In the works and Rutger

Lately I have been working a lot. In the last 3 weeks I have been on 5 different jobs. It all started out when Jais at Picturewise called me and asked if I wanted to be 2nd assistant on a Rutger Hauer shoot. I couldn't say no and ended up doing some focus pulling as well. Got a nice picture with the icon. He's very nice by the way. The project had an insanely talented Director to it called Sil Van der Woerd, and a great DOP from the UK, Keidrych Wasley. Who took this awesome shot.

Second job was 2 days later. A 2 day commercial with DOP Morten Rasmussen that I hadn't met before. He is a very experienced Photographer. Check him out on his website. As a fun coincidence we both studied in Prague. But 30 years apart.

Third job was just shooting a plate for an interesting short film that will be produced in Aarhus in August. Nice to meet the people there they made some stuff before. Check out Lonetower for more.

Fourth job was exciting for me. A 35mm shoot in Copenhagen for some guys who finished the Super16 course a few years ago. Very efficient shooting, and fun to work with a 35mm.

And I just finished working a new commercial project that I think will be quite big in Danish TV in the fall.

I saw two films lately. The Expandables and Machete. The short story. Expendables sucked bigtime and Machete rocked. I love Robert Rodriquez' way of making a gritty action film. With a low budget look at times but great actors and awesome action scenes it's well worth the watch.
