So a good friend of mine asked me to make a video for his acoustic trio. I had wanted to do something like that for a while so I agreed to musicians pay, which is nothing, and shot this little beauty one night.

I had them play the song four times before we opened the house. I used a 36” Indi slider, two Satchler tripods, and a small little 6’ Cobra Crane. The space was super tiny so I couldn’t really do much. Once we opened the house up I hung out and shot a little from the back. All in all it was about 2 hours of shooting and 2 hours of editing. I wanted to spend more time on it but I have too many other paying gigs right now that aren’t as fun but deserve the attention. Wish I could get paid just to do the fun stuff but so does everyone.

This was shot on the 5D Mark ii with the 50mm 1.4, 17-35mm l 2.8

I am signed on as Director of Photography for this project so please even if you can’t donate, spread the word!

I’ll post daily updates during the shoot and maybe even pictures if I get time. I’ll be shooting on Canon EOS, using my Mark ii and hopefully a Mark iii. I can post more details when we get closer, but it’s basically Steadicam Run and Gun DSLR through the streets of NYC. How cool is that?

Help us out and spread the word, bird!!!

Oh my god, how the days are flying by! I’ve just been retardedly busy, too busy to post. Ouch. Well here’s a bit of night timelapse from my T3i. Soon I should have some Mark iii timelapse footage coming up. I’m shooting a four day scene of a million dollar home being built out of timber frame next week. Not sure what the client will do with it, maybe have it repeating on a flat screen when you take of your shoes.

Finished shooting at Denver International Airport last week. ot to walk around the runways and course which was fun. Got timelapse of the sun rise on the peaks and other goodies. When the video is up I’ll post it here. The mayor will be using it at a conference next month I believe.

NAB is in two weeks!! Can’t wait for that!

I think that catches me up, anyone want to buy a Canon XF100 for cheapish? I am building a new editing station and need some extra dough. Plus the 5d Mark iii ain’t cheap. I’ll let it go for 2,700!!

I’m officially going the way of DSLR. Small, fast, awesome quality, just everything my video cameras are not. I’m using a mark iii and T3i as B cam. Love it!! My video cameras had their place but I’m done with it. There just not as fun to use, with a DSLR you are creating art and with my video cams I’m just working. SO off they go! Ahhhh the freedom of letting go of ingrained habits. I tell you it’s not easy taking that plunge.

Peace out ya’ll.
