for eight years, as a camera technician and digital imaging technician.
A number of Eubank's works feature the use of in-camera speed 'ramping'. Shots of this style were featured in his Mikasa spots and in reels
for Honda, Adidas, Skullcandy, and others. Eubank was later hired by the UFC
to film fights in this style. Some of Eubank's dream-quality
style choices may be understood by his preference for Expressionism
, taking inspiration from the philosophy of director Stanley Kubrick
that "a film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme... the meaning, all that comes later."
Eubank has recently completed work on the motion picture Love, a project four years in the making in which he was both director and cinematographer. The film, commissioned by the alternative rock
band Angels & Airwaves
, was premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival
in February of 2011, and is expected to be released into theaters sometime later in 2011. Early press for Love has made note of the fact that Eubank, apparently also serving as the film's production designer
, constructed both the International Space Station
and Civil War
