Miami Documentary Premiere

Well, it's not everyday that you shutdown your computer after the workday to attend a movie premiere. It gets even better when you're attending the screening for your own film, and in a few hours "Hecho a Mano" will hit the big screen here in Miami at the Miami Short Film Festival.

Produced by Common Machine Production, this is my first full credit as Director of Photography. Creating this film was a labor of love for everyone involved and I believe it shows in the final piece. I want to congratulate the incredible team of talented folks who made this film what it is:

Producers: Brett O'Bourke and Gaspar González

Director: Brett O'Bourke

Writer: Gaspar González

Editor: Christina Burchard

Assoc. Producer: Christine Sylvain

"Hecho a Mano" will be shown nationally on WLRN in February 2011.

Finally, we've earned a bit of street credit by receiving Best Florida Documentary at the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival last month.

Vintage Mavens - Video Look Book #2

Vintage Mavens - Video Look Book from Richard Patterson on Vimeo.

Collaborations are in my opinion some of the best opportunities to create without the fear of failure, restrictions of a client, or the tensions associated with deadlines. On a recent Sunday afternoon, Jorge Rubiera and I, got together on Miami Beach to create the second installment to the Vintage Mavens online clothing line campaign created by Shareen Sarwar.

We used the 7D and a Bartech wireless focus control on a glidecam for this shoot, and the ISO ranged from 400 - 12,000. Luckily the moon was full that evening which created a beautiful backlight on the water. We used a regular flash light for the fill / gag lighting once the sun went down and the layering effect helped with the digital noise produced from the high ISO.

Cheers.
