A small, short sample of some clips of my recent work.

"ONE" - a debut, concept film by Anthony James Donnelly

Armed with only a camera and my talent, I decided to shoot a short film. Most people talk about obstacles. I decided to make the only obstacle 'me', so I hoisted camera et al and bit the bullet. I hope you like what I've accomplished. A short, dark film about a lonely man. Debut film for actor, writer, and (now) director, cameraman, editor, producer, etc., Anthony James Donnelly. In his own words: "So many people THINK about making a film, but few actually do. In all my research into great directors and film makers, all of their advice was, "Just grab a camera and make movies!" So, I set myself the goal of making a movie using only ONE person... ME! I was to be the actor, the writer/ creator, the producer, the sound guy, cameraman, the whole shabang! "What's more, I gave myself only ONE week to complete the whole thing, including editing, which I also did. I'm not trying to show off or anything, I just wanted to prove to myself that it COULD be done. "I think I've hit my goal, the end product isn't brilliant, I don't think I'll be winning any awards anytime soon, but it was fun to make. I hope you enjoy it." Special thanks goes to Kevin MacLeod, the creator of the soundtrack, "Music For Funeral Home - Part 11", I am deeply indebted. I think the soundtrack makes the movie work, and it gave me a timeframe to work to. I'd love to hear your comments...

What's been your experience? What has made a good (or bad!) session for you? I set up Acting Wings with coach and actor, Antho...

I always prefer to find someone who will give me a CD with all the shots rather than pay for the final ONE shot. Finding someone that is good at directing you on camera is also super important. I've t...

So very true, Nicole! I feel very fortunate that I found Vanessa Champion earlier this year for my headshots. Not only did she put me completely at easy (which I think is important to being natural) b...
