This is one of two spots we shot all in the same house.  The challenge was to make it look like we shot each person in a different location.  It was shot on the RED Epic with ARRI Master Primes.

This is a spec spot shot on the RED.  We had 1 day on a real submarine.  The engine close ups were shot weeks later in a garage. The sinking sub at the end was about 5' long and we shot it as a miniature.

This is a commercial shot for LEGO. Almost everything you see was done in camera including miniatures, explosion effects shot in a fish tank and all models are made from real LEGO. For more information on how and why this was made visit https://www.brianandrewellis.com/vestige

The beginning and end of this spot I shot on the ARRI Amira using Schneider Xenon FF lenses. The middle section was taken from archive footage from past shoots.

Shot on the ARRI Amira. We used a snorkel system for some of the close ups of the game.

This spot was shot on the ARRI Amira with Cooke S4i Mini Primes. All the snow is fake, including everything on the ground and what’s on the cars. We got lucky with 2 cloudy days of shooting. All the shots at the gas station, except the wide, were done with light still in the sky so we had to recreate early evening.

This was a project for the Milwaukee Adworkers.

This was shot on Super 16mm and it was all done in one take after many rehearsals. Iris pulls were done on the fly and so was focus using no wireless devices. I was also wearing a backpack with a Digi8 recorder so we could watch playback.

This is a national spot for Jones Dairy.  Shot on RED Epic with Schneider Xenon FF lenses.  That challenge was to make the cloudy day look sunny during the entire shoot day.

This is the national launch of the Berkshire Hathaway Air Care Insurance. The challenge was to shoot during the day in an open International Airport.  This was shot on the RED.

A spot for the Wisconsin Department of Justice. 

Shot on ARRI Alexa.

This was for the Milwaukee Film Festival. It played before each screening.  We shot it in black and white using the RED ONE.

This spot had to be shot on the main stage in early spring. It was still very cold.  We had a large empty stage with no existing lighting.  Given a modest budget we needed to recreate the excitement of a large concert.  The animation on the stage was first shot as real action on a soundstage. We then cut out certain frames and had them cut out in acrylic. The 5 inch tall pieces were then hand painted and each sequence was shot stop motion.  They were then matched using motion control to the stage shot.

Shot on the RED.  We needed this to look like it was old 35mm film to match the Six Million Dollar Man show open.  Look for the surgery light, it is an ARRI Ruby 7.

This was all shot in 2 days so the challenge was to make the winter scenes appear cold.  It was about 90 degrees that day.  We were limited on budget so we had to do most of it in camera.
