I learned last week that a show reel that I'd been asked to produce/shoot/edit didn't result in a sale after being pitched for ten months. Not all that bummed out as that's just the way things go in this game, but I was particularly proud of the reel that we ended up with. The concept was not my idea and the content itself is not my cup of tea, but I think that we did a pretty good job shooting it on such a tight schedule.
A friend of mine, Gregg Therieau, a directory of photography based in Atlanta led the shooting, though a good chunk of the camera work in this piece is mine. All of the interview setups and lighting were his and it's always fun to watch him work - I always learn a ton as he's a working DP who has worked on just about every major reality show out there.
Gregg has been with me on my reality journey since day one really, and it's great to still count him as a member of my little "go team" for projects like this.
