Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
Here’s a fun piece written by Zane Rutledge and Jeff Stolhand for Dell and BW Films. With classic voice over by Rolf Saxon juxtaposed to the goofy “geek-culture” animation by Zane Rutledge, this corporate video achieves delivering its message with amusing charm.
I had a blast editing this cool music video for Tessy Lou and the Shotgun Stars. The project was shot on location in Montana and the post was done in Austin at Austin video production company Expressions in Video.

I recently added a “Master of the Game” photo gallery to the photo section of the website. It was about this time of year when we shot “Master of the Game” at the Austin Studios, so it just got me thinking about the project. I always thought it was a good example of how indie filmmaking can reach around the world.. After all, a movie starring an actor from Turkey… another actor from Amsterdam… directed by a guy from the Midwest… with a story that takes place in Germany… and the entire film is shot in Texas… I just think that’s kinda cool.
Post production for the film was completed at Austin Video Production company Expressions in Video.

Here’s a cool spot, directed by Zane Rutledge, that I produced with Gray Haddock. Our film group MadHatterCollective is doing some fun, edgy stuff. The stars are Kelly Grace and Zach Thompson.

Okay, we didn’t actually shake anyone all night long, but we did shoot all night long. The MadHatterCollective founded by Zane Rutledge, Paul Gandersman, Gray Haddock and Jeff Stolhand shot from dusk ’til dawn on the web series (and potential TV pilot) Do-Overs. The shoot took place at the ominous Seaholm power plant in downtown Austin and featured Ben Wolfe, Drew Whelpley, Ken Thomas and Jimmy Gonzales. Utilizing the new DSLR technology, the crew was able to shoot under low light conditions with minimal lighting that allowed DP Paul Gandersman and camera operator GrayHaddock to maximize the beautiful Austin sky line that surrounds the power plant.
Re-posted from Zane TV:
ZaneTV recently developed some exciting new television creative for Fired Up, Inc. and their Carino’s Italian Restaurants. We’ll be shooting and rolling out a very fun — and unique — TV campaign over the next six months (as well as helping with Carino’s viral/social experience), but we got the snowball rolling with this clever holiday idea conceived by a waitress who works at the restaurant.
This holiday spot features the wide-eyed (and incredibly professional) Diego P. from Calliope Talent. Directed by Jeff Stolhand, co-produced by Jeff and I, and lensed by Paul Gandersman. Compositing and some digital “snow” enhances overcranked live-action footage shot with the Red Camera. This spot was shot and delivered inside one week (well, we did shoot a test a week earlier, so technicallytwo weeks total). (And yes, that is me on the VO!)
We look forward to shooting many more of these… and to expanding the way people think about Carino’s Italian.
Just produced “Geek Love” with Zane Rutledge and Gray Haddock for MadHatterCollective.
The shoot was fun.
The cast was awesome.
The spot goes live this week.

Just wrapped a commercial spot shot on the Red. We opted for the Red Camera because the spot required a variety of slow motion shots (all at different speeds) to be married together in post. All in all, very happy with the results.
I was only 6 or 7 years old when I saw this movie at the local HS gym during a student fund raising carnival. My dad taught at the school at the time, so our whole family went. Still one of my all time favorite films. Happy Halloween!
