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.

Production: Drop Anchor Music Video - pt. 1

With the exception of some power supply issues, this shoot went great. It was the band portion of the Drop Anchor music video for their song "Always Tempting Fate". The day featured a great crew coming together to pull off some reasonably complicated stuff for a low budget. One of the big highlights of the day's production was a swinging 2000 watt fresnel light suspended above the band members' heads and put into motion by crew members on opposing sides pulling on rope fed through suspended pulleys. It was pretty wild!

Production: Dodge Charger Spec Video

We tackled our first car commercial. It was a spec to show what we can do with a car mount and vehicle mounted jibs. Entitled "fun never grows old", the storyline parallels a father and son both enjoying a car experience - the father driving the car and the son playing with a toy car at home. Due to uncontrollable variables, the shoot day was a little stressed but the cast and crew performed really well and the yielded great footage.

Production: A Battle to the Death - sword fight

Shooting a scene in Tyler State Park in Newtown, PA, Jarrod Weida and Josh Gieringer clashed steel for hours as the RED Oner camera flew around on the EZFX 16' Jib with remote pan/tilt head. A great crew handled the shoot to go as smoothly as possible with two tech for the battle's finale with all the fake blood that was needed. Jarrod was getting over being sick and the day definitely took its physical toll on the fighters but everyone left with smiles on their faces and we wrapped only 30 minutes past the scheduled wrap time. Not bad!

Production: Talonted

Despite, last minute casting and last minute location arrangements, the promotional narrative video for hip hop artist, Talonted, worked out well in the end. The primary day of shooting was about 16 hours long and actor, Damien Colletti, endured a burn on his hand from a tie that was set on fire but everyone left the shoot in good spirits. The majority of the video was shot at 4K on the RED One - slow motion shots were shot at 2K at 120fps.

Story synopsis:

One with strong passion cannot be broken down. That is the theme for "The Talonted Never Lose," a short film that plays with captivating imagery to get its point across. This piece serves as a cinematic visual of one undergoing several challenges, both physical and mental, while in pursuit of one's passion to achieve something great. The main setting takes place in a dark, grim interrogation room where the main character, Talonted, (playing himself) undergoes different forms of torment by an interrogator, played by Damien Colletti, to break his spirit. But Talonted's passion keeps him holding on with confidence. At the end of the movie, we see just whether this torment is actual or simply all in the mind of Talonted, and how Talonted continues in spite of it all.

Production: Semi-Pro Skateboarder shoot

Tom Martyn set up the shoot with semi-pro skateboarder, Mikey Leven at the FDR Skate Park in Philadelphia, PA. After a brief warm up, Leven shredded the skate park and we blasted out a quick, guerilla style video - shot on the RED One at 2K resolution at 120fps. Recently, Leven's wins at East Coast skating tournaments have caught the eye of Vans - keep an eye out for him... he's definitely on the way up!
