Shooting in Southern California

You always hear stories about surfer/snowboarders who hit the mountains in the morning and the ocean in the evening, or vice versa.  And having access to such diverse topography in a relatively small area is a major bonus to living or working in Southern California.  This week I finally got to check that off my list, but for good measure we also through in a desert shoot in Palm Springs.  In less than 24 hours we shot in hyper-urban downtown Los Angeles, arid Palm Springs desert, snowy alpine forest in Lake Arrowhead and warm, sunny Venice Beach.  Amazing.  Helluva whirlwind, but well worth it.  Especially with a sweet Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue Heeler) along for the ride.  We'll be rolling out the awesome footage we captured in three forthcoming projects for Jones County Road

Key West shoot for OUT Magazine

Had an incredible 4 day shoot in Key West going snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, dancing, dining, historical touring, sight-seeing and capturing beautiful images.  The 10 or so hours of great video we shot will be edited down to 4 x 1min episodes for the Florida Keys Tourism Board and OUT Magazine.  They will go live in January and will be linked to from this blog.

New gear!

We're now shooting primarily on the Canon C100 Mark II.  This cinema camera travels well, performs great in low light, captures beautiful full-frame slow motion and will give our clients the rich, professional image quality they expect.  New lenses, mini-gimbal and Ronin (not pictured) to round out the gear upgrade.
