Las Vegas Job

Recently, I got a job working in Las Vegas for Michael Mann and Dante Spinotti - two of my favorite film makers - and spent 4 nights shooting from 2 PM to 6 AM. It was my first time in Vegas without being under the legal age, and so I got to spend some quality time in the casinos at 7 AM after getting off work with Jeremy:



I had a great time playing Roulette, and scoring chick-dudes off the strip. Hahahaa, just playing.



The cars on the job would get up to 150 MPH and then we shot a huge crash sequence. It was amazing to see these pro's working. Here's some more fotos:










Working for myself and maintaining creative control over my work is great, but working for famous people has it's upsides for sure.

La Jetée

Austin told me about this film and it has kind of haunted me ever since. I love the ideas and the methods used in this film. Experimentation with time, space, memory, insanity, images, and age are deconstructed in this thrilling film fabricated by the use of photographs instead of moving images. Voice over tells the story as if it is all just a book with photos. I am loving this method more and more each time I watch it. Here are some screenshots.
