The Final Filming of a Photography Miniseries – An Update

Kaos-and-Controll
An outtake from some filming we did recently. Sometimes you can’t avoid a movie reference.

Watch the trailer – PLUS,  pre-order PHOTOGRAPHICS and save.

The PHOTOGRAPHICS Miniseries is well under way – In fact Gavin and the crew are on the road for a month right now and are filming spectacular footage around the west that will make this study all the more fun. The Fall color out here is breathtaking. You can follow along right here.

But it’s not all epic landscapes and Gavin exploring. We’re taking on the tough questions of photography and we’re also going to masters of the craft and asking what makes a great photograph. In a recent interview we drove to Oregon for a one on one with famed Wilderness Photographer Rodney Lough Jr. His insights were golden and we can’t wait to show them to you in the finished series.

Talking to Rodney Lough Jr. about what makes a great image.

The film is still on Schedule for a late November release. We know you’re waiting and we’re as excited to finish this huge project as you are to watch it. PHOTOGRAPHICS has been almost a year in planning and it’s shaping up to be like no other photography film ever made.

This week we were in Nevada near Great Basin National Park. We pulled some amazing footage from there and thought you might enjoy this little outtake from the series. This was filmed on our C100, which has made our on-location work that much better.

Watch the trailer. Plus  pre-order PHOTOGRAPHICS and save.

This is super exciting for us since EXposed was a brand new direction in workshop films that is not being done much. We’re really proud of it. We worked hard for the cinematic approach in this 4+ hour series, roaming thousands of miles and visiting incredible locations to study light and discuss how we can better use it. We did just that.

EXposed has humble roots – We jumped in head first and worked hard resulting in a film that was better than we ever imagined. It got rave reviews and now this HOT ONE award on top if it all helps to reenforce that our idea was indeed a good one.

If you have not seen EXposed now is the time. It’s guaranteed to make you a better image maker. Pick up a Download or DVD copy. You won’t be disappointed and the value is better than most workshops you’ve seen.

You can even watch a series of free segments from EXposed right here.

The New Seim Effects Promo Reel

It’s no secret we love using video to convey our message here at Seim Effects. From a marketing perspective we’ve learned that nothing sells products like video does. From an education perspective we’ve learned that nothing is more flexible to learn from than video. So we keep doing more of it and encourage others to do the same.

This has been on the menu for some time, but we finally made the Seim Effects promo. It’s a homepage introduction that we believe every company should have. In our case it tells a bit about what we do here at Seim Effects, how we work and why our product and service is unique. It has a little fun along the way too.

Seim Studios actually just started a spinoff compact that will focus entirely on filmmaking for our own projects as well as yours. It’s called Opera Chicken Films. We also just picked up the new Canon C100 Cinema Camera and are really ramping up production for our new projects. It’s going to be an exciting journey. You can learn more about these new projects on the Opera Chicken website.
