Yes those are real worms in her mouth. Eep.

Well I am back in the office here at Superhero and it feels great! Loving the vibe and energy. Joseph is now in the studio and I am STOKED to have him in Murrieta. Never thought when we met on DH tour we would soon be living in the same town and working together daily. God is good. Sorry it has been a while since I updated. Last week was a crazy one with Relient K, and then I got pretty sick. One day I completely lost my voice, but still conducted a few interviews. Dates got changed so many times, and finally I headed home on a few hours notice from when my flight actually left. I will be back in Cali for 2 weeks and then head back to Nashville for RK again. Miss you guys already. More Relient K stuff coming soon!

That is Joseph. He is a good Christian dude, he plays drums in a band, he can speak fluent French, and is from Belgium, so breakfast in bed with him equals Belgium Waffles.
Oh did I mention…..he is SINGLE. Amazing dude. Holler at me for his digits. hahahahahaha

These are a few stills from the five short films I worked on in Missouri (Christ In Youth). I can’t wait to see the finished product. I hope they make an impact on the viewers this summer!

Bored on set, so I had the make-up department make me look like death.
I must say they didn’t have to try hard nor use much make-up.

As soon as the CIY vid’s are available I will post em up!

I would also like to make a quick shout out and say I am proud of some things my friends are doing. Moving forward with jobs, getting sweet gigs, graduating, keeping community, and most imporantly being leaders. You are all awesome and inspiring. Keep it up.

Hope all is well!

Relient K + Vince Gill = Webisode 2

posted in Music, Photography, Uncategorized, Web Videos, blog, film Monday, April 06, 2009

Enter to view full post.

Vince Gill dropped by the studio to film for the travel channel. After long debate and beating myself up, I decided to finally go ask him. Luckily I had Jon Schneck to help break the ice. Thanks for being my wing man! I talked to Vince, explained what we were doing, and asked if he would let me interview him. He happily accepted. I grabbed one light, and mic’d him up very fast. I didn’t want to keep him any longer than a few minutes. I had questions I thought of the night before. When I heard he was coming to the studio to film, I thought of what I would ask him if, best case scenario, he agreed to shoot. Well I interviewed him with Jon for no more than 5 minutes! It was the quickest interview I have ever shot. Luckily I got all I needed to edit it smoothly. Vince was so nice about everything, so I am very thankful he agreed to shoot.

I hope you enjoy Webisode 2. It was definitely a long week in the studio, but man are the http://www.relientk.com/ guys so rad. I have been here with them for 2 weeks, but they make me feel like we’ve known each other for years. I am thankful for them accepting me in as they have. The RK job has been going so well, they may extend my contract. I would be spending more time in Nashville, as well as hitting the road with them for a period of time. God is so good! I am very very excited for this project.

Nashville has been treating me well. Been hanging out with Brent and Bethany a lot. Movies, campfires, and today we went to a lake nearby at dusk just before it started pouring. We stood along the shoreline for about 10 minutes just letting the rain bomb us as daylight faded away. I couldn’t help but close my eyes and just breathe. I live for moments like those. I get feelings I can’t even explain.

Btw, I will be in Dallas next weekend for a show. If anyone from home can make it down, that would be amazing.

Hope everyone is doing well.

RK Webisode 1 of 4

posted in Funny, Music, Uncategorized, blog, film Monday, March 30, 2009

Enter to view full post.

I am very excited going into week two with Relient K. They are legit dudes. All of them have made me feel welcome and have been patient with me in getting my shots, and interviews. I try to stay clear and not distract them in their recording process. They think so much into what they do, and don’t need another guy just making their time in the studio that much more difficult. Well, I pumped out the 1st webisode and was stoked the band and manager liked it. Nothing makes me want to work harder, than when a client gets excited about my art, and what I do. I am thankful for the chance and opportunity to show them what I can do.

I am staying across the street from Ethan Luck and Josh Hernendez. Again, more good times. It has been so awesome just meeting new people and seeing old friends. Hanging with Chelsea and Hannah, and hoping to see my Chatty friends. While staying with Brent Okuley, we had a tornado warning. The sky was so beautiful as it transformed from light to dark. We packed up some stuff and went into the crawl space under the house. Then just hung out, listened to sirens, the weather beat down, and the forecasters on the radio. He brought 3 guns, lights, radio, and some other goods. I brought my computer, harddrives, and camera. OF COURSE. Brent is a cool guy. He is into military like I am. It is cool meeting others who share the same views and interests. He also tour manages and does sound for Underoath. Again, rad freaking guy. Its been a blessing being able to stay there.

Well here is the 1st webisode.

Well be looking back soon as I will be posting more webisodes.

To my friends and family.
I love you and miss you.

Chelsea: Ah I must say I love the ending [not in a bad way at all]. It was very cute. I loved seeing a playful side to the band. A lot of people don't have the opportunity to see that, and I think it makes them a lot more appealing. (04.01.2009 08:31pm)
cale: Chelsea - I don't know how saying "Ah I must say I love the ending" could be taken in a bad way at all! Thanks for the compliment! Yeah RK has really opened up on camera. They are very nice guys, and hilarious at that. The next webisode will be fun times! (04.02.2009 10:39am)
Sasha: that studio looks amazing. awe what i would give to see it in person. the video is awesome. can't wait for the next. all that talent under one roof, i'm sure it will be marvelous. (04.02.2009 11:40am)
cale: Sasha - Yes the studio is so beautiful. Out in the country. It is a big ranch! Relient K is super super talented, they make my work easy! I am glad you liked the first one. (04.02.2009 11:53am)
Andy G: bro your skills are amazing! I wanna hang out someday. hahahaha. (04.02.2009 12:24pm)

My buddy Jered Scott recently shot the album cover as well as all the photographs in the booklet. They are rad to say the least. Go check out the album and give it some support. It will make me happy as well as him, as well as MXPX. Ethan Luck also plays some guitar in one of the songs so that is a plus as well.

