"Check Out My Big Election" Internet Series Pilot:
Digital Cinematography and Color Correction by Mikel J. Wisler
Writer/Director Brenan Campbell brought Mikel on to this project as his cinematographer. Given the demands of the script for a night driving scene and other dark and moody areas, it was a great opportunity for Mikel to work with some very intentional lighting. Shot in HDV, Mikel also did the color correction using Apple's Color.

Editor and B-Roll Shooter
Starcraft Marine:
Editing and Underwater B-roll by Mikel J. Wisler (Avid, Sony HDR-FX1 in an Ewa Marine housing)
When Explore Media needed B-roll shot on the water, or just under the surface of the water, they hired Mikel. Using his Ewa Marine, he captured dramatic shots coming out of the water, right on the surface, and could watch boat roll by, tossing waves about. Then, in the editing room, Mikel was able to craft together a story from the visuals and interviews that show just how passionate people at Startcraft Marine are about making great boats, and how much the people who own a Starcraft appreciate it.
