Shot at The Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica in August of 2011. The camera used was a Canon T2i and I switched between two primes, a 20mm and a 35mm. A lot of the footage was shot in 60fps and later conformed to 24fps with Cinema Tools. The overhead shots were done using a monopod. During the zip-lining at YS falls I was brave enough to strap my camera onto my chest and shoot the waterfall in slow mo as I swung by. I focused solely on beautiful cinematography without wanting to add a single frame of VFX to this piece. It should show you the amazing things you can do with a simple HDSLR and some great music and sfx! If you have any questions about cinematography or shooting in general, leave me a comment below and I'll answer them all. The music used here throughout the story is "The Winner Is" by Devotchka from the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack. If you've been following these short stories since last year, you'll recognize Alexandra, who's the girl (now my fiancee) but if you haven't had a chance to check the previous ones, I highly suggest you do!

This music video was shot in Transylvania and Bucharest in Mid-May 2011. Shot on the Canon T2i with a 35 mm lens. The aerial shots were filmed from a motorized paraglider (excuse the shakyness in some areas). It's basically just a steel cage with a canopy on top and a 4 stroke propeller in the back. The first castle is Bran Castle, also known as "Dracula's Castle". The rest of the footage was shot in and around the vicinity of Bucharest. I decided to use the Berliner Philarmonic version of the song because the score is just epic.

Here's an eccentric take on the concept behind stories told backwards. Due to that airplanes take off and land with similar trajectories we were able to reverse the beginning and end of our story and the result was us filming a leisure flight over the Los Angeles airspace where everything you see is going backwards. Please share this with your friends! The aircraft is a Cirrus SR-20 (www.cirrusdesign.com) with the Avidyne Entegra Avionics Suite. In case of an emergency, the aircraft has a ballistic rocket propelled parachute that will launch up and deploy, bringing the entire aircraft safely to the ground.
