These are the photos we shot. We spent all day putting together a rather complex lighting
- [Sing His Praises - An Interfaith Concert](https://www.gurustump.com/sing-his-praises-an-interfaith-concert/) - Somehow the people in charge of this Christmas concert found out that I shoot video and am not very adept at saying no. They therefore asked to come help them with their production. They didn't seem to know exactly what they wanted from me, so I made the mistake of asking whether they wanted me
- [The Scarlet Pimpernel](https://www.gurustump.com/the-scarlet-pimpernel/) - I managed to get myself involved in a play this Spring. I had notions of trying to direct a play myself (Shakespeare's Twelth Night was the leading contender), only to discover that someone else was ramping up to do this one, and would probably be pulling from the same pool of actors that I would

- [William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night](https://www.gurustump.com/william-shakespeares-twelfth-night/) - I acted in a community theater production of William Shakespeare's popular comedy Twelfth Night. We put the show on 4 times, starting on the 12th of September, and running every Friday and Saturday night until the 20th. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I was cast as Malvolio, the closest thing in the show to a villain. In something
- [Neil Simon's Fools](https://www.gurustump.com/neil-simons-fools/) - This was another bit of community theater I got to participate in. The same crew that produced Shakespeare's Twelfth Night brought it about. You may notice a trend: I was once again cast as the villain--this time the nefarious Count Gregor Yousekevitch. Cathy Hoyt was once again our illustrious director. Here is the full cast

- [Love, Lust, and Carbon Monoxide](https://www.gurustump.com/love-lust-and-carbon-monoxide/) - In 1978, a glam rock band from Great Britain called Sweet was on their way to musical obscurity. The era of musicians in sparkling tight pants, pink scarves and blaze orange platform boots was coming to an end thanks to this new thing called “Punk.” But Sweet had one last hit percolating in their minds.
- [Late Night Worker](https://www.gurustump.com/late-night-worker/) - I just got a Canon 7D, and got to put it through its paces working on a little movie called "Late Night Worker."

- [Guerrilla Gallery: "Hiding"](https://www.gurustump.com/guerrilla-gallery-hiding/) - A couple of artist buddies of mine wanted to put on an art show.

The movies are usually very short (the rules of the festival for the last several years have limited them to 4 minutes) and pretty silly. Most people just try to throw together a couple of gags and call

You've heard us called the Mormons. Individual congregations of our church are called wards. Most wards have something like 200-300 people in them, I think. I'm also single. They have special wards for single

"Elfie") held another white elephant gift party at the venerable Ohio House (where he no longer even lives, but I gather it was the only venue available) this past Thursday. Not wanting the festivities to go undocumented, I brought my camera. You may peruse the results below. 12th Annual White

- [Shaking Presents](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/shaking-presents/) - I'm pretty amazed at some of the compositing work and trickery that Mike Hammari used in the Christmas Barrel video to animate the teddy bear and the toy soldier in the blister pack. Sometimes it was a matter of locking down the camera and compositing parts of two shots from that setup together, and sometimes
- [The Mouse Before Christmas](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/the-mouse-before-christmas/) - Mike Hammari found this delightful little children's book by Michael Garland and decided it would make a lovely video for our Christmas Barrel YouTube channel. He had me do the reading, and handled all the motion graphics himself, though the illustrations themselves are from the book.
- [Krampus Uncovered](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/krampus-uncovered/) - This is the first of our "On Point with Todd Zestermann" episodes and our most popular Christmas Barrel movie. We shot this on my Canon 7D for the most part (one shot was done with my iPhone). I imagine part of the reason this sketch has a few more views on YouTube than some of
- [The Confrontation](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/the-confrontation/) - We shot this little Christmas Barrel sketch hand held on my Canon 7D. Nice job by actress Taryn Hough to carry the thing by herself for most of the time. Some of our longer lasting relationships started with this sketch. We first met actors Jeremiah Benjamin and Kurtis Anton on this show. If you look
- [Not Much of a Wonderland](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/not-much-of-a-wonderland/) - We shot the entirety of this delightful little music video on a green screen with my FS700. Our director, Mike Hammari, was the only one who knew how this was really all going to cut together and work with the backgrounds he was going to be adding in post, so I think he did quite
- [Hope Humanitarian - Sarah Franklin Interview](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/hope-humanitarian-sarah-franklin-interview/) - Hope Humanitarian is a non-profit organization that gives succor to the world's most vulnerable people. I decided to accompany them on an expedition to Bangladesh.

