FARfromEARTH Films is a commercial video production company in Bend Oregon

This month has brought tons of interesting projects. as the summer winds down we have 3 music videos still in the works and hope they are going to be released soon. Ishi Dube "Like Rain" Woven Roots "Amazon" and Versatial "Washington" and dont forget the long awaited "Microchip" by Jah Sun. In August I took a little hiatus from the music video world and teamed up with Sky Pinnick on the latest Rage production. A pilot for a tv series with host Whit Bazemore(former funny car champion turned road cyclist). Two Wheels One Planet is a character driven reality series following Whit Bazemore as he travels around the world to cycle some of the most beautiful lost highways imaginable. Just finishing that one and hoping to sell to ESPN ,Travel Channel, or Verses. We've also began production on 3 political commercial spots. But not your typical spots. they are all comedies and I've had a great time working on them even though I'm on the other side of the fence on the issues. Selling out? maybe, maybe not. Also I've been working on editing 3 episodes of the Outdoor Channel hit series Adventure Guides with dynamic host John Dietsch. and begin production on Brian Lee(Korea) latest music video. as well as a custom guitar feature with Breedlove Guitars and producer/singer/songwriter Franchot Tone.....and thats about it. Hoping to take a vacation really really soon. Maybe take the family to the southwest as soon as i get caught up here...like in November. anyway hope everyone is doing well out there.

NEW MUSIC VIDEO!! LEIF JAMES "HERE I GO"

Tim Cash of FARfromEARTH Films here. I had the pleasure of working with singer/songwriter Leif James this week. We didnt have much as far as budget so we went gonzo and shot for about an hour maybe an hour an a half then posted till later in the evening and had it up on vimeo by 10pm the same day. We went super simple on this one. all natural light and the canon 7d. A camera which I've absolutely fallen in love with. it took me a while to get the hang of it. but now I feel as though its my new best friend. its so small and with the cheap 50mm 1.8 lense it weighs almost nothing. in fact I tried to shoot it with the higher end 50mm 1.2 but I think the lens weighs more than the body and I was getting used to the weighting of the other lense so decided to shoot it on the cheaper and much much lighter 1.8 . you might think this is weird but going handheld with this camera is the biggest challenge especially when not shooting at 60p. But I've figured out a locked elbo style that seems to keep the vibrations almost out. anyway check out the video. I was able to capture the real rough around the edges and super talented Leif James.
