McCain’s Concession Speech

At the end of such massive contest, both men had eloquent words to say – one of McCain’s best outings.

What was striking to me during this broadcast was the contrast between McCain’s crowd of supporters, and those gathered at Grant Park respectfully watching his last address.

The Promise 2nd Unit

I’m in Oxford, enjoying a short break after wrapping 2nd unit on “The Promise”, a documentary on Israel. While Jim van Dijk (Director) and Todd Williams (DP) ran main unit, I had the fun job. Four people and a van loaded with gear ran around Israel capturing unique and hidden images of the place.

Each night as I reviewed the day’s footage, I rendered out my favourite shot or two along with some stills. I threw them into Final Cut to give you a quick sample of some of what we shot. Click the image above to view the reel.

Josh Garrels: Jacaranda

Jacaranda

Though we never ended up meeting, I had the pleasure of working with Josh Garrels last year, creating visuals for a concert in Vancouver. His music has a haunting, soulful quality that I really enjoy. His new album, “Jacaranda”, has just been released.

Check out some samples on his site, JoshGarrels.com. Then head on over to the store or to iTunes and pick yourself up a copy.
