Production: Drop Anchor Music Video - pt. 2

The first day of shooting for the narrative portion of the Drop Anchor music video, "Always Tempting Fate" was possibly the coldest day of the year. Although we were shooting indoors, it might as well have been outside. It was about 10 degrees inside and in turn damaged the hard drive of our data transfer laptop. Luckily, AC Jake Czepiel had his laptop with him and the day was able to continue on. Power was sparse for lighting the scene but we got it all worked out in the end. Actors Tony Slade and Chris Dalbey toughed it out through the temperature and finished their scenes without complaint. Working with professionals is awesome. Everyone did a great job.

Production: Welcome Home, Charlie Valentine

Stamphill Motion Pictures produced the mini-short film, "Welcome Home, Charlie Valentine" - written by Jason Lauer and starring Bruce Clifford, Frank Thon and Sarah Dewey. We shot it in the quiet town of Perkasie, PA with some great locations that fit the crime story perfectly. Minor mishaps included unwanted piles of snow in one of our shooting spots, a moving violation ticket, and a church bell that rang every fifteen minutes. All in all, everything worked out very well.
