New York Times: Seattle’s Greenest Office Building

By Kirk Mastin | Published October 11, 2011

Some images from a recent assignment for the New York Times to photograph the construction of the Bullitt Center.

The Bullitt Center aims to be the greenest office building in Seattle. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when finished.

Chris Rogers and Denis Hayes stand in the construction site for the new Bullitt Center being built in Seattle, WA.

Adventure in India: Bombay film trailer

By Kirk Mastin | Published February 4, 2009

When a rag-tag trio of tourists visit Mumbai after the terrorist bombing, it’s Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels meets Bollywood.

Seriously though, this is a mini trailer showing the style that the film will be created in.

The entire film is shot with a Sony T500 point and shoot camera and a Canon DSLR.

The idea is to create a compelling film with two common pieces of technology: a point and shoot camera (with video), and a DSLR.

In my case I use a Canon 5D.

I realize that the 5D is a bit more expensive than some entry level cameras, however a Nikon D40 or Canon 30D would achieve the same purpose when creating a Hi-Def film.

Hang on, the rest is coming soon

FLIP THE MEDIA: A MEDIA (r)EVOLUTION

By Kirk Mastin | Published October 3, 2008

The media landscape is changing, will you change with it or fall behind?

This film explores how the media landscape is changing, as the traditional media gate-keepers (print, radio and TV) are being challenged by the rise of the amateur content creator.

With the barriers to technology and distribution becoming nearly non-existent, how will traditional media compete with the masses who will produce work for free?
