Why some women take so long to prepare

This time it was worth it. I had the opportunity to film three ladies who were being dolled up for a salon competition. The entry was an avaunt gard, and the them was reptiles. The women spent about 5 hours preparing for the photo shoot at a private studio later in the day. This was done as a news piece but I took the footage and created my own spin on it. I took all the footage and sped it up 700 times normal to laps the time. I little color grading and a few magic bullets and you have the finished piece. The sign was done in Photoshop and After Effects.

Keeping up with GSP

Galaxy Sailor Productions recently completed entry for the “Drive Less Save More” competition.  Originally, this was an abandoned project due to music licensing issues.  I filmed the whole project around the intro of Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n Roses. Because GnR probably won’t let me use their music without paying a great deal of money, I couldn’t use it.  So I shelved the project, but have it posted at my VIMEO site.

Well, the people having the competition saw my video, liked it, and encouraged me to enter it.  A few GarageBand licks later and it is now in their little hands.  So here is to hoping!  I could use a new iMac Pro (but I hate Final Cut Pro!).

Special Olypmics Winter Games

“Martin’s [GSP] footage is spot on.  He was able to hit all the live events and capture the moments as they happened.  I would recommend Martin [GSP] and his talent any time.”
