Short action scene directed by Peter Marron featuring yours truly.

This was perhaps my biggest film project yet. I was asked to come on to act and ended up becoming responsible for the entire post-production process.
Basically, my buddy Pete asked me to act in his first film he wanted to shoot...a special effects heavy John Woo-inspired gunfest. Not exactly the type of film you want to do on your first try, but whatevs. What really is great about this piece is that it succeeded on passion alone...I was the only one with film/acting experience on the shoot, working with a cast of people who had never acted before, doing some complicated choreography and filming techniques, without storyboards/reherasals/intricate pre-planning. Basically we all showed on spot, and despite the inherent challenges and 100+ degree weather in that warehouse (it was HOT)...we managed to make it work, and work damn well.

I took on responsibility for technical assistance and stunt choreography during the shoot. Afterwards, I played a much greater role, doing all of the post-production myself. This was a huge project, involving over 1000 frames of special effects, lots of audio effects, music editing in Audacity, color correction in AfterFX, and more.

Despite all the challenges, this ended up exceeding everyone's expectations. I'm happy with how it turned out, and I hope you enjoy it as well :)

  • Great stuff! Get control of the light and you'll really have some great stuff!

    Tom, you rocked, brother.

    Thanks Will! I wanted to do lighting effects work (muzzle flash reflection), as well as more SFX (sparks flying, bullet impacts) but just didn't have the time, between school, work and everything else I was just barely able to do the effects you see here. However, I have messed with lighting before, and you're right...its truly something sexy when you get it right.

    You should send me a message through here, update me on your life. Its been too long!

see all
