It was awesome to work with the ladies of Reebok to shoot a few videos in celebration of International Women’s Day. We used the Red Epic Dragon and a few KinoFlos for quick interviews.

06 Jan So long 2016!

2016 was full of ups and downs but I was so lucky to end the year right with several great interview shoots. Thanks to my amazing film family for always having my back. Let’s show 2017 how it’s done!

Interview with computer scientist Margaret Hamilton for Makers.com.

We shot this 2 camera interview with a matching pair of Canon C300mII cameras. I love the C300mII- the color sampling is incredible. Personally, I like using the Production Camera Color Matrix. You can also set it to match the original C300 perfectly so that is a nice option for multicam shoots or for matching footage in an ongoing project.

If you shot with the original then you will find this camera similar on the outside, but the menu is a little more complicated. I learned it quickly, but it is definitely something you want to get familiar with before you go on set. If you really want to use the C300mII to its full potential then I recommend that you watch these comprehensive videos that Canon released.

13 Jul Gwen Live!

Last night was extremely magical when we shot Gwen Stefani on the first night of her This is What the Truth Feels Like Tour. Gwen put on a once in a lifetime performance like the true fucking rockstar she is and we captured every second of it. The show streamed live to fans around the world on Yahoo.com.

I want to thank LMG, Yahoo, and Live Nation for having me on as a Cam Op for the past 2 years. I got to witness so many amazing musicians and be part of a crew that worked tirelessly behind the scenes of every show. We pulled off many miracles. We worked through several blizzards. We elbowed our way through drunken crowds. We wrapped at 2 am. We ran miles of cable through city streets, ice, snow, torrential rain and hail, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. After all, this is what we live for. This is why we do what we do.
