Mark Allen 2009 Director's Demo Reel

[Mark Allen]

A lot of the stuff I shoot is NDA for years, so I'm a little late in sharing a lot of this stuff. Much of it was shot before the RED was available, but I'm going to point out the shots (in order) which were shot on RED.

SHOTS ON RED:

0:13 - Robot Shot
0:19 - Robot Shot
0:19 - Musicians with Dancers (Thia Sexton)
0:23 - Grayscale tripled model (Sebastian)
0:28 - Fingers on Bass (Thia Sexton)
0:29 - Grayscale two models (Sebastian)
0:38 - Dancer on Blue Background (Skechers)
0:43 - Robot Shot

I've shot a lot more on the RED including more Skechers spots, more Music spots and Music specials (recently a full 60 minute four camera shoot), American Idol specialty spots, a Couple special moments for TV shows - but I don't have permission to share those yet (or they just didn't fit into the reel as a whole).

For the curious, the other scenes were shot with:

Least Likely (Asian American Voting PSA set in future) - 35mm
Fallen (Angels and models in old hotel, surreal) - F900
Discovery and Corridors (Models in insanitorium) - HVX100
Toni Braxton - HVX100

Mark,

It's visually stunning. Very nice.

Looks like you've been having fun with RED Mark! Very nice, aesthetically stellar reel...

 

[Jason Beckwith]

Mark,
Very cool reel. Beautiful Content.

As an ElectricImage user since waaaaay back in the day, I remember the shape maker prelude fondly. Glad to see that it turned out to be a solid stepping stone for you. I can't believe that was over a decade ago!

Best of luck in all your future endeavors,
Jas

First rate Mark. You've been a busy guy.

Keep up the good work.
