“ Parody is not an easy thing to pull off. People who don’t understand comedy think it’s just mimicry but in fact it has to be as funny as the original material, all the while maintaining a carefully nuanced tone. “Beetlejuice,” like most indelible screen experiences, is more than the sum of its parts. You succeeded on all levels! Naturally I was flattered by the cinematography simulation. In spite of working within certain restraints you definitely got it right!
Sweet words from Thomas Ackerman, Director of Photography for “Beetlejuice” on “Tweetlejuice.”
The new Mount Eerie record has found me.
Guess it’s finally cool that I post this! The shot of Josh flying out of the grave made 11 year old me all giggles. Josh Ruben, folks.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I was fortunate enough to have been introduced to the DP of the real Beetlejuice, Thomas Ackerman, a few months back. We talked quite a bit about this look, and the many other incredible films he’s shot: Jumanji, Back to School, Anchorman, and tons more. Talking with him first hand and studying the mood of the scene was so valuable in making this feel a fraction bit authentic.
123 people’s “tag cloud” perfectly sums up most keywords surrounding my existence.
With the help of good pal and fantastic editor Matt Pollock, I’ve put together a DP reel. I’ve never had a reel before, and with all the fun work lately, I figured why not compile some of my favorite moments and lighting setups into one montage. The goal with the first half was to create something that didn’t necessarily say “comedy,” showing the work in a more ambiguously dramatic way. Enjoy it!
Graduates a year later
More Graduates please!
We were in the middle of shooting Graduates exactly one year ago today… At this very moment we were in the Cafeteria of Curry College shooting. I remember being very nervous that they would be doing construction that day, which would completely screw everything up. Luckily for us it was a Sunday and they were not. If you haven’t watch Graduates yet you’re crazy and not a good friend. You are also missing out on some great entertainment. Click the link above to check it out or to enjoy it one more time.
It’s also good to know that we’re still pushing forward with this and still have many opportunities ahead of us because of the pilot. Good things are happening with it, which could lead to more Graduates as well.
After an amazing day of riding through the countryside, blue and white now joins me for new adventures in New York City.
