Dasein: The Art of Being

I shot and edited this short documentary for Chase Jarvis during his month-long artist in residency at the Ace Hotel in New York City.  Minimal gear, no crew, just two dudes hanging out in New York and making art.  

 

 

Took my new Panasonic GH4 for a spin around Seattle to put it through its paces. My main focus was to test the dynamic range and see how well it takes grading. Most of the video was shot handheld with the Panasonic 12-35mm. All of the aerial footage was shot handheld with a SmallHD DP4-EVF for some extra stability. I'm very pleased with the results. https://instagram.com/erockshakur https://www.erikhecht.com https://www.thecameramancan.com Music Credits: "As Colorful As Ever" by Broke For Free (http://brokeforfree.com)

Seattle in 4k

What better way to test a new camera than to hang off the side of a helicopter with it?

 


Unnatural Selection

I spent several weeks spying on Michael Alm with my camera to make this promo video for his Unnatural Selection collection.  A 20 minute version of this video played on a loop at the opening night to give gallery-goers a glimpse into the magnitude of work that went into creating the art pieces.  

 

 

 

Benevolent Mischief [autograffiti remix]

I "remixed" Chase Jarvis' short film Benevolent Mischief into a music video for Seattle hip hop artist Ra Scion, [who starred in the original short].  I was the director of photography for the musical performance scenes, as well as a camera operator for the original piece and the editor for both videos.  

 

 

 

Coloro

I thought up the idea for this video while cleaning up some spilt orange juice.  Then I shot it.  Then I sent it to my composer friend McKenzie Stubbert to make it better.  

 

 

 

REI Tech Trail Spot

I was the jib operator and editor for this broadcast spot for REI.  Porting the jib around the Lanikai Pill Box Trail was an excellent workout.
