This is beauty at work. Insist on beauty in spite of everything. Well, we're halfway through the year, so I figured now's as good a time as any to update my reel. Here's my 2021 1 minute reel. Obviously not comprehensive, but it shows a bit of what I do, and my aesthetic. I couldn't have shot any of this without the friendship and opportunities of the folks in my life, so, sincerely, thank you for everything ❤ Words by Shia LaBeouf linktr.ee/jmkpictures #showreel#productvideo#commercialvideo

Moving from filming people and live events, to filming products, was my "pivot" during the Covid lockdown. This is a full going-over of my struggles and failures, and also what ended up working. The whole Clean Cause ad was shot in my dining room over the course of about 5 days, around the clock. Since my schedule was clear, it allowed me to be super picky and repeat shots until they worked, or it was clear they just wouldn't work. Anyways, as always, thanks so much for watching, and please leave any questions or comments below! And subscribe please! I'm uploading a LOT more now :) To see more of my work, please visit: https://linktr.ee/jmkpictures

BTLA collaborated with Jim at JMK Pictures to create a beautiful spotlight for the black and trans community in austin. Listening to the direct ask from this community is the fundmental purpose to BTLA. Black Trans Leadership of Austin was formed by local queer black activists who saw where other LGBTQIA2+ organizations did not have the lived experience and direct connection to black and queer people. We have experienced and lived through the effects of intersectional issues such as racism, state violence, transphobia, misogyny, and homophobia. We seek to de-commodify human needs such as food, shelter, healthcare services and provide a bridge to the finer things in life to our community that is forced to live on the margins of society forcing us miss out on living our fullest lives. Black Trans Leadership of Austin lives by the principle that we uplift our community through a grassroots approach to building solidarity and power. BTLA exists to help our community to thrive, not just survive. https://btla.squarespace.com/ creator contacts: jim@jmkpictures.com @jmk.pictures

In this test and review of Sutefoto's T360RGB LED light, I put it through some real world uses and show how it does. I do light painting, colored shadows, interview lighting, lighting car interiors, adding color pops to scenes, and using the built in special lighting effects. I had a lot of fun with this one and recommend it as an excellent light on a budget. Thanks so much for watching! Do you have a product that would be a good fit for me to review? If so, please reach out! This video was filmed on location at Video Review Labs (by me) Music graciously provided by BIIANSU Lights provided by SUTEFOTO: the T360RGB's and their P80 used a key light in the couch scene.

We are so pleased to present this project; Sis Not Cis, which hopefully helps to demystify the topic of gender in the trans community, along with supporting those directly affected by backlash from misgendering. Additionally, there's a strong message of hope and success; of fighting against the odds to make your dreams a reality by sheer refusal to accept anything less, and I love that so much. It's especially poignant in these trying times. We couldn't have done any of this without Franki Phoenix - the clear voice in this conversation. Thank you so much Franki! Vivian at Vivian Stephens played a key role, both as HMUA and director; creating an open, caring space on set. Thank you for all that! Brodie at BroBleach provided the incredible wardrobe which gave Franki such a striking, timeless look - thanks so much. Alex at Letterbox Dreams - Video Production for help and inspiration on this project, Austin School of Film for the space and support to make this real. Finally, I'd like to thank MOTION AUDIO MARKET once again for the beautiful soundtrack. I hope this project clears the air, gives some insight, and leads to healthy discussion moving forward. Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻
