I was hired to shoot a live performance of AIR REVIEW in a very unique setting for the band: the Church of the Incarnation in Dallas.
In the midst of stained glass and candle light this up-and-coming indie rock band performed a (sort of) acoustic set that was both intimate and rocking. It was a beautiful evening.
Originally we were just going to make a little promo video out of the content, but today AIR REVIEW released http://incarnation.airreview.net
I created a one page website where Acoustic at the Incarnation lives. Its a series of videos from that evening that will be released over time.
What do you think?
Here are some highlights from the video:

Testing my custom set up DSLR rig before flying out tomorrow to shoot Seryn (facebook.com/serynsound) in Atlanta.
My dslr rig with Canon 60D, hands-free shoulder mount, follow focus, 15mm rods, and tripod quick release mount with (borrowed) bogen manfrotto tripod.
Not pictured here is the shotgun mic and lcd monitor.
As indie filmmakers, we become experts in utilizing our resources. There are several things that are genius about this set up, most notably the price. I am able to acheive results and functionality of rigs in the range of $1500-3000 for under $400 (not including camera). Not only is the price of my set up unbeatable, its functionality is really smart. I can flawlessly go from tripod to shoulder mount in 3 seconds.

In these pictures you see me jamming on my little pearl jazz drumset. I love creating funky, jazzy, creative beats and rhythms. Sometimes I will spend 15 minutes trying to find that rhythm I'm thinking in my head. Its interesting to think about how the rhythms I create begin and end with me... where I hit the drums and where I don't. The rhythm is me in a sense - an extension of me.
Finding your rhythm in life isn't about drums. I thinks its about learning the flow, feeling, and function of whatever you want to be succesful with.
Whether its art, work, chores, some challenge, or a hobby, you find yourself doing your best when you "find your rhythm". Its the sense of the elements coming together and you get in the zone. When this happens there is a distinct quality to your effort that can be almost magical.
Like making beats on the drums, its in these moments where you are most connected to what you are doing. Its where what you "do" is more of an extension of your being, of who you are, than something separate from yourself.
Can you think about a time or a situation you found your rhythm? What were you doing?