- [And They Were Sore Afraid](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/and-they-were-sore-afraid/) - We shot part of this ridiculous Christmas Barrel sketch out in some desert/wilderness our director Mike Hammari was familiar with, and the other part on a theatrical stage inside of a church (perhaps rather fittingly) in front of a blue screen. I nearly wasn't able to find the outdoor location in the middle of the
- [The Garage](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/the-garage/) - One of my favorite North Pole Secrets sketches that we shot for Christmas Barrel, this one features a spirited performance by the only elf who is willing to stand up to Santa.

- [Christmas Slow Motion with Gravy](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/christmas-slow-motion-with-gravy/) - When you need to make 24 videos in 24 days, sometimes you need an idea that you can crank out in a couple of hours.

- [Research & Development](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/research-development/) - Yet another in our series of North Pole Secrets sketches for Christmas Barrel, this one is one of my favorites.

- [Feast of St. Thomas Uncovered](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/feast-of-st-thomas-uncovered/) - This is one of my favorite Christmas Barrel movies. It's the second of our "On Point with Todd Zestermann" episodes, and it deals with a traditional European holiday that falls into the Christmas season. We shot on my Sony FS700 at multiple locations and with substantially more cast than our productions usually involve.
- [I'm So So Sorry, Santa](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/im-so-so-sorry-santa/) - Considered by many to be one of our more warped videos on Christmas Barrel, this music video features music and a head from a guy called Dan Riley, and the body of a little girl named Lux. Mike Hammari provided the sometimes rudimentary compositing, and suddenly we have a very creepy little boy apologizing to
- [Gary, Ted & Bob Meet Santa](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/gary-ted-bob-meet-santa/) - This was my favorite film from the 2015 season of Christmas Barrel. We had a very limited crew on this one, and were lucky that friends let us shoot late into the night in their living room. We shot on my Sony FS700 with my Odyssey 7Q, and lit with my LED fresnels. The moving

- [Christmas Time Hacks](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/christmas-time-hacks/) - We shot this Christmas Barrel video over the course of a couple of days at several locations and with a lot of props.

- [Jew in Choctaw Country - Episode 7 & 8](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/jew-in-choctaw-country-episode-7-8/) - This is one of my favorite collaborations with Ian Skorodin. Jew in Choctaw Country is another one of Ian's black comedy web series, but this one has portions set in the present day, and other parts set a generation ago. His vision called for a good bit of hand-held camera work, but also required us

- [Fred](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/fred/) - The multi-talented Mark Needle, an actor who has appeared in a number of the Christmas Barrel sketches I have shot, asked me to come on board his own short as DP. It was something of a departure for me, as I seem to always end up shooting some sort of contrasty, film noir look. This
- [Quality Control Room](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/quality-control-room/) - This is the first "North Pole Secrets" sketch we ever did for Christmas Barrel, our Yuletide-themed YouTube channel that runs 24 episodes as an advent calendar every year. North Pole Secrets are always recorded in a single continuous shot on a green screen, unless one of the characters had to be composited in after. This
- [Shipping Room](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/shipping-room/) - The second in our North Pole Secrets series over at ChristmasBarrel.com, I rather think this was one of the funnier ones. What do you think Dick Cheney would want for Christmas? Shot on green screen using the Canon 7D.

The annual Los Angeles LDS Singles Film Festival was upon us, her movies were shot, but she didn't have anyone to edit them. When she asked me to help, she seemed to think I was doing her a favor. It was such a delight to
- [Once Upon a Grape](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/once-upon-a-grape/) - Julie Hinton wrote this little fantasy story and asked me to come and direct it for her. We shot on a Canon 7D at several locations, and with a fair bit of green screen work to manage some of the ridiculous special effects.

