Flamenco
Director
A short dance film to demonstrate the TrueMotion software we used to generate this video at 24FPS from a 120FPS master stereo capture with Arri Alexa XTs. Shown also in 3D at 24FPS and 60FPS for the most comfortable 3D viewing and to demonstrate use of a synthetic shutter for creative variations.
Hyena Road
First Assistant Camera
Three different men, three different worlds, three different wars – all stand at the intersection of modern warfare – a murky world of fluid morality where all is not as it seems.
Natasha
First Assistant "A" Camera
Natasha takes place over the course of one summer. It is the story of Mark Berman, 16, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants living in the suburbs north of Toronto. When his uncle enters into an arranged marriage with woman from Moscow, the woman arrives in Canada with her fourteen year-old daughter, Natasha. Mark, a slacker, is conscripted by his parents to take responsibility for the strange girl. He learns that, in Moscow, she’d led a troubled and promiscuous life. A secret and forbidden romance begins between the two of them that has bizarre and tragic consequences for everyone involved.
