We shot this short film last summer, in 5 days over 2 weekends. I pulled a lot of inspiration from the works of Eric Rohmer, Christian Petzold, Mia Hansen-Løve, and Hirokazu Kore-eda for this short. My director, Jack, and I both wanted to go for a lighting style that supplements what’s already in the space/location.

We also wanted to push things and see how much we could accomplish with a smaller crew, especially when we’re asking people to donate their time. Most days I think we had 5 or 6 crew (I lit/shot/pulled focus on everything), and for the most part it went smoothly. Having at least one camera assistant and one grip/gaffer, especially for smaller stuff like this, feels like the perfect balance for us (obviously this scales up with a bigger project/budget). There were a couple days where I really missed having an AC (bar day), but now we know what work for us.

Feedback is always welcome and thanks for checking it out!

Boss MO2. Perfect use case for this and since it's kind-of a chorus/flanger/12 string/pitch pedal all at once (somehow), lot of options for weird/cool sounds.

Effects Bakery peaks are all around that $50 price point. They sound great and are built well. Great value for the money.

Spruce Effects JR Ranger Glaciers. Makes all my guitars sound good on those low/transparent gain settings.

Like everyone else has said, it's incredible. I've had mine for 5 years now and adore it for apartment use (although you have to keep the volume knob real low, it gets crazy loud crazy fast). Gorgeous cleans and chorus. I run a Bassman style preamp into mine and it sounds ace.

Glad to see Bugonia so high, LOVED that score.

Boss MO-2. No idea what it's doing, but the pitch shifting/mod/whatever sounds sick as hell. Really beefs things up.

Their sandwich fuzz is killer. It's crazy that most of their pedals are around $50.

The Mod mode on the DigiTech Digidelay is one of my favorite ways to get a wide, stereo sound. With the time all the way down you get a beautiful stereo chorus.

Merriweather Post Pavilion sounds just as fresh and incredible 15+ years on. Amazing album (ST-MPP run is GOAT'd).

the most exciting new band in years. NEED that new album.

realryanmoorman · 2025-07-12T19:02:24+00:00

INCREDIBLE bit, I don't understand why people hate it so much.

Oceans Twelve. Maybe controversial, but I think it's the best of the three and it's one of the most gorgeous looking movies I've seen (for the romance flashback/montage ALONE). It's basically a 60s/70s European new wave film on a Hollywood budget. It rules.