- [Wave - Piss Jumpers](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/wave-piss-jumpers/) - Episode 3 of Wave saw us bringing a live band to play in what was actually the lunch room at Hamilton High School.

I came in as the gaffer. At the time, I only had a Canon 7D, so in my off moments I used it to snap behind the scenes photos, many of which can be seen in the gallery on this
- [The Burden of Being](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/the-burden-of-being/) - This short was made as part of the LA Skins Fest (a Native American film festival in Los Angeles) 48-hour shootout. It one best picture in the shootout competition. The director, Rod Pocowatchit, flew in from Kansas for just the two day shoot/post-production with us, so we had to have a lot of things squared

- [Granny's Day Out](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/grannys-day-out/) - This was my favorite of my Red4D Productions collaborations with Kevin Redford. We came up with the idea while sitting in his apartment. We had been brainstorming for a couple of hours when he got up to get something from the kitchen. In the few minutes that he was gone, I sketched out the entire
- [The Beatle Girls](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/beatle-girls/) - This little music video was made for the Los Angeles Young Adults Film Festival of 2008. None of the girls portrayed in it could play their instruments (or in some cases, at least, play them well enough) for the recording, so as I remember one fellow laid down all the various tracks for them. We
- [Billie's](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/billies/) - This was another Red4D production made with Kevin Redford. Kevin hoped one day that it could turn into a television series about 'hot girls and hot cars.' A lot of the cast did seem to go pretty far after mucking about with us, if their IMDb profiles are any indication. We shot at a motorcycle
- [Revving Wings](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/revving-wings/) - The production of this music video was rather fraught with angst and hurt feelings. As I remember it, it began with one director, Rachel Anderson, who then became fed up with the singer/songwriter Anastasia Nikiforova (who calls herself Nikki Forova when she's performing) partway through. I therefore got upgraded from director of photography to director,
- [The Tea Party](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/tea-party/) - This short was the brainchild of Kevin Redford, one of the first people I knew and worked with way back in film school. We made it for an online video contest called filmaka.com. We shot it with my old Sony FX1 HDV camera that shot only at 30fps and only interlaced (so technically 60i). I

There were several camera operators there, each with a Canon 7D or 5D. If memory serves, my camera was the medium shot. I have slightly greater faith that the story in this one may have had some basis in
- [Real Scares - Jean-Pierre](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/real-scares-jean-pierre/) - This was a little series where real people tell stories of their own personal ghost sightings. There were several camera operators there, each with a Canon 7D or 5D. If memory serves, my camera was the medium shot. I rather suspect the guy in this video was narrating a work of fiction...and a rather silly
- [Flash Bomb](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/flash-bomb/) - This ridiculous video was made as a submission for the 2012 Los Angeles Young Single Adult Film Festival. I was asked to come in and edit the thing after it was already in the can. I fear that there are some shots that are blown out here and there, but I can't really blame the

I was in fact meant as something of a public service announcement before things got started to ask people to silence their phones and refrain from talking. But of course, because
- [How to Wrap a Gift Card](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/how-to-wrap-a-gift-card/) - This is strangely one of our most popular Christmas Barrel movies. Apparently a lot of people want inspiration for strange ways to wrap presents. Shot in my living room after we shoved all my furniture into a pile in the dining area.

- [Jeremey Lappert - Hark the Herald Angels Sing](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/jeremey-lappert-hark-the-herald-angels-sing/) - For this Christmas Barrel video, we took a stab at entering the world of 360° virtual reality. We shot using my Sony FS700 and Odyssey 7Q at 4K. We had to attach a special parabolic mirror to the front of the lens that was made by a company called EyeSee360 called a "360 One VR."
- [Up on the Housetop](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/up-on-the-housetop/) - Can a Christmas Carol work as a dramatic reading. Decide for yourself.

- [Santa's Pimps & Hos](https://www.gurustump.com/shows/santas-pimps-hos/) - A slightly less wholesome Christmas sketch I shot for Rick James Productions. The camera was my Sony FS700.

Shot on the Sony FS700 with Odyssey 7Q, which made some of that extreme slow motion possible.
