  • Dave Christenson plus 1 year ago

    Dave, first of all, beautiful shots and secondly, I think we must live in the same neighborhood if not the same street, some of that landscape and angles (like the cranes) are really familiar to me :)
  • Dave Christenson plus 1 year ago
    thanks man! i'm on Franklin & Van Ness...how about you?
  • Leslie Foster 1 year ago
    Thanks for the comments on Interregnum (I love old warehouse). So Franklin and Van Ness eh? I'm on Hollywood and Van Ness :)

    Dave! I've just watched all of your stuff. Fantastic! I am supposed to get a xh g1 on monday...so till then...I'm cracking out on test footage. Question. How do you create the flash "wipe" at :20 secs. Do you edit in FCP? Again. AWSOME!

    Ok, I know I'm 6 months late to comment.. Dave your cinematography, editing and musical taste is awesome! I loove the camera you're using! I know Anna, Audrey & have heard of Adam. Adam lives in the same building my friend Dom lives in. I've shot her on that same rooftop.
    Can you come and capture one of my fashion shoots? lol..
    Good job mate! Cheers!
