Hello fellow film fanatics, filming types, movie lovers, and gun dealers. That’s right, I cater to all sorts now. As I wrote about in an earlier post, I now rent out guns from the Command Center here at GSP Headquarters. Right now, I have a decent little cache of fake fire arms. Most of them couldn’t pass detailed scrutiny, but they are one-to-one scale and have some moving parts to them. The best are the M-16s and the Glocks; those things are sweeeeet! So far, I have had some good little rental deals, but the sweetest one was for Studio Sundell. Carlin Sundell is a photographer and owner, and his group recently did “To Live and Die in Shanghai.” Here is what Studio Sundell has to say about who they are:
Carlin Sundell is the founder and creator of Studio Sundell: a group of creatives that construct exquisite and compelling imagery for fashion, advertising, and editorial clients, with old-school professionalism and high-spirited elegance.
That’s a cool way to describe who they are, but as words are only words, what they put out speaks for what they can do as much as them telling you. Behold, my guns used in their short, non-dialog video “To Live and Die in Shanghai.”
To the other side of that is a recent talking heads video I did for The Art Cubby. These folks are fantastic, and I really want them to succeed. So I agree to shoot a promo video to showcase who they are, what they do, and how it effects kids. The end result is a dandy little piece that highlight Brooke Facteau and her wonderful brainchild. I think they say it best about who they are and what they do:
The Art Cubby is a unique, drop-in child care program focused on introducing children to the world of creative artistic expression. Accepting children 2 – 12 years old, our staff works with each child’s individual skill level to ensure proper growth that is developmentally appropriate.
Brooke and her crew are fantastic, and I really want to see all of you dump your kids off at her place. That may not sound totally right, but it’s still a great plan. Here is the little video for Brooke and crew at The Art Cubby:

I am really happy about both of these projects coming out at the same time, as well as a video I did for The Dairy Council of Oregon. This particular video is due to have excerpts play at the new Jeld-Wen Park, home of the Portland Timbers, on the big jumbotron. I’m pretty excited this is happening, and a nice little dose of reality that I am doing this for real, even if it all isn’t going as fast as I like. This is a daily struggle that I have, and can leave that for either another post or my therapist.
