Jumping for JWT
Originally, we hoped to shoot in LA after the last shoot but with recent rains the lakes dropped to 52 degrees. … This was a combination of stills and video, including some water footage with a 5D in a housing. 
Tiamo Love
My family complains that I always disappear when it gets cold to the Caribbean or Los Angeles but you can’t shoot active outdoor lifestyle in Central Park at 20 degrees. … Tiamo Resorts has ten cottages on the beach in such a remote section of the island you can only get there by boat.
On the Set
It’s been a while since I have written here on what’s going on. It’s been a crazy and intense few months and I hope to catch up with you here. It seems like advertising has re-launched. I have been very busy shooting a number of projects. I don’t know whether it was the rush to [...]

USPS Ad Shoot
I can’t show you the final shot but we shot at the Thom Bar with a main talent and several extras…. The background I use hot lights lke source fours and HMI’s to alow me to see the lighting as well as apply some blur if I want to.
AAS–Casting
The casting is being done by my long time casting director Stephanie Cohen (who also produces sometimes for me).(www) She casts in video for me because I like to see how well the talent can act…. After she completes her casting day, the shoot is upload to a website so that the AD and I can pick out selects.
