David S. White – Director of Photography

David — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:40:02 +0000

Just a showcase of some of my work as a videographer.

All this footage was shot on the Panasonic HMC 150 at either 1080p or 720p. A wide range of images to show what I’m capable of in various lighting conditions; natural, low and with lighting kits. Most of the shooting that I do is live musical and concert footage. However, I do have experience shooting commercials, films and for web.

There are no special attachments on the camera, i.e. DoF adapter. Just a straight HMC 150. The only modifications were done to the scene files.

Finally, all footage was shot by myself from Jan ’09 to Oct ’09.

Dave Navarro Interview

David — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:08:20 +0000

An interview I got with Dave Navarro at the Adult Video News convention. He loved Alyssa Simone, in fact, she’s the reason that we got the interview. Sorry Dave…

Demo Reel 2009

David — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:17:25 +0000

This is my Director / Editor Demo Reel for march 2009. It features four projects that I’ve worked on. The first two are music videos that I’ve done for Andy Overslaugh and Noisician Coalition (two New Orleans, LA bands). The last two are excerpts from two short films. The first one entitled “Predicting the Weather” and the last entitled “Sex Between Us.” I picked the particular clips of the short films because I felt that I it best shows the performance that I was able to help the actor achieve in the scene that they are in. I still love watching these moments and marvel and their performances…. performances that are a direct result of my work with them.

Fun fact: My nickname is “Penguin” and I often ask people to call me that on sets because a typical set contains at least three Davids.

A New Orleans Fairytale – Screen Test 1

David — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:21:00 +0000

A test of makeup and screen for the main character of the Monster in a future film “A Halloween Fairy Tale,” written by Andy Overslaugh and directed by David S. White.

Andy plays the Monster, in partial makeup just to see how the teeth and ears and overall look will play on camera.

This was shot with a Canon XL1s. Film will be shot in HD with a Panasonic HMC 150.

Currently we’re seeking investors to bring the project to completion. After completion, the film will be submitted to MAJOR film festivals where I’m sure it will be a hit… the story is so funny and touching, it will be a new Halloween classic film.
