About
After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University in 2003 with a degree in Recording Industry, Christopher entered the film and video industry. As an audio engineer for the Manhattan Producers Alliance in New York City, he worked on projects for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and cable television networks such as Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel.
Christopher’s first love is film, a passion that is demonstrated in the creativity and originality he brings to each piece. He strives to create an authentic perspective in each of his projects, and possesses a certain gift for shooting documentary-style pieces.
Starting in 2010, he created the @1614 film and art series. The show has been recognized by Art Focus Magazine for its innovative approach to highlighting artist and bringing attention to talent in Oklahoma. With each film, Christopher vividly illustrates the relationship between the artist and their work.
Here on this blog - you will find Christopher's work - but also work that serves to inspire.

OK — I normally don’t do these sorts of test - but I thought what the heck. Here is a very quick clip of my brand new baby boy “Sawyer”.
This was shot on the brand new T2i or 550D, depending on what side of the pond you live on, in a really tough low light environment. Basically what were working with here is a light source coming from the television set - and also a single floor lamp. The television was emitting light acting as sort of a fill - while the floor lamp was acting as the key. I think the floor lamp consisted of 3 40watt bulbs. nothing special at all.
Settings for the cam were pretty simple. ISO 3200 - and a Canon 50mm F1.4 lens. I was actually holding Sawyer while I was filming him - so please excuse the crudity of the shooting. He does look pretty cute though!! HA.
Also - there was absolutely no color grading done. This was the image straight out of the camera.
Anyway - I enjoyed playing around with this cam. I think it has a lot pf potential. Is it a perfect cam - absolutely no!! But it is a great start for those wanting to get into DSLR shooting - and also will function great as a B cam.
I hope to do a more thorough shoot later this week with this camera. Hopefully put it through its paces. I am excited about doing that. So please stay tuned.
* side-note - Please follow me on twitter: @iamchristopherh. I love the interaction that takes place - and I find it to be my #1 source for learning, networking, and developing long lasting professional relationships.
Everyone be good.
