A short i did on location at Lull farm in Hollis-Brookline. ( lullfarmllc.com/ ). Lull is a special place to me, its where we always go as a family for apple picking, and for pumpkins and cornstalks. Well, My family is one person smaller since three years, so going there is both wonderful and a little sad at the same time, so I guess thats why this film seems a little sad?

anyway, it was shot with a d300s and ..wait for it...A D90?!?! yes, throw a 105mm f2.8 macro on that bad boy and she works like a charm. The orchard footage and especially the close up shot of the tree knot where done with the d90.

the slider shots were done with the cheesycam.com spyder dolly, that thing is a miracle! i've modified my sad DIY $13 walmart tabletop by velcroing a peice of plexiglass to it to get about 4 more inches on each side, which makes for wider dollys and wider spins.

the orchard shots where done using the express35.com special run and gun rig that they build for me, which when you consider the fact that they were done with a 105mm lens, thats pretty stable!

The music is "The Gravel Road" from The Village Soundtrack.

and of course, none of this would be possible if it weren't for the inspiration and education from a simple down to earth fella named Philip Bloom.

    Hey Joe, thank you very much for the comp. the rig was a "enhanced" run and gun lite with an extra handle and a longer shoulder rod. he is putting up a "custom" photo gallery that has some photos of it there.
