What
my creative partners say:
"Michael, thanks for all the hard work and expertise on Shroud. We have
received endless praise for the professional lighting evident in our first
film, an achievement I lay squarely at your feet. Thanks."
David Jetre - director "Shroud"
"Michael
Morlan proved invaluable as a director of photography on three commercials, as well
as assisting with the writing process, post production, and visual FX.
Having his own equipment company (Austin Film Tools) proved an added value.
The shoot was a challenging one, involving multi-camera shoots on a very
aggressive shooting schedule, and Michael provided the highest degree of
professionalism and dedication throughout. The end result was a very
happy client."
Jeffrey Travis -
director "IKnowWare commercial
spots" "Thank
you, once again, for your talent, time and presence on set this weekend.
Grace and efficient expertise is why you've got the rock star word on the
street!"
Jolyn Janis - producer "El Coyote"
“Thank
you for the outstanding job you did on the “Panic Division” music video
shoot. Your knowledge and effort was much appreciated and you will
definitely be hearing from me about future projects. In fact, you'll be my
first choice on every gig I pick up in the future and I'll be giving your
name to many others. You're top notch.”
Scott McCauley - director of photography Panic Division music
video
"Michael Morlan is many
things: sensitive, quirky, introspective, incredibly smart, and easy to work
with. Of all the folks we interviewed to DP my film, he was the only one
who really 'got it' as far as the look and mood I wanted to convey. Michael
has a great ability to sense what a director wants. He can light a set
beautifully and quickly, and is sensitive to the actor’s needs as well.
Michael is truly passionate about his craft, and was willing to go the extra
mile for my film."
Jennifer Harlow Reeb - director "In
Between"
“I've worked with Michael several times now - once while he
was a gaffer on a music video I produced, and twice when I was a still
photographer on set (with Michael as the gaffer on one and director/D.P. of
the other). His knowledge and expertise is always first class and he demands
consistent, professional results from his crews. He's always willing to
expend the extra effort to get the footage looking perfect. I highly
recommend him for any project.”
Wylie
Maercklein
"Michael
understood my need to shoot lean and he made that happen. His
pre-production preparation was thorough and timely. He informed me early on
as to the equipment he would need and he met with me to discuss each shot.
The shoot went smoothly and the actors commented on how well organized we
were. Much of that was due to the thoroughness of our pre-production
discussions and to Michael's professionalism."
Steve Warren - director "The
Hypocrite"
"You were an invaluable asset to the shoot. I can
say without a doubt that the film would not have been competed without you.
Thanks Mike, for your hard work and sense of humor. Keep in touch."
Kristoffer May - D.P. - "Sentimental Engine Slayer" "I cannot thank you
enough for your hard work. Pass this thanks on to your crew. You motherfu**ers
rocked. I'll get down that way again soon and you will be my first call.
Thank you, brother. I couldn't have done it without you and your merry band
of hoodlums."
Jordan Boston Jones - D.P. "Dishing it Out" Food Network Pilot
"Michael,
this is just a quick note to let you know that I appreciated your excellent
work as director of photography for my film Sticks & Stones. Your
knowledge, technical skills and professionalism came through with flying
colors as evidenced by the piece."
Arnie Reyes - director "Sticks
& Stones"
"Michael was prompt, courteous, and a great listener - a very patient, cool and
collected guy on set. His technical grasp of his craft is remarkable, and it
shows in his work. He can light a set wonderfully, and QUICKLY. Michael also
possesses a deep-rooted respect for the actor's process. Job well
done!"
Mark Reeb - producer "In
Between"
“Michael Morlan is a very talented Director/D.P. that I have worked with
many times. The level of skill, knowledge, and creative genius that he
brings to the table gives each project he touches the ability to be highly
successful. Michael is one of the key members of The Wolfpack Film
Group and he is valued by me and many of the other members of the group as
an invaluable contributor. I always enjoy working with Michael, and look
forward to many more projects in the near future!”
Robin Blesh - producer
What
my teams say:
"I had the
greatest time working on your crew! Thank you SO much for letting me be a
part of the project. You were so incredibly patient and kind to everyone
even though we were on such a tight deadline. I cannot tell you how much I
enjoyed being a part of this process."
Dorothy Ibes - Grip - 48-hour Film Project 2005
"Michael, I had a blast
working with you. You took a great deal of time and effort with a small
scene. Of course, dying from drowning was of the utmost importance! I
can't tell you how much I appreciated all your help and your
professionalism. The few other films I've done could not measure up to what
I learned from you and the rest of the cast and crew. I'm so glad to have
had the opportunity to work with you."
San
Lorenz - Actress - "Deadly Obsession"
"I got the job and I really appreciate your
recommendation. You are by far the best boss I have ever worked for and I
just really enjoy working under your tutelage. I know it sounds like I am
just blowing smoke, but I truly mean it."
Joseph "Rocky" Stone - "Anything For Now"
"As usual it's been a pleasure working with you. You and
Iskra are by far the best boss tandem I've ever had - always teaching,
always encouraging. I feel that after completing ATFN I am now ten times the
Grip/Electric I was when I started."
Rob McGreevy - "Anything For Now" |
