A still from the set of Blues Brothers 2000. Although you can't make them out in this picture,the likes of Eric Clapton, BB King, Steve Winwood, Clarence Clemens, Bo Diddley, and many more rock & roll greats are jamming to the consternation of director John Landis. I hired another crew to shoot with me for the three days out of 20 that these masters of their universe were in the movie.

One of the really special professional perks of doing DVD shooting on movie sets, is meeting and talking to some of the greats. Here I’m with Jack N. Green, the DOP of many Clint Eastwood movies, including "Unforgiven". He gave me a few pointers on how to light Meg Ryan, on the set of "Against The Ropes."

I'm on the main set piece of a small intimate movie for Showtime based on the life of Great Gatsby writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.The opposite of the Blues Brothers movie, it was just as interesting to shoot, and the interviews with Jeremy Irons, Neve Campbell and Sissy Spacek were a treat.

No, we are not doing the DVD of a Lawrence of Arabia re-make…but it is about 100 degrees on the set of a John Landis movie, and we might be hiding. Premier producer Doug McCally and I are cooling down with camphor towels, waiting for the next take.

Worked on Literally Hundreds of films...

Having worked on film sets over the years doing EPK's and DVD’s, as well shooting for Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, and E! Entertainment, I have developed a keen sense of set etiquette. Besides being aware of set politics and the various hierarchies, I have an awareness of when to shoot, and perhaps just as important when not to shoot, or even look like I've been shooting. Anybody who has works on set knows what I'm talking about.

Being a IATSE member for almost a decade, I have worked with just about every film crew in Toronto, and some in Vancouver & Montreal. It means a lot to get that smile of recognition when I show up on set.

Despite being in the same union, I show the respect a visitor on a set should, and get that same respect in return. I also keep aware that I am NOT shooting the movie, I am shooting the Making Of The Movie - pull backs to reveal camera and lights, continuing to roll after a take to catch the directors instructions, or a laugh from the actors, watching for those moments that show the talent relaxed and human, and in the best light.

I've worked on stunt movies, love movies, action movies, special FX movies - you name it. I work with experienced sound people, and can shoot unsupervised on a "B" roll day, if sending a producer isn't necessary.

I also work with a number of field producers & interviewers, hired through AceCam if needed.
