congrats to all the other nominees and winners this year! 🌪

I’m very excited to share, my latest feature film “The Boy In The Woods” was selected as one of twelve films screening in the “industry selects” program at TIFF this year. Thank you to @tiff_net to director @snowdocs, producers @joelreilly, @pdpatt, @robertbudreau, Jonathan Bronfman, @andrew_bronfman, @planetofcraig, our incredible cast @jettklyne, @richardcarmitage, @davidkohlsmith, @katherine_fog + our wonderful northern production team. It truly takes a village to make a film. I couldn't be more grateful for my keys on this film @_adrian_anton_, @spennicam, our production designer @helciopugliese and my incredible North Bay camera team.  Special shout out to my whole team at @seslercompany and to my partner @torriwebster for the love, support and guidance. The screening will be reserved for press and buyers during the fest, however I'll be sure to share the details on the films public screening in the future!

NEW WORK: Clutch - “Egg Man” featuring Toronto Raptors very own @kellyolynyk for director @parkseaman and @impossiblestudiosinc.

NEW WORK: The Never Ending Drive for Ronald McDonald House Charities (Director’s Cut). Had a great time shooting this project for director @adrianvieni. We were tasked with shooting 5+ environments with 15 in-camera cuts, while maintaining a single 110 degree consistent parallaxing camera movement around a moving vehicle. To make the effect feel more seamless, we programmed a series of lighting cues to correspond with each driving plate, which we then timed to perfectly align with each cut. Thanks to the help of the fine folks over at @2dhouse, we used a combination of motion control robotics and volumetric shooting to help achieve the vision. Shot on the Alexa 35 on a bolt mini moco robot. 

Proud of this one, and grateful for a great team to pull this all off together. Thank you Adrian and Impossible studios for having me on board!

Washed Out - "Waking Up" a solar eclipse live performance, nominated at this year’s UK MVA’s.
 We spoke to DP @adammadrzyk on why he chose ALEXA 35 for this incredible single take live performance: “We shot his one-take music video during the solar eclipse in Bandera, TX, on April 8, 2024. The live performance was meticulously timed to capture the transition from day to night and back to day, all within the 4 minutes of totality.

Our wonderful director @jonahaber came up with this brilliant concept. To time the full performance to the eclipse, involved some seriously precise calculations. Perhaps the largest challenge was figuring out a way to balance our exposure and the lighting for a frame that we wouldn't see until 1 minute into the take, with no ability to adjust or do another take. Jonah spent weeks of studying exposure graphs during past eclipses to help me predict exactly how greatly our exposure was going to shift during totality, which then dictated which settings we wanted to maintain for both day and night, as well as how far we needed to set our lamps to maintain the right visual balance. I opted for the ALEXA 35 due to its extended sensitivity mode, which allowed me to enhance the natural ambient light during totality. Even at 3200 ES, the ALEXA 35 maintained an incredibly impressive amount of highlight and low light range, which  ensured proper exposure in both day/night ambient environments without having to iris pull.” Director: @jonahaber Artist: @realwashedout Producer: @carina.mak Creative Rep / BTS Photo: @cheyennecody Director Rep: @larkcreative DP: @adammadrzyk First AC: - @iamjtek Steadicam: @quaidcdebaca Grip / Gaffer: Reece Moffatt Swing: @benveeten Colourist: @clintonhomuth Sound Design: @gluch_ Commissioner: @merepaul Special thanks: @filicefilms @revoltcamera   #capturedwithARRI #ARRI #ALEXA35 #cinematography #musicvideo #inspiringimages

Very proud to share this recent project I shot for director @averystedman_ and RBC which was broadcasted nationwide during the Canadian Open. It was an honour to be able to tell this iconic Canadian story for @nicktaylorgolf. Golf gives me great joy as a hobby outside of film, so having an opportunity to blend those two worlds together - plus travel to both Pheonix, Arizona & Vancouver BC, felt like a total dream. Shout out to @keyonslowly , @miloshmariya and the team at @wasserman &  @escurostudios for all the hard work that went into this one.
