My
first paying job was a commercial for a gentleman's
club. It didn't pay very well but I did learn a
lot about shot composition.
While shooting "Mysteries
of the Americas" in Mexico, I had to rent
a car and drive to another city for a shoot. I
will never complain about traffic in L.A. again!
While shooting "The
Gathering" I left a Steppenwolf concert we
were shooting after a very long day. I just happened
to be on my bike. I got on, started it up, put
it in gear, let out the clutch, and immediately
crashed! I forgot to unlock the forks!

"St.
Paul Hospital" - This was a great project
to be a part of. The live action plates
were shot in 35mm film and cut to an animated
