All I know is that I love doing what I do. Chris Kimbell, who is a great script writer, just wrapping shooting The Hard Song. She had a tough script with a lot of emotion, and the fact that she was directing her own work to complete her vision is a heavy task. It is tough material, the stuff she wrote. It was a complex meeting between an estranged brother and sister in a park. The end result is some amazing work. I was luck enough to help with the script as well as DP/camera on this shoot. As well as shooting for Chris, I worked with Dave J, who is amazing in his own right, but he stayed in with us to do props and handy work, and will be doing the After Effects work on this baby. While your at it, you need to check out Christine Eisler, who put in a great performance.
From Dave J at Oregon Media Network:
Just finished working with Martin on Christen Kimbells “The Hard Song” twp day shoot. I’m not going to candy coat it, Martin knows what he is talking about, and will give the director the chance to plow ahead, but I didn’t see one instance when that opinion didn’t help the momentum, and keep things rolling, which is what a great DP does. I learned a lot just watching Martin work, and I look forward to the next time. Good luck on your upcoming Zombie series Martin, and once again, it was great to see you work.
