Learning Video – Apt Album Promo Shorts

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Trevor Christensen

A friend approached me to help him make a few promo videos for the release of his new album. Here are the videos & I wrote about the experience making of them here.

Watch it, let me know what you think could be better and what you like.

*Fun Fact: The black & white conversion was done in Lightroom 4 Beta. Has anyone tried that yet?

Doing a little dragging

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Jim Urquhart

Sometimes I liked to play around a bit with my sports coverage. I think I did ok on this one. What do you think? For a few plays I really slowed down the shutter and panned with the action.

I despise cheerleaders …

Posted on December 17, 2011 by Jim Urquhart

Anyone that has spent time with me on sidelines and baselines during high school, college or professional sporting events knows of my absolute aversion to cheerleaders.

I have never understood their role in sports and will never comprehend why so much make-up and perfume has to be involved.

So with that said, I was really annoyed when the BYU cheerleaders stepped in front of my photo position during free throws … but I was surprised when I was actually able to make a frame during the annoyance.

Vakapuna

Posted on November 27, 2011 by Jeff McGrath

The ball is sent flying as Utah's senior running back Tauni Vakapuna (#24) is hit by Colorado's Anthony Perkins (#7) and Ray Polk (#26). The ball was caught and run out of bounds by Colorado's Curtis Cunningham (#50) resulting in a turnover. © 2011 Jeff McGrath / Daily Utah Chronicle

What do you guys think about this crop?

I was going back and forth between cropping at #26′s thighs and #7′s (his) right thigh, versus how I cropped it above. I currently have it at their shins because I felt that the angle of their bodies (and legs) contributed to the motion and temporary state of the picture. Thoughts? The frame is much larger originally.
