Adam Sliwinski, Director of Photography extraordinaire has just updated his website http://www.adamsliwinski.com/ with new demo reels. I was fortunate enough to meet Adam (who now makes his fortune in Vancouver) over 10 years ago. He's a long-time friend of my long-time friend and collaborator Keith Neimor.
Adam has joined Keith and I in numerous adventures, helping us develop an enviable reel of television commercials shot on film, for Saskatchewan Credit Unions, Manitoba Hydro and many others over the past 9 years.
He's worked with the likes of Adam Arkin, Nicolette Sheridan, Christian Slater and others. His demo reels are an entertaining blend of blow-em-up action, subtle pans and incredible light.
One of my fondest memories is when we picked up Adam at the Regina airport and took him to a huge athletic centre and said, "We are going to shoot in here." "Here?" he replied. We had originally been looking for a nice location outside to shoot some spots of High School Athletes but nothing looked just right. Eventually we found a great track at the Brandt Centre. Moving the shoot indoors from outdoors was a huge change and a giant challenge to be tackled within our modest budgets.
The result was one of the most powerful spots we ever created. There were lots of other funny parts to that shoot...clothing malfunctions and scheduling challenges. As usual, the crew (Sue, Keith, Adam and I) had a blast. It's impossible for this writer to capture the magic that is Adam with mere words. The stories of working with Adam could go on and on.
Anyhow - if you have a chance, check out his site. Some of our stuff is on Reel #3.
