People often ask me which scene that I’ve directed is my favorite. I’m not sure I could name just one but the scene with Conner Habib and Tristan Jaxx (which you can read about here) is certainly in my top 10. Instead of directing the action or the performers, I got two top-notch performers who knew what they were doing and allowed them to do their thing as I played around with angles, perspective, light and shadow.
Having two guys who were able to keep the action going on their own allowed me to do things like put them between myself and the sun… letting it shine right into the camera and artifact on the lens. It allowed me to shoot from above and below and in direct sunlight, shadow and reflected light.
Here he is at Men At Play in a suit looking great as ever. Love that hairy chest and his Denis The Menace smile.
