Disney's Sneakerella had incredible shot ideas form Director @thisislizallen and choreography team @ebonywilliamsworld, @iamemiliodosal, and @chrislxd who all won Emmys for their craftsmanship. The idea for this shot was pitched by everyone over zoom using finger puppets not knowing if the concept was possible. Lead @chosenjacobs gave everything to this performance with Johnny Clavecchia operating the technodolly.

@ladygaga promo with Director/Photographer @francescocarrozzini . Gaga was photographed with interactive lighting that evolved with her movements for a moving portrait billboard for apple retail store displays and all product screen savers to promote her #chromatic tour. Leica lenses with glimmer glass and a 4 point star filter. Lots of titan tubes and skypanels #leicasummilux #arrimini #ladygaga

This Body is a Shell

For decades I used to hate my disabled body. I would avoid mirrors. As as child, if there was a mirror in my room, I would turn it away so I did not have to see my body. This poem is a visual exploration of the war within and what is waiting on the other side.

Director @kylehausmannstokes , a Bronze Star paratrooper in the army, not only transformed a short film into a feature but also had to negotiate with Fred Specktor, CAA mega agent, to have Morgan Freeman appear in his @sxsw winning autobiographical film, “My Dead Friend Zoe.”

Kyle’s direction was straightforward: respect the subject matter, prioritize the story, ensure humor, and shoot on anamorphic.

We studied 90s anamorphic comedies noticed that the clean singles appeared more connected when shot on the 2.40 frames for comedy. Most of the film was shot using 50 and 65mm lenses. by @roematt

Tater Tot. Our first born, our #1 girl. Our house feels so empty without you. We’ll miss your cuddles, barks, and endless energy for play. Car rides will never be the same without your chin resting on our arms. You fought so hard for so long, we’ll miss you forever. We love you Tater 🤍 by @roematt
