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.

This is the first installment of a new monthly webisode called “@1614” - which will feature artist in the Oklahoma City metro area.
Bryan Boone is the first artist to be featured. He is a mixed media artist - who is inspired by architecture, mechanics, infrastructure, and design.
Boone says - ““My work explores structure and shape set against noise and underlying forms. To create these environments I construct in layers, establishing initial planes of disorder first. As the world takes shape, forms emerge and construct the subject. By creating a full environment for the foreground structures, the designs gain context and therefore contrast and focus.”
From a filming perspective - this shoot was the first proper session that I have done that has used the new Canon T2i camera. It was a joy to work with - and I really enjoy shooting with these DSLR’s.
The one drawback is in post — when it comes time to syncing the audio. It must be done manually - so it is a bit of a pain - but with every set-up there are strengths and weaknesses. I could live with it. I will probably end up getting some software called PluralEyes to help with this pesky issue.
I love the flexibility of DSLR’s - and of course there low-light capabilities.
