    , Thank you for hroughout my career, pursued cutting edge creative technological solutions and the highest production values for well over 20 years. Of particular may be my extensive gimbal and drone experience that rivals most of my colleagues. My particular passion lies is nding ways to deliver precise high value shots (including complex “oners” and other “hero shots”) previously considered impossible (or at highly impractical) via traditional equipment and methods like Technocrane, moving platforms, helicopter aerials etc. That said, I have developed a whole tool kit of shooting capabilities many of which are indeed impossible without these new tools and techniques . n the hands of a highly trained and educated expert, the latest generation of intelligent, optically encoded, accelerometer enabled, brushless motor driven gimbals and heavy lift drones o er functionality that can dramatically augment (though not replace) traditional lm making tools like dollies, steadicam, helicopter aerials and more. While less experienced gimbal operators often casually suggest they can easily replace all of these devices, they are in fact mistaken, and lack the experience to fully understand and correctly blend and balance the speci c strengths and weaknesses of , old and new. y not only best of class gimbal, camera and drone operations on set, but working clo- sely with my clients to write and direct compelling manifestations of their creative vision into fast & e ective actionable solution that will create the most dramatic photography possible in the shortest amount of time. For instance, our 55# pound heavy lifter drone comes out of it’s and is essentially ready to y in less than minutes.

  • Chicago Music Communities and the Everyday Significance of Playing Jazz
    MUSIC PRACTICES AS SOCIAL RELATIONS: CHICAGO MUSIC COMMUNITIES AND THE EVERYDAY SIGNIFICANCE OF PLAYING JAZZ by John Frederic Behling A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music: Musicology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Mark Allan Clague, Chair Professor Paul A. Anderson Professor Kelly M. Askew Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett Copyright John Frederic Behling 2010 Acknowledgements In this dissertation, I argue that the solos of jazz musicians spring from the practices of the communities in which they live. What holds true for expression and creativity in jazz is no less true of academic research and writing. This dissertation would not be possible without the support and encouragement of many communities and individuals. I thank all the musicians in Chicago who played music with me and welcomed me into their communities. I am especially grateful to Aki Antonia Smith, Edwina Smith, Scott Earl Holman, and Ed Breazeale for befriending me and introducing me to the musicians and communities about whom I write. I am also grateful for the support of my academic community. Kelly Askew introduced me to the anthropological side of ethnomusicology. Her writing showed me what compassionate and concrete ethnography should be like. Paul Anderson’s late night seminars helped me understand that musical practices have philosophical and psychological significance and that jazz criticism is part of a much larger and long- standing intellectual conversation. Charles Hiroshi Garrett, a late addition to my committee, embraced this project with enthusiasm. His generous encouragement and insightful comments are greatly appreciated.
