  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Damien Jurado "Caskets"

Michael Ragen said:
Thanks for the kind words guys. Jesse James was my favorite movie from last year. We also looked to "Days of Heaven" for inspiration during pre-production.

This music video was really fun for me because I was able to very involved in the story development as well as shooting. Damien wrote the original concept and then Matt Daniels and I took it from there and decided to do a period piece.

Phil Anderson, our AC did great work finding all of these awesome locations (He was also a killer AC). The house we shot in hadn't been inhabited in a few decades. There were old medium format negatives scattered around the house among the trash.

Also we decided to go 100% natural light (except the caskets shots, so 99%). No bounce cards, no nothing. We had Kinos on standby but they stayed in there cases. Just painted the room to bounce the light around and found some awesome curtains. Having Super Speeds helped a lot, when we had to move quick outside we used the Red 18-50 as well. And yes, that would be a Lensbaby in there as well, which Mike Prevette kindly loaned us.

I really hope to get the chance to work on some more period stuff in the future, maybe with the EPIC 645...:biggrin:

Any chance for 720p ver.?
 
Thanks Matt! We actually tied for best cinematography with the Justice "Stress" video, which is awesome, because that was my favorite music video of the year.
 
We recently learned that "Caskets" was nominated for best music video and best cinematography in a music video at this years Camerimage festival in Poland. Definitely feel honored to be put next to some amazing artists. The director and I will be heading there in about ten days. Thanks for all the great information and support you guys provide here.
