Hello!
A lot has been going on since my last post…here to catch up on a few things we’ve been doing.

Roger Ebert
I was fortunate to participate in 2 shoots recently with Roger Ebert, Chicago’s legendary film critic. He is developing a new television show and announced a new computer program that will allow him to use his REAL VOICE through a computer, using his commentary from his recorded voice from his many years on “At The Movies” they were able to make this possible. I was lucky to be invited into his home as well as participate in this interview in Champaign that was concurrent with his film Festival.
L.A. – Joe goes to Hollywood

Updating a recruitment video for a tax consulting firm gave me the opportunity to hit L.A. for about 48 hours. And no trip to L.A. is complete without a visit to the In – n – Out Burger! Check out this menu.

pretty simple menu
Spa Commercial – I did the lighting, Jon Ellison worked the Jib, Hoffman media supplies the gear to visiting DP Skip Roessel. Cool shoot at a Korean spa in Niles, IL. Haven’t seen the final commercial yet. more happy clients! Here’s Jon Ellison operating the jib:

Some great projects so far this year, here’s to a great summer.

Joe






Looks like some great shoots Joe. Isn’t the In-n-Out Burger a celebrity hang out? See you soon!
actually this particular in-n-out burger was across the street from Hollywood High School, so it was crawling with 15 year olds.
Hanging out with all those women and their pink headgear must have been surreal. Fellini would approve.
