  • Bio
    Film has been my passion for a decade. I have started a company based on my passion at the age of 18. In which I apply all my knowledge and beliefs into the content we create. My whole life I have been told I would never be able to make something out of my passion, that I should just take the safe route... Instead, I followed my passion full on, supporting it all the way. I co-founded a gaming studio to facilitate my love for games as well.

    I continue to strive to be the change in film and to craft the impossible, as well as create the unimaginable.

    Hmm. Don't quite understand what you are asking. Are you asking if I would ever considering meeting up with people and giving them supplies? Hey Thanks! May I ask what do you mean by 1st person and 3rd person? :) Thanks for the awesome words! :)

    Live-Action DayZ Short Film

    Thank you! Some of the shots sound hollow due to the reduction in bass for some of them, I did this because I didn't want to kill headphone users by going over 7db like I have in the past haha. That is definitely something I need to perfect however :) Thanks! I guess I was trying to aim towards a more DayZ appearance. We did have an entire scene cut out due to some issues with how it fit in. It involved an entire gameshow and huge dialogue pieces at the end after the character gets shot. It follows the player whom shot the Main Character and shows how he dies later on through a really psychotic group of bandits. I will be posting this on our second channel as an extra scene soon! I can also relate to the initial death in the short. As this has happened to me and many people I know MANY different times haha.

    Oh alright!. I understand now. I completely agree with you. The internet has become so saturated with the same type of content that I can completely understand how it can get annoying for people to do the same thing over and over like you described. I agree with you on the first scene deal. That was something I wished to have changed. Next time I'll make sure to stick to one device as such :) I can also see what you mean at the 4 minute mark as well. Most of the shake was done on purpose because we were using a pretty heavy camera rig that when holding, added a bit of shake to the shots. That specific barn shot was done on purpose, however, I can definitely see your point there. The brightness was also done on purpose. To demonstrate the silhouette of the character as he walked in I see what you are saying about those two aerial shots. Blending must be improved then, got it! :D Thanks for the stuff! I will keep that in mind on my next productions. Thank you very much for your feedback on it!

    Thanks! I wanted to really show how the game atmosphere was, and since most of the time as you play you are not talking, I wanted to add that into the short! :) A company/business is much more complex than that. Given the exact corporate structure of a C corporation down to an LLC. This video is the first video in a line of consistent content for online network such as youtube. As we also perform business outside of the online world as well. :) The reason for the art direction taken with this short is due to the balance between the game and how it is played. When you play DayZ, it is the atmospheric experience that reaches you, not a story. That is something I wanted to be truthful to and bring into the short. Also considering it is the story of one's journey through DayZ. Hence the title DSLR's are a very common camera as well as a very good alternative to renting/buying a $30,000 camera. Especially considering this is a new company. Corridor Digital is a small production company based on youtube in which whom used DSLR's when they first started making shorts, now that they have found success at it, they have moved to high end cameras such as the Red Scarlett. We aim to reach this level if our videos end up working out! The camera we used was a Canon70D with a 200mm lens attached to a Professional Camera rig with a pull focus and a matte box. A bit more than just any DSLR hook-up. :D Thanks for your comment! It would be more useful to me if you could be a bit more constructive, that way I know what to improve on and what to upgrade! :)

    Ever wished there was a live-action interpretation of some of your most memorable moments of DayZ? How about one that can catch the atmosphere of DayZ? Well, My company, Lotims Inc, decided to create one for all those of you who have been wanting to see one! This took exactly two weeks, that way it fits into our every other week video release schedule! I would love to get the opinions from the DayZ community! What were some things in the video that relate to your own experiences in DayZ? Tell us about them! EDIT: Our BehindTheScenes video has gone live. Come check out how we made the video if you are interested! http://youtu.be/8YWJxKldQCA
