FRINGE Gets Saved!
Posted by Leslie Morgan in I Design Your Eyes on April 5, 2011
Many of you may not watch the show Fringe and for that I am deeply sorry. I’ve been a fan since the beginning, quite honestly because I will watch anything with Joshua Jackson in it (Dawson’s Creek anyone?) However, what kept me watching was the show was well written, the characters well developed and the shows leads captivate me every time I watch. Read the rest of this entry »
One on One Interview with Vincent Laforet
Posted by Leslie Morgan in I Design Your Eyes on January 21, 2011
“What’s today Wednesday? This all started Monday and I don’t remember Monday anymore! I do remember yesterday, yesterday started early with a location scout for Zoic with Loni (Peristere) and ended at 2 a.m. after I spent close to ten hours color grading 396 shots at Company 3 for a ten minute piece for another short film project I directed.”
For Vincent Laforet not remembering what comes next seems to be a hazard of the job. Working at all hours of the day and night without a break seems to be typical, but nothing in Laforet’s life is really ever typical. I had the chance to sit down with this acclaimed, award winning photographer, Director of Photography and now Director at his office to talk about his past work, what he has going on today and what he hopes to be doing in the future.

Behind the Scenes: Famous Footwear “Frozen Moments”
Posted by Leslie Morgan in I Design Your Eyes on December 14, 2010
A few blog posts ago, I shared with you Director of Photography Vincent Laforet’s post on his experience on the set of the Famous Footwear commercial spot, “Frozen Moments.” Included was a behind the scenes short that was shot and edited by Chris Dowsett. I’m no DP, but I put together my own behind the scenes short video. Shot with my FlipCam and edited on Final Cut Pro 7 (with assistance from editor Alison Veneto-Grady), here is my version of what being behind the scenes was like up in Fort Langley, Canada (one hour outside of Vancouver).
The crew turned a small suburban Canadian neighborhood in the middle of summer into a winter wonderland. The shoot was done at night and though I was up for 24 straight hours, I haven’t had that much fun on a set in quite some time. Behind the scenes I interviewed the people in the neighborhood of where the spot was being shot, a slew of different crew members as well as Terence Reilly, VP of Marketing for Famous Footwear.
Check out the video below:
and of course here is the original 60 second spot:
A Director of Photography Perspective with Vincent Laforet
Posted by Leslie Morgan in I Design Your Eyes on December 2, 2010
As I have mentioned in previous blog posts, I had the opportunity to be on set back in August for a commercial spot for Famous Footwear shot in Fort Langley, British Columbia, directed by Loni Peristere. I have had the opportunity and good fortune to be on many sets all over the world and in all honesty being on this one was one of the most special for me. I can’t necessarily pin point what it was. Perhaps it was the energy and exuberance from the neighbors that came out huddling in their blankets to watch the shoot till dawn. Perhaps it was the remarkable crew that clearly enjoyed their jobs and didn’t complain once pulling an all-nighter or perhaps it was the actors that kept smiling even when the cameras stopped rolling. It was most likely the combination of it all plus the spirit of the holiday season that permeated the set even though it was summer. There was one thing that was clear, being on set that chilly August night, we were all a part of making something that we all could be proud and excited about. Vincent Laforet, the Director of Photography for the “Neighborhood” spot took time to write about his experience on the shoot. I have, with his permission, decided to put his post below in order to give a different insight into the commercial shoot. Below is also the link to Vincent’s blog and the original post. For those interested in cameras and photography it truly is a fascinating read and an incredibly informative look at the latest and greatest in camera and lighting equipment.
Behind the Scenes: Famous Footwear
Posted by Leslie Morgan in I Design Your Eyes on November 24, 2010
The holiday season is officially upon us and typically this is the time of year when we visit with our family and friends, exchange gifts, share stories, and reminisce. I was lucky enough to already experience some of what the holidays have to offer back in August when I went behind the scenes of the Famous Footwear “Neighborhood” spot.
