Skating at Campus Martius, Detroit



A short video I worked on with several friends and colleagues. Working on small personal projects like this really is a blast and in this case hopefully the finished piece helps to bolster Detroit's image! Skating at Campus Martius is one of the coolest things I've done in any city!

The Conservancy

I recently discovered this place in Ypsi called 'The Conservancy'. It's a farm/museum with several structures that have been beautifully preserved. My friend Rob found it this past Fall and showed it to me recently. We sort of scouted it out and shot some stuff this day. We came back later to shoot again...

But next time we shot a short film. It's in editing right now - just a few more tweaks, some visual effects, and a soundtrack left to be completed. We're calling it 'Mortified'. I'll post it here (planning on Feb. 20th) or you can keep an eye on my Vimeo page here: vimeo.com/jakobskogheim

UPDATE (2.20.2012 @ 10:09PM):
'Mortified' will be up tomorrow! I just got back from a trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and while the video is 99% done... I'm gonna get some rest tonight :)

Winter on the lake...

Has been filled with lots of fun, but not so much snow! It seems like the lake didn't freeze until last week (I know it's been a little longer, but...) and it's threatening to melt again. I've gotten a chance to skate on it a couple of times and can't wait for more!

















My assistant Rachel got an amazing photo of our friends Rob and Casey which you can (and should!) check out on Flickr here!

Hold On [Violin Short] + BTS!

A short video I created with Mike Wilkinson and Katie Lee:




Behind the scenes and production stills:


Katie in the studio: The violin and studio footage was a continuous take, which worked great for the edit, and only took a few tries to nail.




This is the light we had to work with... Exactly what I wanted :)


Katie walking: Me operating the slider.
