Jade Rose Designs

A couple months ago I did a photo shoot for local designer Jade Rose Designs. Here are some of the shots! If you like her stuff, check out her website or etsy.

Opal Creek

Recently this winter I ventured on a hike in the beautiful Oregon woods with two photographers, one of whom is David Keller, a fellow marketing student (oh, did I tell you I added marketing as a 2nd major?) and aspiring filmmaker. He was shooting film and the above portrait is from that day. (Oh! It's the shirt again! Bonus points to anyone who can count all the times this shirt appears in my blog...)

I had my digital camera with me and took some shots of the landscape. I'm pretty excited about them, they will make great studies for landscape paintings later. Don't be fooled... I can photograph nature alright but couldn't take a good portrait if my life depended on it!

Nightscape ADR

I spent two days in January in the studio doing ADR work with Jason Edwards, sound designer on Nightscape. What is ADR I hear you ask? It stands for Automatic Dialogue Replacement. It's needed when the sound guy screws up. Just kidding! It's to get cleaner, better quality dialogue reads, to get an alternate line delivery, or to dub over OTS (Over The Shoulder) shots with different dialogue if the scene was altered drastically in editing. Basically, it makes the movie better and gives the director more options in the editing room.

It was kind like playing a video game or Operation because of the precision required for a good take. I also had to do things like breathe, sigh, sniff, scream and cry, matching it all to the film. It was fun resurrecting Kat's southern accent for a while, and was the first time I got to see the cut together scenes. It looks so good! Still needs color correction, SFX, titles, and the rest of the audio FX. Definitely does NOT look like an "indie" film. (Not that that's a bad thing.) I can't wait!

TOASTED

My band Monster-Sized Monsters is all over the soundtrack for this stoner comedy "TOASTED" set in 1996 as an unaired web series pilot. Check it out, and you'll hear bits of a dozen or so of our songs all throughout the show!



Directed/written/shot/edited by James Westby (Rid Of Me). Acted by super awesome local Portland talent!

Searching For Yellow

Teaser trailer for Searching For Yellow, a short, semi experimental, independent film shot in Eugene, Oregon. I play the girl. The gentleman is played by Robert Beam. To me this film is about the beauty and sadness of the moments where deep, complicated feelings cannot be expressed we well as we would like. Music by Loch Lomond. Directed/written/edited/shot by Ian Clark.
