Hi Everyone! This is Tim Cash of Far from earth Films based in Bend Oregon. When I look back at my career to date I always come across these Pennan Brae videos and feel so incredibly lucky to be apart of such works of art! I don’t believe in the box but if there was one it would be in the other room. looking forward to working with him again on some more projects. Hope you all enjoy!!

Hi Everyone!! Tim Cash from Far From Earth Films ( A division of Far From Earth Creative). In the final days of February I had the great pleasure to work with Ju Drum an incredibly talented Nigerian Reggae artist living in California. The song features Messenjah Selah and a slew of talented artists. We shot at some incredible locations on the north coast of California. In the video you’ll see capaweta, an opening drum solo from JuDrum. A tribal native in Stevie Culture, Jude through a cool chain linked fence and MORE! please go and check it out if you have the time!
Hi Peeps! This is Tim Cash writing today to tell you about the NEW NEWS!! Well we’ve inched our way into the independent DIY music scene pretty well through our high-end low-price formula for Music Videos. Now it’s time to bring that formula to full branding for musical artists. The whole point of a music video is to make an artist look larger than life. well it should be the same with their whole brand from the music video to website,twitter page,youtube,reverb nation and more. Think of it from the eye of a booking agent. When they look for artists to represent they are looking or an easy sell. All sales people are looking for the easy sell. So when they go to your site and see that you designed it your self and your buddy shot the videos what does it look like to them…”amateur hour” no matter how good the sound is the BRAND is a reflection of where the band is at that point in their career.
Please check out our first BRAND creation for Hilst & Coffey! the package included a logo,web site, pro photography, twitter,youtube,facebook,and reverb nation skins that match the site. A t-shirt design and a sticker design!
Tim Cash music video director with Far From Earth Films here!Just returned from a 6 music video tour through Northern California and Jamaica! 2 with Judrums from Nigerian on the North Coast and 4 music videos for JahSun in Jamaica. The trip was incredible and I really felt the buzz of publicly and the beginning of a long career in reggae music in Jamaica. I made tons of connections via Oufah Media out of Kingston JA, and got to see some of my music video work on TV. Currently we have the #1 music video on Hype TV with Standing On All Threes by Omi. and we got to shoot with to Jamaican Stars in Richie Spice & Kabaka Pyramid. The sky is the limit and we continue to reach for the stars and stay Far from Earth!!
Hi again everyone! Tim Cash of Far from Earth Films and Far From Earth Creative here in Bend Oregon. Well had the chance to put my new RED Scarlet to the test as it arrived just days before 2 BIG Music video shoots for Jamaican pop sensation Omi. We shot one of the videos at regular speed 24fps at 4k and it looks gorgeous! But the other music video I wanted to try something a little different. In the past I’ve experimented with variable frame rates for singing shots. shooting at 36fps and having the talent sing the song at a sped up 150% and I’ve also done 18fps. and had them sing to the song at 75%. when put into a 24 fps timeline each look is different but adds drama. slowmo singing or sped up singing. but this was the first time I decided to shoot an entire music video at 12fps. and have the singer sync to a 50% slowed down version of the song.then edit at 24fps. the result is a highly animated sped up look and we got away with 5k on the Scarlet! not stills but video. I’m sure someone has shot 5k video on the Scarlet but anyway….we are releasing the video today and I’ll be sure to post it up on this post as soonas we release it!!
I Everyone! Far From Earth Films, Tim Cash. just catching a breath here after a long week of production. Have had the pleasure of hosting Oufah Media from Jamaica in Bend Oregon on what has been the coldest days of the year for a full fledged winter flick titled “TAKE IT EASY”! One of the biggest pieces to telling this adventure story has been helicopter shots! I’ve never had the budget to hire a heli- pilot and cinematographer before but felt for the story we were trying to tell and the vast scope of wilderness we were dealing with was only coverable from a chopper. We shot in the Deschutes National Forest right up near Mt Bachelor, A ski area 22 miles outside of Bend. As Omi travels deeper and deeper into the wilderness he finds what he’s been searching for. We also captured shots at a cave near by and at the FARfromEARTH STUDIO here in Bend.
The 2nd music video “FIREWORKS” was shot entirely at the FFE studio and included some set building which was great as we really got to control the light . we also experimented with some frame rates at 12fps at 5k on the RED.
Hi Everybody! Tim Cash back again. I can now officially say I’ve shot a black light glow light music video. check! I really had no idea what this was going to look like before we got into it. but wow! its weird and you’re just not sure what you’re looking at sometimes. I love it! the colors are rich and the bubbles are bright! The performance and dance shots we shot in the FFE studio under huge black lights with 2 people on either side of the camera blowing black light bubbles. the glow suits were purchased from glowcity out of New York. The second location was the Peterson Rock Garden just minutes from the studio. it’s a trippy little place with castles built from really cool rocks found within 82 miles from the location by the orginal owner in the 1950′s. anyway said enough! hope you enjoy!
Hey everyone!! Tim Cash of FARfromEARTH Films here! I recently had the great pleasure of working with Mykal Somer on his latest video IT’S WORKING. We had the opportunity to meet and work together last December on a cold day in Portland for the filming of his last single TONITE. I love working with Mykal! He epitomizes the hard-working songwriter hungry to get his message to the people and spread the positive message around the world! We shot his scenes for his latest piece in and around Arcata, California. and used stock footage to tell his story about the system and how “It’s Working”…working for the suites who run this planet and are hell-bent on destroying it and the people who reside on it. as Mykal says in the song “The Time is Now!!” Please check out the video and the one we did together a year ago. both very different and shows off Mykal’s amazing vocal range and power! Thanks Mykal for the opportunity to work with you!
Hey Everyone! Tim Cash of Far from Earth Films here! In the summer 2012 Jah Sun approached me to do a piece that was about his uncle and the hardship and changes that had fallen on his life. It sounded like a challenge and the first order of business was finding an actor that could transform into a street dweller or in this case turn into a wealthy looking middle-aged man. We hired actor Wayne Newcomb he nailed it and came dressed for success. we shot his street scenes then sent him to the stylist to get studded up for his part as the suit.
we shot this video over 2 days in Bend Oregon. big thankyou to the Old mill for letting us sit in their beautiful flowers. Kristen and Mark for providing their warm beautiful home. Scott Jacobson for his help with our hospital location and his wonderful performance! thx again everyone!
When I first moved to Bend Oregon I was awestruck by the scenery! I didn’t realize that years later I’d be using it as a backdrop in music videos that would draw clients to Central Oregon. Now that I’m in my mid-thirties I really want to work closer to Bend Oregon and spend more time with my family. We’ve managed to bring clients to Bend from all over the globe including Korea, Canada and the Caribbean. Bend Oregon is an easy place to sell to people just send them a few pics of the Sisters, Smith Rock and neighboring waterfalls and they are sold.
Add the FARfromEARTH Film ranch to the equation and you have a recipe for success. located 5 miles outside of Bend Oregon on the north eastern side of Long Butte with scenic views and serenity the ranch is ever growing. We just added our green screen studio, lounge and edit suite and have future plans for a live-in private condo connected to the studio where clients can retreat after a long days shoot. We’re also working on an experimemntal garden as well as rain water catchment irrigation system. An oasis in the desert!

We want clients to come to Bend and get the Movie -Star treatment for a dime compared to other production houses. Sometimes music videos can have hidden expenses you didnt plan for like food and lodging. those can add up quick and end up doubling your budget. Our goal is to include all the amenities to our clients free of charge.
here are just a few great examples of music videos we’ve been able to pull off right here Bend Oregon!
