I decided to take the time to write this blog about Steve Jobs because of how much respect I have for this man. Rarely have I been affected by the death of someone who I did not know personally, like I have by that of Steve Jobs’s. I suppose if I think about it some more, I do know him personally. There is not a day that I go without using something that this brilliant man created. Steve Jobs is a technological innovator. He is also a significant figure in the film and entertainment world. He transformed the way the…

So this is not my typical video log. I haven’t done one in a while. School and filmmaking (and really anything non-school related) is really hard to balance. I am always torn between what has to be done and what I really want to get done. The best is when you get to combine what has to be done with what you really want to do, which in this case is making a video for one of my classes (Law & Ethics). In our class, my group had to present a case on child labor, so I decided to make…

The first tailgate of the season for UT McCombs was epic. The food was great, the music was great, the game (was still great, though Rice lost), and most importantly the people were great. Great job to those who planned it. The increased tailgate price was definitely worth it. I dutifully supported my Rice compadres, but still wore some orange to show my support. UT definitely didn’t need any though. I was just there praying that Rice didn’t get crushed. My prayers unfortunately were not answered with UT winning 34 to 9. What a day. Go Rice Owls! Good job…

Moth to Flame Films + super fresh uni = epic Though I never was successful at filming underwater, free diving, spearfishing, or really anything to do with the ocean… this was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It is not every day that you have friends who are mermen, who will dive down to the bottom of the ocean to collect sea urchins so that you can fulfill a silly dream to eat fresh uni straight from the ocean. I had a blast. One of the biggest lessons I learned this summer is the need to relax…

Nic Putnam from Fat HamPster productions finally invited me to go spearfishing with him after I begged him to let me try filming the entire ordeal. We went to Palos Verdes for the day to test out Joel’s underwater camera. I also brought mine as well, but didn’t have an underwater casing so could only film from land. After a good 15 minutes, I quickly realized that I was rather horrible at swimming in the ocean, let alone filming at the same time. I gave up on the filming idea and ended up on back on the shore for the…

This was a special occasion because EPMB debuted their first music video, “Favorite Misery,” directed by Christine Chen, as well.

Moth to Flame Films had the honor of working with two very inspirational women. Heather Alden, artist from Faded Paper Figures, and Hollywood actress, Michelle Faraone. Clinique wanted spec commercials that answered the question “What is Happiness to You?” I thought about this for a while and came up with the idea of interviewing women who enjoy what they do. My inspiration mainly came from my own experiences. I worked in corporate for 3 years and realized that  I could not go on in life half living. I took a risk and decided to pursue film making 100%. Ever since,…

Do you have the biggest balls of them all? Check out this video Moth to Flame did with bigroundballs.com. During the last month of my time in LA, my life has been take over by a guy named Nic Putnam. He is an incredible filmmaker and now a great friend. I guess you really have to appreciate each other’s company in order to stand working with each other until 4 am for 15 hours straight, 5 to 7 days a week. Nic Putnam is from Fat HamPsters Productions as well as True Colors Productions. When I first figured out he…
