Shoot In Logan

Recently I got to go to a shoot in Logan. I was able to act as the production coordinator for this shoot. I planned the schedule, coordinated with the Producer on what kind of b-roll we needed to get, and contacted everyone involved to make sure things would move smoothly. This is a project I've also been able to help do some assistant editing on.

The project is completely unscripted and is based on interview footage from two young men in Logan Utah. The backbone of the story has been cut together with interview footage. This introduces interesting challenges, but at the same time it is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to do something that is more like documentary editing.

I have a lot of respect for the Producer, Lucas McGraw, and the Director of Photography, Tom Garner. They have both worked on and produced some of my favorite Mormon Messages. Both of these men sometimes spend long hours and even days or weeks away from their families to produce these pieces. They both love their families and spend a lot of their time talking about their families. You can tell that they are dedicated husbands and fathers and yet they still dedicate themselves to their work.
