***21JUN2011 - If you watched the premiere of ABC's "COMBAT HOSPITAL" tonight then you saw some of my Afghanistan footage, it's being used for establishing shots in the series.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWlkTq…

***29SEP2009 - Just got notified that Helewidis just put up an interview she conducted with me a little while back: news.deviantart.com/article/94…

When I was notified that I would be deploying again, I wasn't so much excited as to my actual job (which is definitely kick-ass), but that I would be able to film again our service members in action overseas.  Not just that, but that this time I would be able to do so at a quality unseen since WWII/Viet Nam when film was still used for motion acquisition.  You've seen some of the stills I've taken this time, but the following is where my passion lies:

Though the actual quality of the footage I shot was film resolution (4K) you'll get an idea of the quality through that link.  I am trying to find the right person at the right influence to put together an specialized filming unit at the national level and will be using the potential this new technology offers as the cornerstone to the argument that the concept of posterity and modern archival footage has been killed by video and is now an option again that we're letting slide by basically six years into these operations around the world.

Even if my quest never succeeds, I will have captured that high quality footage when officially no one was even trying (I've contacted the DOD, DVIDS, AFN, etc.).  And in that alone, I have achieved a real dream of mine and can move on if nothing comes to fruition.

Hopefully you find value in such imagery because that's why I want to film it, for dissemination at any level, and at a quality the subject matter deserves.

...wouldn't believe"

in Sony CineAlta 4K Projection

Just got back from the Los Angeles premiere of "Blade Runner: Final Cut" in all it's, remastered GLORY. It's playing at the Landmark theater here in LA and some other theater in New York for a couple weeks.

The VFX supervisor and remastering project coordinator along with Alan Ladd Jr. (who greenlighted this as well as Star Wars and Aliens etc.) were there as well.

For fans of the film, they did a spectacular job with the remastered scenes and especially with the audio--Vangelis sounded brilliant--it was awesome. The upcoming re-releases on DVD (and the HD variants) should prove to be crowd pleasers.

:salute:

P.S.
Most of my time is spent filming, so I post on youtube as well at For the rest of the story see past Journals starting here: mrglory.deviantart.com/journal…

Here's the full update

***10AUG06***  I've hosted the best quality version of the theater ad I can find here www.warriorswithwrenches.com/s…

***08AUG06***  The National Guard theater ad is out!  See www.military.com/features/0,15… for the press release.  Some of the footage I shot made it in.  They did an outstanding job editing/scoring as well.  Watch for it in the theaters, I'll post a link when I find one ***

***MARCH06***After doing odds and ends with the National Guard for most of last year while finishing up most of the last bits of school, I finally landed in a  position to film and edit various videos on the civilian side.  At the same time, I was selected to be a cameraman on their upcoming film campaign that will feature a brief "trailer" like film to be shown in theaters, showcasing the Guard's homeland role.  I got to attend a week of training in Hollywood with their hired agency, which included a workshop at Panavision using their super-swank Panavised Sony F900 HD cameras.

So far I've filmed some helicopter footage and interviews.  I can't wait to see which, if any, of my shots end up in the final product.

The new job had me moving half way across the country, which has been quite an interesting change of pace.  At the same time I transferred out of the Army National Guard into the Air Force National Guard, so I'll be attending a few months of training later this year.  Figured since I was going to be making videos for the Army as a civilian, might as well get the benefits of the Air Force side of the military ;).

I'm still in the process of moving, and will be off to the training later this year, but I'll continue to post here and there.  I'll be updating the "Scrap" section with some behind the scenes photos from the last shoot I was at (filming at the Golden Gate bridge).

:salute:

***21MAR06*** I finished a trailer for my "documentary" that I filmed while on my deployment. The link is in the poll mrglory.deviantart.com/journal… it's a 9MB WMV

Prints

How do they look?

I noticed the print sales picking up recently, if you purchased one and get this journal, I'd love to hear how they look, whether they could use some refinement at whatever size you purchased them at (via comment to this journal or private note).

Either way I hope you like it!

I'm still dealing with my transfer from Army to Air Guard and a move across the country, but I'll be keeping an eye out for photogenic moments.

Happy holidays everyone!

According to horai anyway comments.deviantart.com/1/2191… =p

I photographed another wedding for a friend this past weekend at Shaver Lake, CA.  I'm going to put up a couple choice shots.

A big update coming soon, including the fact that I'm now transferring to the Air Force National Guard...
