“Friction” Production Stills

Yesterday, I filmed the music video, “Friction,” from The Happily Entitled’s upcoming EP album. I have to say, everything went great! We got some really beautiful shots. I had a good time. If anything, I got a little sun burnt. I want to go ahead and share some production stills from the shoot. Keep in mind these are raw stills (downsized from 4K) from the shoot and may not be the exact shots used in the final production of the music video.

The music video will debut on a future episode of Uncovering Oklahoma in about a month, before the release of their album on June 11th. Stay turned for updates!

Edmond Food Truck Festival and OKC Indoor Skydiving


In the new weekly Uncovering Oklahoma video, Jill Castilla talks about Heard on Hurd, a monthly food truck, music, and shopping festival in Downtown Edmond. Joining Jill to talk about the event is Stephen Viljoen of The Patriarch and Pam Lafollette and Farah Walker.

Then Evan Comer describes the sensation of indoor skydiving at iFly in Oklahoma City, which everyone can do!

Tomorrow, I’m shooting a music video with local rock band, The Happily Entitled, which will make it’s debut on Uncovering Oklahoma later in the month! I don’t want to give away too much about the project, but it’s going to be artsy and awesome.

Oklahoma Arts Day, Decopolis, and Tulsa Art Deco Museum


Uncovering Oklahoma talks about Oklahomans for the Arts’ event, Oklahoma Arts Day and why public funding for the arts is important with Julia Kirt (Oklahomans for the Arts), Erinn Gavaghan (Norman Arts Council), Jessica Farling (Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art), and Melissa Smith (Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art). It’s an inspiriting video that will be relevant past the yearly Oklahoma Arts Day. It’s a slower pace than some of my other videos, but with the subject matter and the help of the music, it works rather well.

Following the Arts Day segment is an interview with William Franklin, the owner of Tulsa retail shop that’s more of an experience, DECOPOLIS, and the Tulsa Art Deco Museum.

Next week’s video will involve coffee.

Come see it!

Serendipitous of a Feather

This whole photo shoot session was completely serendipitous. I was at the Norman Music Festival when this woman was wanting to take a picture of this lady and her bird. My wife suggested they take the photo in the alleyway behind MAINSITE where there’s this mural featuring birds by Skip Hill. I had my Panasonic camera with me as I was taking pictures and video of the music festival for Uncovering Oklahoma, and so I tagged along, to show them where the mural was located and to take a few pictures myself.

These photographs are not for sale. This was only a fun, serendipitous moment I wanted to share.