Btw, Relient K job is going well. Getting some footage and really concentrating on getting quality stuff. Audio is definitely something I am working on as well. It has been bro hangout since day 1. Record some, long lunch, play baseball, football, frisbee…..hahaha having a blast. Hope everyone is doing well. Will update with some studio updates soon, so keep checking back!

Go buy the CD! Don’t talk, do it!

Relient K

Enter to view full post.

It seems as though I was just getting settled in California when I got confirmation on a new job. This past week I found out I will spend the next 3 weeks(starting this Saturday) in Nashville, Tennessee. The project will be the making of Relient K’s next full length album. They will be spending a 4th week in LA, so that will be cool to come back here and finish it up. I am very excited to be a part of this. Three weeks in the studio with some awesome guys and even more, some very talented musicians. Relient K was actually one of my first concerts to attend. Funny how things work out. There will be a web update each week, along with a few 30 second teasers. The “main event” will be a 20 minute piece, documenting the entire process. This is such a good opportunity, I can’t wait to get started. It leaves me speechless at times to see God still providing in this shattered economy. I am so very thankful. Much love and thanks to Ethan for passing my name along. Means a lot.

Please go check them out, you will dig! You can listen to their music HERE

Demon Hunter – Live In Nashville

posted in Art, Music, Photography, Travel, blog Sunday, January 25, 2009

This is the cover for the new Demon Hunter DVD titled “Live In Nashville.” The cover is a collage of photos I took, but edited by 2 time Grammy nominee Ryan Clark. Click his name to go see his work and show some support. His brother, Don Clark, is also a 2 time Grammy nominee. I have been a fan of their work for quite sometime now. Notice what the negative “black” space creates in the center. I took the photos while on the road with them for 6 weeks this past summer. The DVD will also host a photo booklet inside, filled with more photos I took from tour. The DVD releases January 27th, 2009. YES IN 2 DAYS. You can order it HERE. Go show it some support!

The Clark brothers also blog. Click HERE to view.

Cale Glendening

Erin Zupicich: I like the placement of everything in the collage, like it was meant to be in that specific spot. especially the placement of the cymbals at the bottom in the center. its a great placement. and being in black and white, reminds me of negatives, which is raw, which is what tour is, raw and real and dirty...and this looks worn, I like it, very fitting. It's almost as if you look at each piece clockwise, you're taking a slight glimpse at each stage of the tour, and in the center, the one light...kind of like..this is what its all about. I really think this couldn't be anymore fitting and perfect. great job. (01.25.2009 11:18am)
cale: ERIN - That was beautiful insight. Ryan Clark is intricately visual with his work and I believe it shows. I took the photos, but Ryan edited him. He deserves much more credit than myself, but I thank you very much for the compliment! I hope you are well btw. So which band member are you getting tattoo'd next? (01.25.2009 11:25am)
Erin Zupicich: no way, andy is the only one that will ever grace my body....well besides the tribute to notorious b.i.g. that has been in the works for a few years... I still think that has to top any birthday present andy has ever recieved haha. what's even better is that people think its rick ross, or when i go to shows here in michigan i get tracked down bc people know andy. Yes, I would agree, Ryan Clark is definitely very visual and the placement and everything, I mean, there is nothing about this that doesn't just draw you in, and make you want to know more, and thats the point, right? I am very well, aside from being insanely cold all the time. see, I'm not always negative ;-) I appriciate your work a lot. just so you know. (01.25.2009 12:34pm)
Nick Dillard: I'm so jealous. But i'm happy for you man. Hopefully i'll become as successful as you are someday and hopefully soon. I'm sick of working for everybody else not making enough money and staying w/ my folks. I'm also already sick of school. But hey, who's complaining? (01.25.2009 01:57pm)
cale: NICK - Brother, thank you so much. I don't have a doubt for a second you wont be successful one day? What though do you define as success? Success to me is defined as, making a living doing what I love. Nick I know you are passionate about something, so go out there and do it man. School is temporary. You will be fine man, keep your head up. I haven't seen you in a while. Supposed to Ice this week. Camping? ; ) (01.25.2009 02:07pm)
cale: ERIN - Well let's make a deal. How about the day I direct my first feature film, you have to get a tattoo of me on you! Would that be a reasonable offer? I think so. As much as I enjoy you picking on me, I love your positive side. I will relish in it for now until inevitability comes and your sarcastic remarks strike me down again! (01.25.2009 02:09pm)
Kendrea: Looks great Cale! well done, i bet you had a blast doing that (01.25.2009 09:19pm)
Erin Zupicich: cale, as long as it is you, jumping into a shark infested tank. then, deal. ;-) i kid, i kid. you said the negativity was inevitable, so i had to toy with it. you have yourself a deal sir. you had better have a real good picture picked out for this, better be making the sweetest face ever too, should i tell my artist to keep a full bottle of snow white handy? although, heres the stipulation, you must direct this film before i start aging, well, unless of course you are also aging, because then my wrinkles will just look natural on your face. I would much rather a young, fresh cale though. deal? plus, no one likes a pruney tattoo, but i suppose all mine will be one day. so then again, it doesn't matter... i guess i'm trying to be nice in my own way that i hope you have luck doing something you dream of sooner than later ;-) to bad my other foot is taken, because then you and andy could just walk together! (01.26.2009 12:26am)
