Alivia

This little sweet heart is the daughter of our good friend Riley VanOrman. Riley had me put a video together for Alivia's second birthday. It's funny how you can spot mannerisms that Alivia has learned from her mom.

Cory Broadway

Cory Willey is a dear friend of ours so it was a ton of fun to see all of her home videos in our latest project. This little clip was made for the menu.

My favorite part is probably Cory and her sister singing and dancing to The Cars "Drive".

Gwendolyn and Benjamin

This was our first fall wedding ever and the colors, weather, and lighting couldn't have been more beautiful.
This has become one of our favorite wedding videos we've ever done. It turned out so classy and touching.
I also have to announce that my wife has become a wonderful photographer and I am so proud of her. All the pictures in this video were taken by her. They're a fantastic addition to any wedding video.

Lost in Love

Last year, my very funny friend Nate Sonntag brought me up to his house to show me a DVD he found of the entire collection of Air Supply music videos.
So I was absolutely cracking up over these videos. There is a certain quality to 70's music videos that is so funny to me.
Anyway, my friend Richard Keeler and I wanted to try using a green screen on a music video which is something I'd never done before. We are now dressing up as Air Supply for Halloween.

Our Youtube channel

Montauk Motion Pictures now has a youtube channel.
This short promo was made for upload on this channel and other video sites.
I'm mostly proud of it because it is my wife's favorite.

Margene Kirk's 80th Birthday

Kalleen Lund, daughter of Margene Kirk, contacted me with her idea to make a video slideshow for a family get together in honor of her mother's 80th birthday.

It was an honor getting to know this wonderful woman and her great family.

Tim and Megan Curtis

Tim and Megan were married on a very busy August 9 this summer. Their reception was so beautiful and you could tell a lot of work went into it.

Megan is my cousin and we go way back. When used to play "office" and she was always the over-dramatic secretary. We also made a running soap opera with several episodes and she was always the star- and she wrote and sang the theme song.

We are so happy for her and Tim.

Lavender Albino.com

Grant Whitmer III of Lavender Albino.com contacted me with a very interesting video proposal. Grant and his father are snake breeders specializing in the very rare and very expensive ball python morph, lavender albino.
They use ultrasound equipment to optimize their breeding practices. Here is a short intro from the 2 disc training video.
I have since become obsessed with snakes myself.
If you are a serious snake breeder, this 2 disc set is a must have.

Don and Heather Heath

I loved shooting and making this video. Rachel Coleman did such a good job with the photography and made for a fun time.

This segment of the video was meant to look like an old 8mm film. The colors have been shifted and the video has been manipulated to look like it's being played on a reel.


Good luck at Utah State this year guys.

Tiger's Blood : Danger in the Wood

Tigers Blood is really just a speculative title.



For my birthday this year, my brothers and friends did an excellent job performing for this film we did all day long. Thanks so much guys.

Starring Danny Pilkington and Spencer Coleman, "Tigers Blood is a gut-wrenching, heart-pounding, action drama that will keep you riveted to your seats through the entire 2 minutes and 17 seconds"
Peter Travers Rolling Stone.

Spencer Coleman, trained in the ancient Kung Fu arts of the Shoa Lin monks, puts forth a stellar performance.
While Danny Pilkington and his henchmen are the best villains to hit the silver screen since Fu Man Chu.

Enjoy

-no actual cigarettes were used in the filming of this movie. It's all just special effects.

Greg and Lynsey Bell

This great couple was just married on Thursday, July, 17th.
We had the chance to really get to know Greg and Lynsey before their wedding. Not only did we get to go through their childhood photos and home videos, we were also able to interview them about their relationship.
Here is a sweet little clip of them expressing their feelings for one another. We're really proud of this video.



You guys are so great together.

Don Heath and Heather Baugh

We had a wonderful night at Memory Grove with this beautiful couple.
They wanted to make a video of their engagement pictures. I must say, I am super excited to do this video because of the excellent footage I was able get and the trust they've given me.
Working alongside photographer Rachel Coleman was a blast. She set up such cool shots, making my job so much more interesting. I did make Heather and Don cross the creek multiple times, resulting in a tragic shoe accident. Luckily, Heather is not only pretty, but a super kind and patient lady.

Great job tonight guys.
-Watch for their upcoming video at our website.
