Can We Talk

A few weeks ago I decided to shoot something random. Not really random it was an idea derived from a random action. A day or 2 before the shoot I started singing in my car uncontrollably. So what became an act of spontaneity, turned into a whole new project to shoot.

This is a set I did with Leilani a few months back off Malibu somewhere. Beautiful scenery, beautiful woman, equals beautiful photos.

I went looking for a place for my next shoot. Richie came along with me. What was just a test shoot became a art video all on its own. LOL

My heart goes out to Japan. May they find strength in these dark days.

Make You Feel My Love

FINALLY. After 2 weeks of waiting its finished. This is my first video I've done in a narrative form in a long time. I want to increase my storymaking skills so this year I plan on honing in on that. The productions notes are in the video description on youtube. Enjoy. :)

This is the first video labeled under the Kreative Havok name. There will be more to come please check the links on the video and subscribe!

Another video

Last month I was offered a gig by this music producer named Ro. He wanted to shoot something to describe the feeling of his upcoming album, almost like a commercial. But he wanted it to have some sort of emotional connection to the viewer. His idea was to shoot his friend Ace, and make the audience feel like they were riding with him. At the same time connecting to the music.

So one day we met up at Griffin Observatory and shot Ace riding his bike downhill several times. We used my Canon 7d, 24-70mm lens and car mount attached to my 501hdv manfrotto fluid head. Along with my 70-200mm f/4 lens. Afterwards I edited on FCP (which Im still getting used to, been a pc all my life.) Color correction in Aftereffects using Vintage Looks in Magic Bullet.

It came out fairly decent. Definitely glad I kept my car mount after all these years. It was like 7 years since I last used it. Amazing, it still works. I have to edit a shorter version soon. Enjoy.

A commercial we did

As of late I've been coming up with a whole set of videos to shoot. Problem is shooting them. Making it happen. So I plan on. Shooting every week, and wekeend if possible. To get this done by my 30th birthday.

We shot this a few months back for General Electric. Im still proud of it. Namely because I made this happen in 2 days with the help of my visual fx person friend Charles Collyer and sound designer Raerae Lafemme. My good friend Richie Greenfield provided the office to shoot in. We didn't make the cut, but we got a gift certificate. Which was good enough for me.

Watch and enjoy
