Oldie

In the fall of '09, I shot a piece about video artist, Bill Viola and his innovative installation, "Pneuma."

This was great to be a part of.  First, I was really happy with how I was able to integrate the art into the interview shot.  You'll notice the key is clean, but the fill (shadow side) on Mr. Viola varies depending on what the art is doing.  It's subtle but I really dig what I came up with.
Secondly, the interview was eye-opening.  I had never been into video art before this job, but Bill Viola has an amazing approach to the medium, especially in this recent installation.  Take a look at the video, and I'm sure you'll agree.
