Alan Jackson's Little Bitty World may well be the only 24 Camera, 35mm music video out there.
I was the First AC on this once in a lifetime camera rig.
24 Arri 2Bs, 2Cs and 3s and a BL3 were all aligned for a freeze like effect combined with motion at each end of the move.
After numerous tests, the gag worked flawlessly and was later popularized in movies such as The Matrix and Gap commercials, but using still cameras.
Now why didnt we think of that?

I am on a 12-foot ladder atop the deck of Christopher Coppola's grip pickup truck with the Sony Z1, shooting I AM (13 min, HDV).
The shoot was physically tough, but well worth the effort.
My work on the picture won the Best Cinematography award at the Duke City Shootout in 2005.

Matt Sneddon and myself at the Capitol in Washington DC, shooting b-roll for The Senator from New Mexico.
It was very cold and wet and the Lithium Ion batteries did not perform up to par, but we achieved terrific images nonetheless for this tribute to Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM).

On the Art Gallery set of Running on Indian Time (14 min, 16mm).
