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!

Remix Nature!

So, remember the Oregon State Lottery commercial I did a couple months back? Well, now they've launched a website where you can remix audio clips/samples from when we were shooting, and make your very own song!

Check out the one I made HERE

You can add to it, or clear it and make your own. This is wild!

Also, just found out I'm on another billboard, this time for this OSL campaign. I think it's on NE 28th and Glisan, but I haven't gone by there to check yet. Oh, and the Timbers billboard by Powell's was just taken down, but the one on Canyon Road is still up.

Em;ly

Slippage (continued)

Everyone says the Fall and Winter film and print markets here in Portland are the "Slow" times. But I am busy filming, auditioning, and booking job after job. Recently, all of the above happened on in one day.

I'll share what jobs I've booked/shot after the end product comes out. It's better when I can SHOW you.

We wrapped up filming on Slippage for the year (we resume in January 2011). We ended on a very cold and rainy night in the middle of a spooky forest.

Here are a few select photos from the last 2 weeks of filming (More can be found on the Slippage Facebook page):

And a screenshot of me looking upset about something (probably the main character, haha):
