// May 24th, 2007 // No Comments » // Film & Movies, Projects

Paul DeNigris asked me to be DP (Director of Photography) for a short spoof he Directed for the MTV Movie awards. As with most of Paul’s projects I was thrilled to be invited and esthetically accepted is invite!

It’s a spoof and Snakes On A Plan, and regardless if you seen the movie if you don’t mined bleeped out language and campy humor, you’ll love it!

Check it out RIGHT HERE and give 5 stars! The creators of the top 5 films are flown to L.A. for the MTV Movie Awards! You have to vote before May 29th I believe so we could use your help!

Leave a comment here, and let me know what you thought about the film!

Thanks a million!

And The Crowd Went Wild!

Rachel sang the National Anthem at the start of the Sun’s game last Wednesday, and she did it beautifully! I was allowed to go down onto the court with her, so I got it on tape! This is probably the worst job of filming I’ve ever done, but at least you get the idea.

Screen Wars

// January 18th, 2007 // No Comments » // Film & Movies, Projects

So “Consumed” aired last night on an AZTV show called “Screen Wars”. It’s basically a film competition between indie filmmakers around the area, and the winner of the whole shabang gets their entry shown at the Phoenix Film Festival!

The outcome is determined by the viewers. The short with the most votes goes on to the next round. Check out ScreenWars.net to vote for the current films competing. I’d appreciate your vote, but of course, only vote for the short film you feel is the best!

It’s A Boy!!!

I called it! From the get go I said it was going to be a boy and it is! Now, I’d have been just as excited and still completely in love with my child even if it turned out to be a girl, but I’m mainly just excited ’cause I was right! I called it!

If you want to see some updated sonogram pictures you can checkout Rachel’s MySpace Page, and go to her pictures. She posted some up there.

“Peanut” Allen

Wow… wow. People have been having babies for thousands of years, but this still blows my mind! I don’t think we were expecting to actually see a baby when we went for Rachel’s sonogram this past Friday. I was more expected to see something resembling a walnut, not an actual baby shaped person! Ironically they said that right now he/she’s the size of a peanut, hence-forth the pre-gender name will be “Peanut”.

Rachel’s parents drove out here from Texas to spend the weekend, and it just so happened they were here when we had to do the sonogram – pretty cool. I know they enjoyed being able to get a first look at their new – and first! – grandchild.

Crazy.

Rachel is doing well as far as pregnant women go during this faze. The ETA is May 23^rd for the little guy/gal, and we will probably know the sex at our next Dr.’s visit in about four weeks! Pretty exciting stuff!

We’ll keep you posted!

EPIC

I just finished this teaser trailer for Cornerstone’s new series called “Epic.” Daniel Baranowsky was gracious enough to let me use this one minute piece he composed a while back. Let me know what you think!

Rachel Allen to Sing the National Anthem

// October 13th, 2006 // 3 Comments » // Relativity

So this is pretty cool! A few weeks ago Rachel went and tried out in front of a panel of judges to sing the National Anthem for the Phoenix Suns’ home games. Several weeks past, and we hadn’t heard anything, so we figured she just didn’t make the cut.

But a couple days ago Rachel got a call from the Phoenix Suns asking her to sing the National Anthem in mid March – when she’ll be a lovely 6 months pregnant! Won’t that be a story to tell the little one.

“See, Jr.? This is you at your first Suns game!”

I just hope this doesn’t some how pre-infect our child with some sort of “sports-fever.”

Anyway, Rachel is pretty excited about it – as she should be – and I think it’s pretty cool. Maybe I’ll stand up and yell, “That’s my wife!!!” when it’s all over with. It’ll be my own little claim to fame.

I just finished a motion graphics lead in for Cornerstone. They provided me with the logo, and I had to animate it, and make a short intro. Here it is…
