Tim Cash becomes a music video director

sure I had shot a few music videos 1 man run and gun style before this year. but this was the year that changed my professional life & career . pushed me further and learned more than all the other years combined.the push began in late November of 2009 and continued till now. We added a new key player to the team this year...the team mostly being him and I . thats Chris Kas, the one and only everything specialist guy!! and in a few music video where the budget called for it. we added new team members Sky Pinnick & Byron Garth. also super talented visual specialists. this year also saw the use of the RED camera on a few music videos. we also gravitated away from the typical pro-videocameras and joined the DSLR movement using the new 7D & 5D respectively.

Cloaked Characters NEW MUSIC VIDEO

Not very often do I here a tune before we start the production process. in this case I had the album for a year and was a fan of the music and this song was specifically my favorite. Cloaked Characters is a Hip Hop duo comprised of Jay Tablet & Rory ONEders. Nice beats with catchy hooks and verses that can spit across a crouded barn and hit the Spitune....? not sure on the spelling...anyway, I shot this on 3rd street which is the main drag in Bend Oregon won chilly November evening.
ft. on the track is JoAnna Lee singing the deep soulful hook. Alright check it out!!

Shot entirely off the grid. All lights,batteries and equipment powered by our Mobile Solar System.

Shot on the Canon 7d in a Jetta on 3rd Street in
Bend Oregon

music video for BRIAN LEE

hey everyone. you may notice the new face of FFE. Our new site is off the ground we love it. you can keep up with all the action right from one page now. lets make it easy on everyone. With fall brings a whole new group of fun projects. first in production now is the music video for Korean singer/songwriter Brian Lee. The song Devil Hunting is a hard hitting political piece about governments and branding our enemies for the masses. we're going to step it up a notch with this(because we like to step it up a notch every video) and see what our imaginations came up with as imagery to Brian's song. did I mention Brian is In Korea and wont be in the video. so really bring on the imagery this time. we'll be heading to Korea to shoot his next video "Love To Me" ok enough words for one page . See you all out there. in fact looking for some extras for mondays shoot. anyone anyone . out

Here is a new music video directed by Tim Cash. Shot on location in Eureka California this was supposed to be a much more involved video with clips from the past but turned into more of a simple piece just featuring Jamaican singer/songwriter Itawe. He has a great presence in front of the camera. Hope you all enjoy him and his message.

2010 to Date "Its a music video year"

So ths year has been a cray one. Still trying to come up for air...and breathe. Anyway, in late November of last year I got a call from Jah Sun to do another music video. It had been two years since we had worked together . Since then I've shot 10 or maybe 12 music videos. I'm still editing on 6 of them though.

completed music videos since November are:
Jah Sun "Do Good"
Essential I "Future Cops"
Jah Sun "Meditation"
Collective Elements "Superpurplefunkalistic"
Jah Sun "Jamaica"
Leif James "Here I Go"

and then there are the soon to be released.

Jah Sun "Microchip"
Magic Heart Genies "Good Look"
Magic Heart Genies "Get Mystical"
Woven Roots "Amazon"
Ishi Dube "Like Rain"
Itawe "Overload"

So I'm running a little behind but hope to release the last six within the next couple of weeks. Also added a new camera to the arsenal. the Canon 7D. its my new favorite toy....or tool, I should say

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.

The video as already had some press in its first day:

"Microchip" shoot a success!

SARAH HALL, SARAH,KYLA,& HAYLEY
SKY PINNICK ,THE RED, AND THE VIBE CREW
KYLA
Hello everyone. The Jah Sun "Microchip" music video shoot was a success. We stepped it up with this production bringing in many talented people. Including Stylist Mona Mensing who is responsible for the over-all look and style of the piece. Sarah Hall came on as Choreographer as well as casting our talented dancers and nailed it. She had a challenge ahead of her having to choreograph to the song at a slower speed so we could speed them up in post-production. The girls looked better than I had ever expected. Sky Pinnick signed on as DP and is responsible for the stunning cinematography on this project and ofcourse Chris Kas, the everything man responsible for the planning, props, the set and so much more. Oh yeah and me, Tim Cash. I got to direct and edit. It was an amazing experience.

JAH SUN "MICROCHIP" COMING SOON from FARfromEARTH Films on Vimeo.

We raised the bar with this one and hope to see it get out there. Stay tuned for the behind-the-scenes video as well as ofcourse the final product itself. See you soon.

Its the third instalment in te trilogy of videos built for the carribean audience. We'll also be shooting with Ishi Dube for his latest track "Like Rain".

Super excited to break out the Kessler Crane. We're getting used to it and have some new ideas for these next projects. We're trying to step it up with each production so we'll se how it goes.

Along for the shoot also is Chris Kas who has been a huge help (he's my third eye) joining the FARfromEARTH team since "Future Cops" w/ Essential I & Promoe and also "Meditation" w/ Jah Sun and Queen Omega. Chris Kas is filling the shoes of assistant director/art director/prop master/ and overall mega-hitter on the set. He's part of the "stepping it up" process that has been going on at FARfromEARTH. anyway look from some stills by Chris Kas......yet another invaluable role he fills. Ok see on the flipside!!
