You Shook Me All Night Long

admin — Sun, 08 May 2011 21:10:13 +0000

Okay, we didn’t actually shake anyone all night long, but we did shoot all night long. The MadHatterCollective founded by Zane Rutledge, Paul Gandersman, Gray Haddock and Jeff Stolhand shot from dusk ’til dawn on the web series (and potential TV pilot) Do-Overs. The shoot took place at the ominous Seaholm power plant in downtown Austin and featured Ben Wolfe, Drew Whelpley, Ken Thomas and Jimmy Gonzales. Utilizing the new DSLR technology, the crew was able to shoot under low light conditions with minimal lighting that allowed DP Paul Gandersman and camera operator Gray Haddock to maximize the beautiful Austin sky line that surrounds the power plant.

National Commercial “Let it Snow”

admin — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 22:54:42 +0000

Expressions in Video’s Jeff Stolhand directs the national commercial “Let it Snow” for Carino’s Italian and Zane TV.

Re-posted from Zane TV:

ZaneTV recently developed some exciting new television creative for Fired Up, Inc. and their Carino’s Italian Restaurants. We’ll be shooting and rolling out a very fun and unique TV campaign over the next six months (as well as helping with Carino’s viral/social experience), but we got the snowball rolling with this clever holiday idea conceived by a waitress who works at the restaurant.

This holiday spot features the wide-eyed (and incredibly professional) Diego P. from Calliope Talent. Directed by Jeff Stolhand, co-produced by Jeff and I, and lensed by Paul Gandersman. Compositing and some digital snow enhances overcranked live-action footage shot with the Red Camera. This spot was shot and delivered inside one week (well, we did shoot a test a week earlier, so technically two weeks total). (And yes, that is me on the VO!)

We look forward to shooting many more of theseâ€¦ and to expanding the way people think about Carino’s Italian.
