Since the spring of 1975 the In the Heart of the Beast Theater has thrown the Annual Mayday Parade in the Powderhorn Neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This year's theme was Roar!. I took the good old Sony HVR-Z5U to the parade and what's above is the result.
The goal was to recreate something straight out of the 1960's with that 16mm home camera feel. I wanted capture the moment and mood of the festival, and make you feel apart of it all. I was merely a conscious observer of the experience. Honestly, the old music video A Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum was by far the biggest influence. As always your thoughts and comments are very much welcome.
A Thank You From The Heart was selected to take part in the The Best Films from the The 28th Annual Minneapolis- St. Paul International Film Festival this Sunday, May 9th at Saint Anthony Main Theatre which is just of Main Street Southeast in Minneapolis. The film also got my name credited on IMDb as a Cinematographer. I hope to see some of you at the screening the weekend. Thanks, for all your support!
When I'm not on the hustle I'm often watching films. Again, I watched The Big Sleep this time however it was the 1945 prerelease version of the film, I'd been watching the 1946 theatrical release of the film for years. The cut is a more raw and straightforward, but I must say I've really come to love the '46 cut of the film. Also, The Girl Next Door, as homage to the 136th Annual Kentucky Derby Seabiscuit, and as an homage to my life in celluloid Nine. Lastly, fresh from the Sapphire Series of Blu-ray films comes Saving Private Ryan. Even with the Spielberg clichés and the fact he was also "Directing" Jurassic Park: The Lost World at the same wtime. This film captures the hell that was D-Day, and is War. Somethings, somethings never change.
