Memphis, TN:

I am pleased to announce this opportunity to work with Ryan Parker (DP) on these potentially global spots!

Cars:
Any recent Chevy (needs to be in decent shape)

Email photos to chevy@newperspectivefilms.com. Use “[YEAR + MODEL]” for the subject heading (example: 2009 SILVERDADO).

Location:
Two story home with driveway and garage/carport. Ideally a spare bedroom or room that looks like a teenage boy’s room looking out over the driveway, though we can cheat just about anything. A few shots will take place in the bedroom and hall, the rest of it will take place in the garage and on the driveway. The crew is tiny (4 people) and will not need access to any other rooms or areas of the house. Please take a photo of the front of the house, and one of the hall leading to the bedrooms, and a photo of the spare (or boy’s) bedroom and email them to chevy@newperspectivefilms.com. Use “LOCATION” for your subject heading.”

Actors:

Shooting Tuesday, January 24th | 11:30am to 5:30pm
Male: mid 30s to mid 40s
Female: early 30s to early 40s
Girl: 13-15
Boy: 9-14

Shooting Friday, January 27th | 7:30am to 1:30pm
Male: mid-late teens
Female: mid-late teens
Female: early to late 40s

Please email photos and a little info about yourself to: chevy@newperspectivefilms.com. Use “ACTOR [+ ROLE LISTED ABOVE]” for the subject. (example: ACTOR: FEMALE EARLY TO LATE 40s). You DO NOT need to send duplicates if you want to be considered for more than one part. Simply note that in the BODY of your email.

This is gonna be fun!

Happy New Year!

Wow, where does a month go? Family visits around the holidays and a dear friend from Australia in town recently have made the past few weeks a whirlwind of fun and work–an ideal combo!

In addition to a few funded specs for Chevy, I’ve been working hard on a screenplay which is coming along great. I’m really looking forward to sharing more about how these projects develop over the coming weeks and months.

For now, check out the latest project from New Orleans organ wizard, Mr. Quintron. He is one of my favorite music artists in the world! If you’re not familiar with his work or his hand-made analog drum machines, the Drum Buddy, you should be! His latest record was recorded at the New Orleans Museum of Art during a three month residency/performance art installation. Great stuff! More about that here. For now, here’s a promo for his latest project, the Singing House.

Stay tuned for more–from both of us!

Prichard Smith – Motion Picture Editor

Here’s a quick shout-out for my friend, Prichard Thomas Smith, a fellow Memphis native. Since moving to New York City in 2004, Prichard has been hard at work editing three feature films and numerous web and promotional clips. Though not necessarily a skill I list on my CV, I was happy to make a website for him (now that he’s a big-timer with a rep and all).

Canon EOS C300 Camera Test

Geoffrey Brent Shrewsbury — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:38:11 +0000

My buddy Jon Yi worked with Canon on the release of their new C300. It looks amazing…as displayed in his camera test (which has already garnered 100,000 views in 24 hours!).

From Jon’s Vimeo page:

In early Fall 2011, I shot some footage with a pre-production model of the Canon EOS C300 for one week in NYC. I created an article and a video for Canon based on my experiences with the camera. The video is meant to poke fun at most camera test videos I’ve seen over the years. Canon, not thrilled with my sense of humor, does not credit or condone this video, but I think it shows a lot of the camera’s strengths.

You can read my full article about the EOS C300 here. I believe that Canon made a beautiful camera that is sensible, reliable and portable in a way that I’ve always dreamed a camera could be. It prioritizes great skin tone and has higher ISO sensitivity than any other camera out there.

I know there’s nothing I can say to change the minds of the RED fan club. For the rest of the skeptics, I think once you get your hands on it you’ll understand how great this camera really is. Please buy this camera in January and go film some good skin tones in the dark. You’ll love it.

Thanks go out to all my friends for helping me with this.

Nice work, Jon!!

My friend Melissa Dunn (who production designed 17 Inch Cobras) is currently showing her work at the Dixon museum in Memphis. I thought her works on paper were exceptionally extraordinary.
