Frost – Student Thesis Trailer

Can inclement weather and a long distance actually save a breaking relationship?

Frost is my student short film and my final thesis project for my Digital Cinematography degree at Full Sail University. The full short film, “Frost” will be out in the coming months on this same channel, so stay tuned.

Here's a quick look at one of the setups used a lot when inside getting dialogue. We had been using the Sony FS100 for 95% of the shoot and the SmallHD AC7 Monitor. We rented the Glidecam HD4000 for the moving shots as well and it was an absolute pleasure to use!

Special thanks to my cast, you all have been wonderful with your hours of hard work helping me make this project a reality. Also thanks to Montage Mountain in Scranton, PA for your generosity in supporting me with access to your awesome ski resort! Check them out in Scranton, PA or at montagemountainresorts.com

Diving into Google Maps Engine – A Useful Tool for Location Scouting

As a student filmmaker at Full Sail University, I needed a tool to location scout and congregate information all in one place. I found the Google Maps Engine to be that tool. You can create a custom, sharable map with all of your locations laid out in an easy to view and easy to add to. You can even collaborate by sharing your map with colleagues.

Since my thesis project is coming along, I wanted to share this tool and also give you all an update to possible locations I’m looking as well. Be sure to keep up with how my thesis project comes along by following my blog!
