Mender of Broken Soles: Canon R5 Test
Who -
Talent: Jim, owner of Fast Eddies
Assistant: Martin Wheeler came along to hang out and lend a hand
Video Editor: Kyle Krause
Video Colorist: Clark Griffiths
What -
Stills and motion project to test out the new Canon R5 camera. Having just purchased the R5 we wanted to put it through the ringer to see how well the camera performed in a difficult, mixed lighting situation. The internal image stabilization was a real stand out as the video was shot 100% hand held. The still files are without a doubt the best we have seen from a Canon camera to date.
When -
A chilly and wet afternoon in November
Where -
Fast Eddies Shoe Repair in Minneapolis
Tools-
Canon EOS R5, EF lenses
Fun -
While unloading Martin mentioned that there was a place that had authentic Cornish Pasties near the shoe shop. It turned out that Lands End Pasty Company was right next door and that they have the most authentic Cornish Pasties Martin has had outside of Cornwall England, where he grew up.
TRAIL BUILDERS
It all begins with an idea.
A lot of hard work goes into building new mountain biking trails. It's a true labor of love crafting the dirt in a way that has a minimal impact on the earth but is fun to ride. This new trail will be opening soon near Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis.
MCLEOD COUNTY FAIR
It all begins with an idea.
This past weekend, we went on a drive out to the countryside and stumbled upon the McLeod County Fair in Hutchinson, MN. From farm animals to vintage tractor pulls, it was a great way to prepare our stomachs for the cheese curds at the Minnesota State Fair, which opens today.
LOS ANGELES
It all begins with an idea.
This past May I went out to LA to visit with my Brother who just bought a new house. Vacations don't mean I stop working though, I carried at minimum 2 cameras with me at all times.

KICKER PROJECT
It all begins with an idea.
This past spring I worked with The Kicker Project to shoot new images for the social media as well and promotional materials. The Kicker Project is a great program that provides the tools for underprivileged kids to go snowboard, which is a costly sport.
The goal of the day on snow was to capture the interaction of the coaches and students, and the joy of being on snow. throughout the day we rode different runs and capture the raw emotion of snowboarding as they unfolded.
BOOTSTRAP COFFEE ROASTERS PART 2
It all begins with an idea.
Part 2 of the project with Bootstrap Coffee Roasters. This video was created for their Kickstarter campaign but kept in mind a multi-use for the video outside of Kickstarter. We wanted to tell more of the story about Micah, the founder of Bootstrap Coffee, as well as showcase where they have been, and where they want to go as a company. Check out their Kickstarter and buy your self some tasty coffee from a great new company.

BOOTSTRAP COFFEE ROASTERS PART 1
It all begins with an idea.
I have been working this winter on a two part project with a startup company called Bootstrap Coffee Roasters. We have been working to create still images for promotion as well as a video for a kickstarter campaign which will be released soon so stay tuned.
MIRACLE EAR
This past May I had the pleasure to work with Miracle Ear and Initio 3i.
This past May I had the pleasure to work with Miracle Ear and Initio 3i. The shoot was one day on location at one of the newly renovated Miracle Ear stores. The goal was to create of body of work that highlighted the technology and types of customers Miracle Ear has. Our models ages ranged from 10 to 80. At the end of the day we walked away with a solid selection of images for Miracle Ear.
BARREL RACING
It all begins with an idea.
I recently called up local DP, Adam Buck, to see if he would be interested in doing a test shoot with me. His reply was something to the tune of "Hells yes!" This shoot was something I had in mind for the last year. There is such a dynamic working with horses from the sheer power they have to the skill of the rider.
Working closely with the rider we captured the atmosphere and energy of riding. The use of slow-motion Adam captured really amplifies the energy of the horse as it goes full speed around the barrel, something that only lasts a moment yet is so complex when slowed down. At the end of the day we were happy with the outcome of our collaboration and the final product.
