THE NICK CALDWELL

PROJECTS
What Lies Within
What Lies Within is a horror short film by CinemaStory where 95% of the scenes were shot day for night. I was Gaffer and also responsible for designing and rigging 2 specialty camera shots.

Cook Children's Corporate Videos
I have run G&E on numerous corporate projects for Cook Children’s Hospital. These mainly involved interviews, narrative documentaries, teleprompter promos, and industrials. My personal highlight of this work was the documentation of the first surgical separation of conjoined twins at Cook Children’s Hospital.

Music Videos - Various Artists
I’ve worked on many music videos as Key Grip and Gaffer for artists such as Durrough, Elyse Jewel, and Delnora. Working with CinemaStory for all of them, we created lighting designs involving projector special effects, RGB lighting, and manipulating natural sunlight.

Operation Breakfast Menu
This is a comedy short film by Faculty Meeting Films where I served as Gaffer, Key Grip, as well as one of the Lead Actors. This shoot involved a combination of high key lighting and lighting gags, such as cop car and noir radio lights.

Whiskey Blendery Spec Shoot
This was a narrative commercial spec shoot with CinemaStory where I oversaw G&E as well as appeared as on-screen talent.

Dallas African American Museum
I was Gaffer & Key Grip for CinemaStory’s narrative documentary on the African American Museum of Dallas. This consisted of beauty lighting for interviews as well as more cinematic lighting for creative inserts and B-roll.
