Different Poses

Over the past six months I have had the pleasure of working on a short film written and directed by one of my all-time favorite creative minds, Ms. Jenny Plante. The fact that she is also my cousin is irrelevant but an added bonus is that this allows us to block scenes out telepathically. The film "Different Poses" is in its final stages of post-production but here are some stills I was able to grab from the compressed version. Upon completion it will be sent out to various International and National Film Festivals.

Cinematography by Dylan Law, Digital photography by Jenny Plante, Assistant Photography by Tom Crenshaw.

Rainy day to replicate.

I love a good challenge. I also love putting effort into developing pieces over multiple drafts or efforts, but rarely have the excuse/time/or energy to do so. I was recently commissioned to replicate a painting I did a year ago of my grandfathers bass. I took the photograph in 2007 for a film class, then painted it in 2008. The challenge here was that I had one day to do it.

Grandfathers Standup, 2007

Grandfathers Standup (oil pastel on Canvas) 2008

This is about 1/3 way through, all I had for a camera here was the one on my mac which clearly isn't the best. I wanted to fine tune this version. The painting is going to a Berklee professor and it'd be slightly embarrassing if it looked like a mess.

For this version I decided to use acrylic instead of oil pastel, and for a background I applied a cracking undercoat to the gold base.
