Miss Vietnamese Teen Pageant, 2016. This event passed already so just playing catch up here on posts. Yup, it's that time of year again for me, playing the "pageant Dad" for a brief moment. As always, working on no/low budget usually means I'm the cinematographer, gaffer, producer, writer, and editor with the reward of pizza and a pat on the back. The challenge for this particular project was time... less than one week to edit with a few hours to light and shoot about 22 contestants.

All in all, everything worked out. Special shoutout to Christina Dinh and Tina Do! Could not have made it without yalls.

Technical stuff: RED Epic Dragon, 120fps, 2K, Cooke S4i, Soft F/X 1/4.

Luan + Thao's Wedding, 2011. My day started at 5AM and ended at midnight for these two love birds. Getting up early and staying late isn't an issue when you have passion and love doing what you're doing. It's hard to turn down fireworks in the early morning and poppin' confetti at night.

Miss Vietnamese Teen Pageant, promo video. The purpose of this video was to show the audience that this pageant is not just a beauty contest. We get a chance to glimpse each candidate's personality and their reason for joining the pageant.

Pho Bac (Atlanta, GA), 30 second commercial spot. 2012. The restaurant just wanted something short and sweet to show a few popular dishes as well as introduce new entrees. The smoothies melting from the hot lights was a challenge, but I got to drink and eat the food which was a big plus!
