This summer I’ve been working at a snail’s pace on the cut of En Route. During this time we’ve been accumulating even more material to fill in the gaps in the edit. Last week, Yotam Dor, my producer and main actor of the film, was able to get into a real live cockpit and shot some footage for the film!
Check out some of these beautiful stills, which have now found a place in the edit:
All shot with a Canon 5D Mark II. Looking forward to posting the trailer as soon as we have some completed VFX! The team is making awesome progress.

This announcement has been a long time coming. I’ve been working on this project in some capacity since last November… mulling over the concept, jotting down ideas, drafting the script, and gathering together interested parties.
But now we are only two weeks away from the shoot, and it is time to announce the project to the world:
Visit the official site.
“En Route” is 5-minute short film that follows the life of a pilot in reverse chronological order, from the moment of his death in a horrific plane crash, to a pivotal moment he experiences as a 7-year-old boy.
This film is by far my most ambitious project to date. Although the finished piece will be very short, the film involves a scene with the smoldering debris of a plane crash, multiple sequences involving a variety of aircraft, cockpit scenes, many different actors (some of whom play the same character!) and a number of locations. There’s a whole lot to take care of, but I’m really excited about how it’s coming together! Read the rest of this entry »

This year I decided to enter the PSAID competition again, which is focused on promoting cash donations, rather than the donation of goods, as the best method for disaster relief. Last year I won second place with “In Dire Need”, which you can watch here.
Here’s my entry for this year’s contest:

Unfortunately, I found out today that I did not make the final round.
I didn’t put as much time into this as I would have liked, but I’m pretty satisfied with the way it came out. Well, I’m satisfied with the latter 15 seconds. Well, I guess just the shot of the quarter. That shot is pretty cool.
But I finished it and got it out on time, and although it’s not my best work it’s certainly worth showing! Also, the music for this spot was done by Jasper Blunk. Let me know what you think.

It’s taken me a couple months to get to this, but I wanted to post the good news anyway.

Happy April Fools! It’s been over almost two months since I’ve updated my blog, but I’ve got a lot of stuff coming up. Stay tuned!
But first, here’s my third and final Video Sketch, which deals a little bit with the issue of inspiration, and the fleeting nature of ideas. This one is a little out there, but I think it turned out surprisingly well. Check it out:

The amazing music was composed by Jasper Blunk.
