Cinematic Something is an on-going short video series that shows how Craig prepares, seeks out and captures the unique places he stumbles across in China into shareable cinematic content that elevates the location and the people in it.
By using skills learned while making documentaries for the past decade Craig shows what it means to be a solo video shooter in places that hold immense beauty but are rarely captured. Setting up each episode as a quest to explore and film a specific location using a cinematic concept with limited equipment Craig documents his process while giving perspective on life as a foreigner in China.

Exploring Chinese Island Life in Yanzhou 🇨🇳 - Shot on the Canon C80
The search for fish is on! An odd encounter sparks an impromptu trip to the remote Chinese island of Yanzhou (盐州). With a camera in hand, I explore the small town. Watch as I interact with the locals-riding a boat, drinking tea, savoring food, and ultimately sharing a message of love for one delicious fish. In the end, it was an unforgettable experience. Watch to find out why.

I Found The Hidden Music of Shanghai
Переглядів 2,2 тис.2 місяці тому
"That sounds terrible," I thought to myself three years ago while hearing a man play his flute in a Shanghai park. The random whistling had no melody, yet he still played with a joyful spirit. This paradox prompted me to record what I heard and ever since I've had a growing curiosity about musicians like this man. Now I've returned to find out what they can teach me about Shanghai. Join me as I...

WHAT IS IT? Veggies I've Never Eaten #China #farmersmarket
Переглядів 1,3 тис.4 місяці тому
🍈 I'm a lover of veggies and often find myself at the #farmersmarket. But biking through a village in China I saw a vegetable I hadn't seen before. Using my poor Chinese I summoned the guts to ask the people picking it a simple question, "What is this?" This led me on a journey to a mega Shenzhen farmers market to buy, film (in macro) and eventually eat these unique Chinese vegetables. SUPPORT ...
