Media

Most of my professional life has involved the production of one form of media or another. This is a sample, past and present. You can find more video at http://vimeo.com/jeffputz.

Moment capture

This is what I can only describe as "moment capture." It's not a short film, and I'm not trying to tell a story. I just want to capture what I see, cut it, and maybe stylize it a bit. This was shot on a Canon 7D with a Redrock Micro shoulder rig, then cut and color graded in Final Cut Pro.

Roller coaster video porn

Giggity. This was posted for my fellow coaster nerds on CoasterBuzz. One of the freeing things about the Internet is that you don't have to be that particular about how you cut video. I have a Panasonic HVX200 and a bunch of audio and lighting gear. I haven't worked a video day job in years, but I couldn't stay away from it entirely, and had to buy the toys.

And here I am shooting some of that video:

This is really old school stuff. Before I left video for the Internet, circa 1999, I put this together as a sample of things I had created while running a local government access channel. It has:

• A boring pitch for building a rec center
• A story about some lessons in the schools
• Piece of a reality doc about a freshman's first day in the crowded school
• A :60 promo that everyone hated but me (the subject matter was boring)
• The :30 voting PSA that I always loved
• Several motion graphics I did in After Effects... I used to really love doing that stuff
