First: Please turn up your volume loud as Kevin Matley has made some beautiful music. nnThe story: nOperation Origami started in late 2011 as a labor of love of my wife and art. Behind the scenes, this film is actually a love story. My wife Heather and I were just dating at the time we started the film and are now married with hundreds of changes in our lives since that first frame was taken. Over the past few years we continued to work on it in our spare time. Heather is an expert at Origami and I wanted to learn more about time-lapse. This film is the result of my learning process. Little by little over the years we visited locations throughout the USA during our travels, and when it worked, we brought a time-lapse rig to capture a scene. Multiple cameras where used to shoot the film as technology had also progressed over the years. Since we started Operation Origami Heather and I have gotten married, bought our first home together, changed our jobs and had a son named Hudson. Finally this project was ready to complete and its time to move on to other adventures in filmmaking. We climbed mountains and travelled thousands of miles to shoot these scenes. There is a progression of seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter. In the end these paper cranes have made their home on our Christmas tree where they will be cherished forever. nnThank you to everyone who views it. I hope you like the film and can see something in it even though it is personal to me.nnDir/Shot/Edit: Michael N Sutton twitter: @MNS1974nProduced by: Heather Sutton @mrs_h_bombnCompany: Frozen Prosperity, LLC.nwww.frozenprosperity.comninstagram: @frozenprosnnShot on: Red Epic, Arri Alexa, Canon 1Dc, 1Dx, 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, 7D, Sony F3, Canon C300, iPhone 4 & more.nTime-lapse gear: Kessler Crane Shuttlepod Mini, Stealth, Cineslider, Shuttle pod, basic controller and Second Shooter.nnFilmed in: NH, ME, RI, MA, NY, CA, NV, NJ,TXnnMusic License:nMarmoset Music ( www.marmosetmusic.com ) twitter: @marmosetmusicnArtist: Kevin Matley ( www.kevinmatley.com ) twitter: @kevinmatleynSong: AlaskannSpecial Thanks to:nHeather Sutton (my awesome wife and parter)nLenny Mordarski (my bodyguard and time-lapse sherpa)nEric Kessler (for being so supportive)nAndrew Walker and Julie Hansard (for all the help in LA)nTyler Ginter, Jon Bregel & Kahlid Mohtaseb (for use of the Variable rooftop)nJared Levy & Yael Shulman (for joining us on one of our shoots in NYC)nAdam Grumbo and Justin Hamilton (for assisting in Austin TX at MIM)nJon Connor, Cristina Valdivieso & Masters in Motion (NYC, Austin TX & MIM party in Vegas)nTom Guilmette (for helping with access to the Boston Bruins)nChris Beller, Nate Howell and Joel Graves of Kessler Crane (for all the support) www.kesslercrane.com nPreston Kanak, Joe Capra, Eric Hines, Vincent Laforet and Philip Bloom (for all the education you provide)nRich D'Angelo (for allowing me to tag along with Heather on work trips)nRule Boston Camera and John Rule (for use of some cool cameras)nMarmoset Music (for Licensing and positive vibes)nKevin Matley (for making amazing music) Less
