  • Video Blog: Shooting on an Old Lens (Mathieustern Production)

    Ever wondered what might happen if you attached a really old-school lens onto your mirrorless camera? I have. Fun fact, Mathieu Stern (Mathieustern Production) has wondered about this too.

    Releasing the first part of his new web-series on Monday, Stern – a French web video producer and photographer based in Paris – is focusing solely on what kind of “weird” lenses can be mounted on a mirrorless digital camera. The premise is simple and elegant: what visuals can come of such mismatched pairings?

    In this first clip, Stern tests a 1910 folding camera lens on a Sony A7II: going through several steps, an Eastman Kodak Kodex / Topaz Boyer Paris f6.3 120mm is finally let loose upon the digital landscape! If you’re familiar with the properties of old lenses, you probably won’t be too surprised by the look of the final footage. Nevertheless, I still find the finished result nostalgically pleasing.

  • Showreel Item – All of The Lights Cover

    There are people you work with – and then there are people you really enjoy working with! Reichardt is someone that I definitely enjoy working with. He is an amazingly talented guy: like, he is an über-musician, and is increasingly the, “go-to producer and instrumentalist for bands and artists [Australia] wide.”1

    Over the last little while, I have produced 4 music videos for Reichardt. And like many other firsts in life – it was a thrill to see him release the first of those videos last month. Having given him a month to garner some of his own views, I am finally happy to post the clip as a show-reel item today. I hope you enjoy it: both the clip, and Reichardt’s cover of Kanye West’s All of the Lights. 🙂

  • Personal: A Snap Shot

    In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, and the subsequent cognitive disruption many are experiencing in the Arabic-speaking North Africa and Middle Eastern (NAME) world as further atrocities are enacted in the name of the dominant religion in the region – it was personally encouraging as a Christian to find that there are organisations that are looking to engage in a spiritual dialogue with these questioning Arabs. As such, this year I made the move from Australia to begin working with one such media organisation – ******** (the name has been intentionally obscured for security purposes).

    It has taken some time to settle in: but things are finally moving forward – as demonstrated with this – one of the first pieces I contributed to – going live recently. As such, I am comfortable enough to share my work with the blogosphere – and I hope that you enjoy it!
