Motion - Desert Road Trip

This year, I'll be working on building my reel for motion and multi media. My first motion project of the year was shot out in the Mojave Desert. The concept was to show a young 20/30 something couple out in the desert together on a vintage motorcycle. They are young and in love, on the open road with nothing but each other and the vast expanse of the desert. The images are meant to convey a sense of adventure and freedom.


This project took several months to produce and I had a lot of help along the way. I want to say thank you to all the extremely talented hard working crew who made it possible. The still images are up on my website and I'm currently working with an editor to finish off the 30 second to 1 minute spot.
