Shot Diary - Continued

The number one goal is preserving the integrity of the artist. Whether it is a wedding, concert or unique performance, I try to capture the essence of the moment. This usually takes place more in the editing phase, but the footage has to be there. From a technical perspective, you want to match the choreographed motion to create the illusion of a multi-camera shoot, but that gets dicey when the installations are more free-form in structure. For this reason, I take a more interpretive approach. Many times that requires re-arranging the true chronology in favor of a more expressive feeling. The non-linear nature of this event made it fun to edit. Every opportunity is an opportunity to learn something new. CPM

Michael White has been producing videos/music in Santa Barbara for almost 10 years. He has been gaining recognition for his eye in capturing the soul of the moment. His sensitive and intimate style has continued to grow and mature since his first film classes in the early 80s.
