Todd and I returned last week from San Francisco and the Re:Frame Filmmakers conference. It was 4 days of intense shooting technique, business management, HD workflow, branding & marketing, creative storytelling techniques, social media and more.

We both learned so much during the 4 days and are exciting to putting those things into action as we move ahead into 2010. More than anything though, we were encouraged by all the relationships we built with other filmmakers around the world. We’re also very thankful to the 4 filmmaker who founded the Re:Frame Collective: Kristin Bliss, Bruce Patterson, Jason Magbanua and Julie Hill.

Here’s a few photos from our week in San Francisco.

    I loved the view from the back deck of the Party night. Alana is the model and good friend of mine that I went “Wow” you look hot Alana and commenced filming at the same time as Oleg. She looked like a movie star. Too much fun with everyone!

What a crazy last few days it’s been. We’re in San Francisco now, but the journey here began last Friday morning as I flew to Leavenworth, Washington to take pictures (still and motion) for Whitney and Wes’s engagement shoot. Saturday, I flew to Portland and met up with Todd to shoot Lauren and Aaron’s wedding.

Sunday morning we flew out to the Re:Frame Filmmakers Conference in San Francisco. We just finished out first day of classes and have been so impressed by what we’ve learned in just one day. It’s been invaluable to learn from the industry’s best and to chat and share stories and ideas with others around the world doing what we’re doing. Below is a short video done by a couple of our fellow filmmakers. It highlights the beginning of the conference.
