Our latest promo was shot in Rancho Santa Fe, just out side San Diego. Jeff and Erin Youngren had me come down with the goal of capturing their personalities and shooting styles to create something to promote the experience of working with them. I met Jeff and Erin for the first time the night before the shoot and right away I knew it was going to be an easy shoot. Jeff and Erin are not only very nice and very genuine, they are passionate about their work and that always make for a good promo. To take a phrase from Jeff, we had a totally rad time.

Why is it that when I’m in Vegas time seems to stand still? A four night stay can seem like 2 weeks yet on the flight home I look back and think, wow, that flew by. Regardless it was a blast.

 

Abby and I packed our things a week ago to head to the dessert for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons was to work with a new client, Graphistudio, which was a pleasure. We look forward to working with Graphi in the future(more to come on Graphi in future posts). Another reason Abby and I went was to meet old friends and make new ones, and we definitely accomplished that. Lastly we wanted to party a bit :) which went hand in hand with seeing old friends. Good times!

 

One of the coolest things that happened at WPPI was also unexpected. People knew me :) and not to boast but it’s a stark difference to my experience last year when we shot our first projects as Lorimerworks(Vegas Love Story and the Super Swanky Soiree) where we knew four or five people. We received so many compliments from people we just met, people stopping me, people recognizing “Anton” on my badge, etc. I was overwhelmed and Abby and I are so grateful for all the kind words, kudos and encouragement we received. THANK YOU!!!

We shot many promos this year but none that brought us further from home than the project with Tomas Flint.
I had the pleasure of meeting Tomas early last year through friends Ann Hamilton and Gene Higa. Tomas is as laid back and sincere as he is talented, we clicked from the start.
So what did we do? We followed Tomas through the streets of New York to the beaches of the Caribbean to put together his promo video and had quite a bit of fun along the way.We shot Tomas everywhere from Grand Central station and Williamsburg Brooklyn to the beaches and resorts of Puerto Rico to create this fast paced story that captures Tomas’ personality and energy.
Thanks Tom!

Am I a day late and a dollar short on the news that “Voyage” is up on the Canon site? Possibly, however, with a new blog I think I’m entitled to a little catch up :)

Well here it is, the video that was shot by Bob Davis using the Canon 5D MarkII and edited by Lorimerworks.
Bob, who is a Canon Explorer of Light, did an awesome job with the shoot and provided a great write up here.
I was honored that Bob wanted me to edit the piece and together I think we made a great team.
For those interested in the post production: The raw files were converted to Apple ProRes, edited on FCP and filtered using Magic Bullet.

Watch the HD version here on the Canon Site or watch the Standard Def version below.
