Very first attempt. Just grabbed a camera, a kid, a cat and
went out with little more than an idea and a hastily
scribbled shot list. Be the outcome as it may the real value
here was in the learning experience I had by just doing it.

A little more prep time and a few more bodies
here. Still learning. Added some production value I
think with moving shots achieved with a jib, a
couple of dollies and a car mount - all homemade.

These are three segments of production footage I shot at
Fort Bragg, CA. during my son-in-law's film school project
entitled, "Flounder." In the first segment I shot the story as
it unfolds. In the second you have my version of "Behind"
the scenes. And in the third just a number of random
shots depicting the fun that can be had in the shooting
process.
The actor in "Flounder" is my son Michael Holder who is a
dedicated actor and one who is definitely willing to make
sacrifices for his art - that water was freeeeeeezzzzzzzing!

This is a short film by my son-in-law Mike
Houghton that was shot at the SF Academy of Art
studios. He did a great job directing a small crew
and a great piece of work was the result. The
actors were acting students at the Academy. The
sound and lighting guys were also students and I
ran camera. My daughter, Jonna, was the
producer and provided food services.
Check out Mike's other work at
www.tropicalduckfilms.com. He recently graduated
the San Francisco Academy of Art film director's
program and is currently in the Los Angeles area
looking to make his mark on the film making world.
