Google Mapping and Scouting
We have been off to a running start this year. Currently, we are prepping for a campaign for a cell phone company to be shot in Los Angeles. My producer and I have been busy going over the details including selection of the locations. Google Maps’ Street View has been amazing at enabling us to [...]
High Above The Eventi!
I was shooting an outdoor party set-up for Kimpton Hotel Group at the new Eventi hotel here in New York City. It’s conveniently right around the corner from my office at 29th and 6th Avenue. The outdoor space is a patio deck area that is five stories up and I thought it would look great [...]
Jumping for JWT
Originally, we hoped to shoot in LA after the last shoot but with recent rains the lakes dropped to 52 degrees. … This was a combination of stills and video, including some water footage with a 5D in a housing. 
Behind the Scenes at a Video Shoot
The Making of Nivea/Labello Video
The Making of Labello from Chris Sanders on Vimeo. Here is a “Making Of” video that we did for my Nivea/Labello photoshoot in Barcelona.
Two Live Action TV commercials
Since much of my lifestyle print is based on scripted action, talent that can act, and a fluid camera style, I felt very nature with a live action commercial. For you tech heads, we shot with the RED and not because of it’s ability to do 4K stills but it’s large sensor which allowed us to use some excellent optics like Cooke primes and Anginuex zooms.
USPS Ad Shoot
I can’t show you the final shot but we shot at the Thom Bar with a main talent and several extras…. The background I use hot lights lke source fours and HMI’s to alow me to see the lighting as well as apply some blur if I want to.
AAS–Casting
The casting is being done by my long time casting director Stephanie Cohen (who also produces sometimes for me).(www) She casts in video for me because I like to see how well the talent can act…. After she completes her casting day, the shoot is upload to a website so that the AD and I can pick out selects.
AAS–Production
Stuart Hart of The New Cruelty is the crack producer on this job. He’s extremely detailed oriented and not beyond getting his hands dirty scouting and triple checking the location before we get there. Stuart has hired location scout Mark of Where’ bouts. Mark has culled his files to find us some locations based on [...]
AAS–Bristol-Myers Squibb(Day Two)
Well,we are in a big daylight studio on a big sunny day but that doesn’t matter because the set is dark and my only sun is to come from the large HMI I set up. A fine school room set was built by Micheal Bednark. I’m not a big set person because I like to [...]
