Some natural gas plant filming today. Yes... wearing a fire retardant jumpsuit during a heat advisory. I've had few shoots where your head better be on a swivel, or it could be taken off, and these are right up there, but fun! Shot on RED Digital Cinema

After returning home from a shoot in Scottsdale, AZ for Gordon Quarter Horses, I put together a short video so I could take a look at some of the footage before jumping into their main video. I hope you like it!

Sometimes interview locations are stark, and don't leave many options. The new office space was great for them, but limited for video. A good option in this situation into look for depth, so I moved a table to take advantage of the long hallway, and the fantastic light reflecting off of the floor. To help tie the shots together, having something in the background that appears in both shots is huge. In this case it was the glass door at the end of the hall. Things don't have to be complicated for a nice interview... this was a single light with the black side of a reflector being used for negative fill (which you can clearly see on the right side of his face), a Sennheiser MKH-50 mic on a boom pole (LOVE this mic) and the RED Digital Cinema Monstro & Komodo shooting in 6k. Still kicking myself in the ass for not rotating the coffee cup... the handle should have pointed towards his hand... rookie mistake. Thanks to my friends at Bluebird Creative for having me on the project!

The Monstro found a little friend! VERY happy to welcome the little baby Komodo 6k to The Video Zoo. The Komodo is much more gimbal friendly than the Monstro, and much more convenient for run & gun filming, and tossing on an airplane. I'll now have much more flexibility, and be able to stay with RED's 16bit raw files with all shots. Together they shall be known as... "Dos Rojos!" RED Digital Cinema

Fun, but fast shoot at Fort Dental yesterday with my dentist “Dr.T,” and Bluebird Creative. I had to wait until the lobby cleared for their lunch hour, set up a 2 camera shoot, and film 2 interviews before clients started coming back in 45 minutes later. We made it! Big thank you to everyone for having me on the project! Fort Worth Camera

When you have wear fire retardant gear, and a hard hat while filming. At least we weren't out in Midland during the summer this time! The perspective of this pic doesn't show it, but this Cat motor is HUGE! Fort Worth Camera, shot on Canon

Had a great time yesterday with my friends from Durango Boot, and COWGIRL Magazine filming interviews for the magazines annual 30 Under 30 event. Big thanks for having me involved again, and to Wrangler for once again being the title sponsor. See you tonight at the banquet! Filmed on RED Digital Cinema, Fort Worth Camera

I'm loving how this is turning out. Unfortunately we're probably going to have to wait several weeks to film some additional footage, but here's a short teaser. Be sure to turn your phone! BIG thank you to Andreas Maschke for working with me! Fort Worth Camera, filmed on RED Digital Cinema, Superior Saddlery, LLC

A few screen shots from the upcoming short documentary on Andreas Matchke. Andy talks about how he got started as a custom saddle maker, and much more. Andy is also the man behind Superior Saddlery, LLC, the saddle of choice of many of the NRHA - National Reining Horse Association's top riders. I'm loving how this is turning out... thank for working with me my friend! Fort Worth Camera, shot on RED Digital Cinema.

It’s been fun Scottsdale, but it time to head home. Shot a bunch of quick interviews right up until we had to make a madhouse breakdown so I could make it to the airport. Big thanks to all of Team Superior Saddlery, LLC that came by… you were all great! Extra thanks to the amazing master craftsman Andreas Maschke for having me out to film for a few days… I’m excited to start editing!

Fun... but hot! We flew out Midland, Texas and hit several oil fields locations to highlight Encore Oil Field Services. We had to wear flame-retardant gear so I think I lost about 10 lbs in water weight!
