How many of us obsess over what camera to use? I’m definitely guilty of that but lately my perspective and practicality have set in as I’ve been editing my 2019 Reel.
-
Many of the images and gorgeous moments I’ve captured have been more so the lighting and the lenses. And yes there are times when a camera with high DR or better low light sensitivity can help you out but the camera is just a tool at the end of the day.
-
If a piece of gear is “holding you back” it’s actually not the gear I PROMISE YOU. If you have a story or a vision for a project go with what you got and create it.

RENTING VS BUYING A CINEMA CAMERA 🎥. A lot of you want to own a camera but sometimes it makes more sense to rent, so let’s talk about it!
-
Also if you’re in LA and need a trustworthy rental house contact my boy @dop_itstay 👍🙏. The @reddigitalcinema #redscarletw I rented was from him 🎥

Took some #framegrabs from a technical test for an upcoming project of mine. Using the @reddigitalcinema #redscarletw and @canonusa #canon70200mm -
Almost impossible to balance out exposure with that first frame with the hot sun piercing through but the Dynamic Range on the RED really shines 👍

A little #BTS for y’all using the @blackmagicnewsofficial #bmpcc4k and @fujinonlenses MK18-55 🎥👍
-
Having 18-55 on a 1.85x crop and the gorgeous optical quality of the FUJI has made me much more efficient especially when I’m working solo. -
SWIPE right to for some graded #framegrabs of the interviews using this setup 🙏👍

#currentstatus POST PRODUCTION mode 😁🖥
-
Working some #aftereffects for a client piece and it’s been a while I had to refresh my skills lol. I think it’s important to keep old skills fresh, it’s a time saver and allows you to be more efficient 👍

What are you all working on this week? Hit me up!

A new day another #productionday wrapped using the @blackmagicnewsofficial #bmpcc4k for a few interviews 👍🎥

Had a great location with a huge window even though I brought my lighting kit sometimes all that’s needed is a little diffusion and neg fill 🙌-

Probably the heaviest setup I’ve used on my @glidecam to date lol. For one off things it’s not bad but if I had to continually film for minutes straight I’d def need a vest 😖

It also feels like manual gimbals are dying out? I don’t know, what’s everyone using these days? Comment below fam 🙏🎥❤️

Brand NEW #youtubevideo up reviewing the @slrmagic Variable ND filter 😎
-
For the price it’s a bit on the pricey side but there’s newer variable NDs now which cost more, that being said how does this Variable ND stack up to the traditional cons of color cast issues and mechanics that come with using variable NDs?

Image making and #storytelling it’s all part of this process we all love to be in.
-
One TIP I’ve learned over the years is that obsessing over a shot usually takes away a lot of time from the entire project.
-
Sometimes you just gotta let it go and move on because then you’re stuck pontificating in the past.
-
What’s something you struggle with when getting a shot you really want? I’d love to hear fam 🙌🎥

A little #bts for a project I’m looking to start in the near future. I had the @blackmagicnewsofficial #bmpcc4k along with the @reddigitalcinema #redscarletw for technical tests to see how both mesh.
-
The cameras are so freagin good especially with the latest announcements. At the end of the day they’re still tools and whether you need a $20,000 or $1300 camera to tell your story I firmly believe you gotta use them first and not be led by specs or a dollar amount.

What’re your guys thoughts on #cameragear these days?
