youtu.be/uF3tLRWRezE I was called in to direct and photograph the opening cinematic for this trailer. Could only be done with great coworkers and partners.

I haven’t bought a piece of physical media in a few years. I think Outland and Moon 44 were the last time. I couldn’t pass up a 4K remaster of Excalibur.

I don’t know why but Gone in 60 Seconds is highly watchable.

I'm sure you've already spent your hard-earned $£€ etc. in the Steam sale, but if you want something relaxing and lovely, please consider our games and the casual games that we publish (Jewel Match series and Clutter series). Many bargains! Thanks. store.steampowered.com/publisher/Gr...

🔥Most recent work!🔥 1 scene that was done as NIS isn't included in this upload but this is almost the entirety of my last batch of cinematics. I'd say not bad for turning this amount + kind of content around in less than a month 💪 #gameaudio #sounddesign #gamecinematics #mechwarrior

It was a pleasure to direct and photograph the Cinematics for our newest Mechwarrior release. Doing these trailers always feels like the finishing touch. In the last ten months we’ve done more than 75 minutes of cinematics with an incredibly driven team. Hope you enjoy! youtu.be/WymTkIyPKu4?...

Yeah, but did you see Vancouver win against Dallas in the MLS?

If you want to see incredible lighting and photography rent/watch “Went up the Hill”. I enjoyed the movie as well, but I aspire to make something that looks that good.

I’m watching Emmanuelle. So far it is amazing. It almost has a Sam Raimi tone. Overwrought and glorious.

I’m honestly excited to watch this killer Hippo movie. youtu.be/dXbGJ7T7S_M?...

@a4epodcast.bsky.social I honestly think that Osiris is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. Action top to bottom, tasteful visual effects work, recognizable characters, straight ahead grounded writing, an actual tone, new elements every ten minutes, and a pace that moves.

Matthew Leigh @frontlinefire.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

I’m watching Rust. It’s heartbreaking seeing this film. Any on set accident is terrible and unfair to everyone. The talent we lost here was incredibly special.

@a4epodcast.bsky.social Today on Apple TV it is seemingly cheaper to buy Sniper: The Last Stand than it is to rent it.

The FAIRY DUST campaign has stalled out quite a bit this weekend. Could really use some help from my movie, comics, and art communities to help spread the word about this film fundraiser.

In the last 12 months my Uncle had a quadruple bypass, my Mother had a valve done, my Father was in a hospital for a month with a foot infection that required medical intervention, and Mother in law in hospital for a month for infection. All in BC, Canada, all at no cost, low to no waits.

In case you were unsure…most of the world is a pretty good place to live…especially if you have 5 MILLION DOLLARS! You know how far that goes in sunny Thailand? You can own beachfront and still have 4.6 million dollars to live however you want.

Frame grabs from video. Embracing the Eggers aspect ratio. What camera system are these from?

@turkishmeatchugger.bsky.social Have you seen the trailer for Old Guy? Been a while since I’ve looked forward to a Simon West movie!

Hot Take, Boyka.Undisputed 4 is better than 3. Why? It’s a more human story with human stakes. Also I was convinced in the last fight scenes that the outcome wasn’t guaranteed.

The Antag faces the Protag early in the movie, surrounded by his goons. Antag: I am Antonio …I fucking run this city. No one dares defy me! Now fuck off before I kill you. Protag *kills Antonio with a face punch*

Rachel Portman’s soundtrack for The Return is pretty excellent as well.

Matthew Leigh @frontlinefire.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

The Return is one of those movies like Old Henry where the budget is just enough to pay for it all and then elevate it beyond with excellent performances and photography.
