Introducing Cam Kennelston (test video)

in , , , ,

Meet Cam Kennelston.

In the 80's Cam was frontman for the band THE KENNELS. They broke up in the mid 90's and Cam is making a return to music going solo.

Here is Cam rehearsing to The Midnight's "Sunset".

I made a 2-minute test film today to see how Cam feels, and he feels gooood. . My wife Sara helped me cut a hair pattern and she sewed the hair on to Cam. I gave him a haircut and gave him an ankh earring I wore in high school to add a little something extra.

I am working on his voice as I type this. He’s British. His hair used to be more teased than it is now a days.

This is how I am dealing with the Covid-19 quarantine. By making puppet videos so I don't go crazy.

2019 Red River Theatres Oscar Portraits

This year I decided to kick it up a notch when it came to my contribution of sponsoring the annual Red River Theatres Red Carpet Oscar Party. Not only would I provide the photography for guests wanting to have their portrait taken with a real oscar, but I’d also do a separate series of portraits that I dubbed “Academy Portraits”. This would be for a small number of people, but would allow me to stretch out a little more while being part of the event.

Read all about it after the cut:

"It seems to have life ... organic life" • ALIEN

in , , ,

I love toys and action figures. I love Ridley Scott’s 1979 science-fiction masterpiece “ALIEN”. I especially love toymaker NECA and their toys based off of that film.

I took a week and sat down with some of these figures and created some small “moving stills” vignettes so that I could play with composition and moving the camera and smoke and lasers and all kinds of stuff.

Over the next three days I’ll be posting the three videos I created from that week of playing and experimenting. Some of these use audio and music from the 1979 film.

This is the 2nd of 3 posts.
