This is an older project and a simple one that I shot myself using two cameras, operating them both to reduce costs. Video content and video marketing doesn’t need to be complicated but I does require a certain level of professionalism or you may be doing more damage than good. The following is a basic interview with Edmonton Artist, Zard Sarty, and the work he does with chaos theory. I did…
This week, my wife ordered me a special gift . Its the 20th anniversary edition of Bush’s Sixteen Stone, remastered on vinyl. This album is significant for me and not only helped me become a professional videographer, but also taught me some lessons in customer service. Bare with me as I explain how a grunge album from the 90’s played such a vital role in my life. When this album came out, I…
Not all the video production I do requires a lot of pre-production, in fact 80% of the work I do is simply a matter of understanding the project, showing up, recording something and making an edit out of it.

I recently built and launched an Edmonton based photography site that will showcase my journey from digital photography to film. It’s a personal site with mostly shots of my family and friends. All the pictures on the site are photographed with vintage lenses that I have been acquiring this past year for use in my video productions. I find the older lenses from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s to be among the best ever…
I have begun focusing some of my attention towards another one of my passions, and that’s photography. I am trying to take advantage of our beautiful fall and I am looking for couples and families who are interested in doing an outdoor portrait sessions.
