- Brad Rushing began working with Roger Corman's Concorde/New Horizons film studio which afforded him some of his first feature film opportunities as Director of Photography where he learned valuable skills.
After a number of years concentrating on indie feature films Brad began to shoot high end music videos photographing award-winning, iconic clips for artists like Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Nelly and Eminem. Brad's ground-breaking work on Moby's "We Are All Made Of Stars" won an MTV Video Music Award "Moonman" for Best Cinematography in a Video, and many of the other music videos he shot have won awards such as VMAs, MVPAs and Grammys for Best Video. Brad also won a Canadian Society of Cinematographers Award for Best Cinematography in a Video for the Alsou video "Always On My Mind."
Brad's most recent work is the feature film "A California Christmas" which filmed in Petaluma, CA in July 2020, one of the first film productions to start under stringent COVID-19 safety protocols. The film debuted on a major streaming platform for the 2020 holiday season and was number one on Netflix for one week straight.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

You stay amazingly consistant
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Incredible technical application details, lighting makes or breaks a scene. I remember hating the lighting in the movie Eyes Wide Shut, it made everything look staged. Will have to revisit and see if I still feel that way.
If it does look staged (I need to rewatch), I guarantee you it was on purpose
@@bryanhartline1696 I just rewatched it, it’s pretty consistent throughout all the scenes, it doesn’t bother me as much now as it did 20 years ago. The use of mid-height table lamps with high wattage bulbs was the awkward part in the apartment scenes, and then it makes you very critically aware of facial lighting in editing in scenes like the one where the doctor makes a house call to the wife who lost her husband. All the ordinary internal lighting in hallways and on tables just look unusually bright, which may be sending a subconscious message about what is illuminated and what is deliberately hidden.
@@crucifixgym wow your viewpoint is way more complex than I thought. Interesting observations
You are crazy. EWS is one of the best lit movies of all time. @@crucifixgym
Great info!
Thanks for watching!
