I co-DPed an Independent short in 1999 that was produced by an inheritance from the filmmaker's father's will. This production was shot on 16mm as we used an Eclair-NPR and a 300 FPS camera that I don't recall the make of. |
|
| |
| The movie was shot in the desert and mountain areas, involving many unique aspects such as a caveman make-up, a dear carcess, and a pack of wolves. |

My favorite monster is a werewolf, my favorite animal is a wolf. We had no werewolves but did have two gorgeous wolves on set. |
|
|
| |
| I was drooling over being around and having an opportunity to shoot these beautiful creatures. That's me with no hair and the backwards glasses. |

Here we have the caveman cutting open a dead deer carcas (prop), then eating the insides. The insides were made out of watermelon and fake blood. |
|
| |
| We had a lot of gear for daylight shooting including: shineboards, generator, and HMI's. |

That's me and the co-DP setting an early morning shot of the caveman running across the desert. It was a bit chilly out there, hence Mr. Shorts (me) wearing pants and a jacket oh and a beanie. |

| I took this shot because I loved the composition of the wolf and camera guy staring at each other. Kiind of menacing looking shot. |

Our grip truck we destroyed ... or I destroyed on the first day of production. I went a little fast on the dips and ripped the trailer hitch off. Oops |

| Cold caveman sitting for the framing. We had him wrapped up until we rolled. We later took him into a pizza place dressed like that and they wouldn't let him in, thinking he was a creepy homeless guy. |
