Hi everyone! I'm late to the party. I was weathering the arrival of Hilary here in LA. And we had an earthquake to top it off!
I hope you had a great weekend. I'm happy to welcome all the new members here and connect with existing ones. I'm a cinematographer with 15 years of experience in films, docs, commercials, branded, music videos and corporate content. My background is in writing and photography.
I'm looking for engaging stories to tell and good human beings to collaborate with.

Always good to see you on here Gareth Taylor . I'm late to the party as well. Our daughter left for college yesterday so we were spending as much time as we possibly could before she left. How are you doing?

Ah yes, Hurricane Hilary left many travelers stranded, including my sister and niece. They drove as little as possible to avoid the slick roads and potential flash floods. Glad your safe.

Gareth Taylor That’s a great showreel Gareth and thank you for sharing. I see you’ve used VFX in your work and wondered about maintaining a balance between distracting/holding back the story and attracting/pushing the narrative forward?

Geoff Hall Thank you! There's actually only one shot on my reel that utilized VFX. Everything else is practical. I do my best to do as much in camera as possible and avoid relying on VFX.

Gareth Taylor You're right, it is. It's like yanking out a part of my soul every time her car drives off. Thankfully, this is her last year and she'll be home afterwards. She says she wants to try her hand at acting. Should be fun. Good to hear from you! So glad you've had some work come in!
You're welcome, Gareth Taylor.
