So, over spring break we went to Maui and I knew I wanted to bring the camera even though I didn’t have any sort end goal in mind for what I wanted to do with the footage. Nick and I shot hours of footage (400+ gigs!), and as we neared the end of the trip I thought that a music video would work well with what we were getting (time lapse and slow motion surfers). I’d heard Sun Rise Light Flies on the pilot for David Milch’s underrated John from Cincinatti and I figured it gelled nicely with the footage.

I’m really happy with how the time lapse footage turned out, especially the one we got on top of the volcano next to the observatories. We’ve been trying to do more of it ever since we shot time lapse footage in New Zealand for one of our professor’s documentaries. If I could have done anything else, I’d go for more locations and try to get some movement within the shots.

We’re a little over a month away from graduation! We have another short we need to finish before then as well as a documentary, and we’re also determined to finish our feature spec scripts. Right now, it looks like LA is where we’ll be headed after graduation. New Zealand was our other option and it would be heaps (heaps!) more enjoyable than LA, but there isn’t that much work there at the moment. Then again there isn’t much work in LA, but we’ve got better chances there. We’ll be updating on our progress in moving there as it happens, and hopefully we’ll start posting the helpful stuff later in the week.
