Clean Up Your Voice Over In Adobe Audition + Premiere course

This year, I've figured out a better way to give my classes to Patreon subscribers- free coupons to my Udemy channel.  It took a few months to get my class content on Udemy from Skillshare but now the majority of it is over there and it's far more convenient to share the tutorials from that platform.

Please enjoy this tutorial involving voice audio editing...

A word about the aliens

Fast forwarded through the second and third Aliens movies last night w the kids, hitting the highlights.  I wanted to show them parts of Resurrection but I guess I deleted it a long time ago because I really dislike the jokey tone of that one.  

As many times as I’ve seen these- I don’t think any of them are actually any good.  For me the only positive trait is down to the Giger design aesthetic.  Storywise, they are all essentially cipher characters running and ...

Stevie Rosalie - Past Projections

Before Halloween I shot my hmua friend Stevie in spooky vintage styling, then we did a little experiment involving some family photos projected on her face.  Since it was a throwaway test I totally forgot about the images- until now.  Here's a combo of the fashion and projection images, explainer video here!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi with spoilers + update

Probably everyone around my age grew up with Star Wars as a major touchstone of entertainment, of fascination, of creative inspiration.  The original trilogy is so freaking good.  

Around the mid 90s I read a couple of the Expanded Universe novels and didn't really take to their slavish repetition of things we already knew about the SW universe.  Constantly characters would repeat lines that were featured in the films, as if they were toys with limited programmed phrases that yo...

Hailey J - "Quicksilver"

Good morning!  Presenting a new set with Utah/ Oregon model Hailey J, shot early December- another new favorite person to shoot with I think, definitely someone with a similar love for off-kilter work.  She has a Patreon of her own which is definitely worth checking out!

McKenzie - "Bruise Pristine" Instax

It's probably a good sign when I have worked with a model 4 times in one year; this go-round was in the same studio I actually first met McKenzie Eckels, Dystopian Studios in LA, with a makeup artist Crissy Stardust who I met in June.  This is the instax portion of our shoot, there will be digital stuff at a later date!

So Long Studio

(Starting with an image of my daughter Maggie at Venice Beach, no studio needed!)

I'm writing this in the final few days of cleaning out my studio and moving everything back to my house.  It's been a year since I had 24 hr access to a shared space in a fashion house startup in Tempe and I thought I would share some of the ups and downs, what I thought I would get out of it and the reality.

In 2016 I had a string of music video shoots and had germs of ideas for web series.  It s...

Anastasia + Rebecca (Scanner Mix) - 18+

Going back to one of my first scanography sets - it's Anastasia Arteyeva and Rebecca Lawrence.  Apologies for the ultra NSFW post, also apologies to all the people at the coffee shop where I uploaded these who may've been blinded by a nipple.  Explainer video over here!

Kelly Eden - Kelly's House

I could tell from Kelly's instagram that her house was like a cotton candy version of Pee Wee's Playhouse, so in our second shoot together we made the most of it and even got the cats involved!

Update:  sorry the images weren't attached when this went out, not sure what went wrong!

Lillie Monster - Spooktacular 18+

Gearing up for Halloween with Lillie Monster!  I shot with Lillie in Portland earlier this year, and it seemed appropriate to hold off on posting work until the spooky season was just right.  Check out her own Patreon here and if you want an explainer video, I got it here!

Alana - Cosmic Girl

Body paint is a hard thing to quantify whether it's PG or R, but I'm gonna err on the side of R for this.  Alana is a new LA-area model I've worked with twice this summer; as soon as we met and I saw how much she was into the festival/ dance scene, I knew she'd be perfect to work with my frequent body painter collaborator Jamie Graden.  This took maybe 5 hours and didn't get shot until 2 am, a day where everyone had to be up early the next day and I had to drive back to San Diego from ...
