Travel Pictures

I have gone through all of my pictures and have found some great pictures from my trip to New York. Here are a few panoramic pictures I took:

PhillM tip-of-the-day:
Some students asked my today for advice on choosing film schools and I told them this, in the end: film school is film school and the same complaints people had at San Francisco State are the same complaints I hear from people at USC, NYU, Columbia, Full Sail, AFI, UCLA, Chapman, Brooks, Art Institute and so on. Of course these schools(and complaints) are different in degrees, but I found that the trick is that what ever school you go to- you will get out of it what you put into it. Yes, some schools have many sound stages, or top of the line lights or cameras, or even a backlot... but sometimes the less you have the better you have to be to be successful. This means that it is possible to come out with a degree from a state school having gotten a better education then from USC, AFI or NYU... but it's up to you to make that happen.

Max's Movie

Hey everyone, this is a movie my friend Max shot. It's a pretty dark story, but I love the black and white and the music is really amazing!

It's not who you know, it's who knows you.

Heart of the Argos Comes Alive!

Here is the highly anticipated sneak teaser for Heart of the Argos. It was taken from the video tap as we filmed the picture. So please ignore the cross hair and TV Safe lines and enjoy...

PhillM tip-of-the-day:
Remember that there are a million and one ways to make an eye light, but try to always get a source(light) hitting your subject from somewhere in the area of where the subject is looking... this will provide you a nice little hot spot right in the pupil.
