At the “Memory Motel” with Kat Rardi.🏩

Portraits from her music video shoot last fall as I was the 2nd unit cinematographer.

Dir: Anthony Cally

🎞: 35mm, Kodak Portra400

#analogphotography #shootfilm #behindthescenes
Kat Rardi sits in the middle of a golden bed with two electric candelabra sconces on either side of her. A blue flare streaks across the top of the frame. Kat Rardi reaches out towards a memory as if trying to touch it. She sits in the center of the bed. Kat poses with an apple while sitting on the bed. A cherub chandelier floats above her like a guardian angel. Light glows behind Kat from the candelabra. Kat, a damsel in distress, overwhelmed by the memories.

A street sign at Echo Park that has been redesigned to reflect the views of the community. Taken in 2020, yet even more relevant today.

Be kind to yourselves, and each other.

A street sign at Echo Park that has been redesigned to reflect the views of the community. Up top, someone wrote “F*ck White Supremacy”. Underneath is a sign prohibiting vending, which has been crossed out. Palm trees stand behind, as if having the sign’s back.

Fun fact: this was the first roll of film I shot, and this was the first photo, taken in 2020.

Shot over 5 days in the summer of 2023!
Camera: Blackmagic Pocket 6k
Gaffer: Nadia Kelm

Rain Machine: 40 gal pressure washer rigged to a custom welded rain machine my bf built for me. It was a DIY situation but it worked.
Nadia (gaffer) and I rigging the rain machine. 40gal pressure washer tank. We stripped the spray nozzle to allow more flow. I would say 8/10 rig. Works great, not entirely perfect, but adjustable!

Hello Bluesky!

I’m loving the photography community so far, but I’m searching for the filmmaker community as well! Are you out there?

Here are some still frames from a dance film I shot in 2023, HOME. Details in comments.

Director/Producer/Choreo: Dani Burd

#cinematography #film #dance #stills
5 dancers face their backs to camera. A hollow metal frame of a house stands in the middle of a desert landscape. The sun is setting in the west. Tori, sits exhausted on a sofa. Rain is pouring from the sky. A wet suitcase sits haphazardly next to Tori on the sofa. Mel in movement for her piece in HOME. The golden sun sets behind her, flaring into the lens. A vast landscape expands behind her. Madi and Will run away from their problems when the night falls.

A closeup shot of a gilded lake, catching the rays of the setting sun. Small golden stars of light glitter off the water. A perspective shot of the surface of the lake, showing a trail of golden glitter to showcase the direction of the setting sun. The water itself has a pink/purple hue that gives the water an otherworldly feel.

A close up shot of a person-made floral landscape. A bright flower on fuzzy green moss draws the eye, and little mushrooms and other foliage create an Alice in Wonderland-like world.

6. Had to get in a sky diving plane in 2022 to shoot behind the scenes photos for a Sony campaign. Being in a plane with the door open at 14,000 feet in the air was quite the experience. Very grateful for a good cloud day!

4. I have a cat, her name is Mooch. Or Moocheemoo. Or MooMoo. Or Moo Cow. Or The Mooch. Or Fur Llama. Or Fuzz Monkey.

I have a lot of amazing photos of her like this.

How many nicknames do you have for your pet?

3. A new perspective!

I think it’s really cute that people all collectively take this photo if they can while traveling. Things that unite us in the smallest of ways make my heart smile!

Looking out the window of an airplane, you see the wing catch morning light as it travels across the midwestern sky. Clouds blanket the skies below the plane.

3. This exercise motivated me to clear out my camera roll, & I have found photos I forgot about, yet love.

This one comes with a message. Tap to see what it says. ♡

Cheers, everyone.

A dappled outdoor statue catches bits of sun through the dense shade of the trees around it. The note above it says: “The problem is that judgement is loud, and genuine awe is almost always silent. It’s a horrible tragedy that love is so often quiet.”
