Glad to be back from a successful shoot in Boca del Toro, Panama. The
focus of the trip was shoot VFX plates for an upcoming production as
well as scouting additional locations for the movie.

The island provided diverse environments for shooting including
beaches and lagoons in addition to absolute desolate and thick jungle.
One of the highlights happened when our guide got lost. Can’t deny it,
that added a spirit that can’t be faked. Add to that the pounding rain
(and trying to keep the camera alive), mudslides and treacherous
terrain. All in all, a great adventure and successful shoot!

The River Walk

San Antonio Shoot – April 2009

Still one of my favorite and versatile locations in Central Texas. Our production schedule had us set up and shooting by 8:00 am so we had a variety of lighting options for the day.

Our objective for this day was to get the 2nd Unit shots for some of the crowd scenes. All went well and once again the historic feel of the River Walk provided what we needed.

A fine day for sizing up some prospective locations for an upcoming
production.

This shot has great buildings along the River Walk in San Antonio,
Texas.

In this video, Sarah and April from Terry Garnett’s Propane share some of their experiences as part of the Customer Service Team.

We shot the piece during the workday right near the front door of the office and we had a great time as various folks wandered in and out. Guerilla shooting in the workplace.

This is a documentary I had the pleasure to produce for the leading ready mix supplier in Central Texas, Lauren Concrete.

I really enjoyed all of the phases from beginning to end on this project. The company is family owned and operated and their culture is very positive and a pleasure to be around.

Interestingly, the company was started from the ground up by one man. As the video shows, he really had a lot of foresight and was one of the first ready mix companies to progressively embrace technology.

Over the years the company has expanded. They now operate and control their own vertical supply chain as well as multiple plant locations all up and down the I-35 corridor in the Austin, TX area.

They also own and fly their own helicopter which is what we used for the aerial shots. It was amazing. In the middle of flight we noticed one of the company’s trucks on I-35 traveling North. We acted as fast as we could and got the shot – a pleasant surprise in post.

Yesterday was a beautiful Texas day and a great day to shoot the festivities at Christmas On Mercer Street in Dripping Springs, Texas.

This is an annual event that brings together local food vendors, civic groups, merchants, as well as crafts people to display and sell their goods. With music playing and kids flying thorough the crowd, it was a fun event and family day.

This was another of the documentaries we’re shooting for the Central Texas Project hosted by Terry Garnett’s Blog.

Thanks to the great folks interviewed!

Terry Garnett is recognized as the leading Internet expert on the subject of propane. Our goal for this segment was to provide a platform for helping homeowners to learn about the basic “how to’s” of managing their propane systems plus learn about how he has built the #1 propane company in the Texas Hill Country.

This interview features some of his observations and as mentioned, a few tips for the propane homeowner via a backyard tour.

In addition to his work with propane, Terry Garnett enjoys the Texas Hill Country lifestyle with his family and currently champions the benefits of growing up in the small Texas town of Dripping Springs.

One of my current projects is working with my friends, Terry and Michelle Garnett in the mission of creating a greater sense of community for the folks in the Texas Hill Country.
