Pain and Gain

The all star team of Miguel, Govinda, and I were reunited this weekend on set.  We shot with the same camera packages as the recent Michael Bay film, Pain and Gain - the Red Epic and GoPRo Hero3.  But unlike Bay's set, we had 3 Mark Wahlberg's.

This was my first shoot with the Red Epic camera and it performed great.  Both days were hot, outside shooting, and the camera didn't have any issues with overheating.  We kept the fan at 100% since we weren't recording audio, which helped a lot I'm sure.  We used Canon L series prime lenses, relying on the 50mm (1.2) over half of the time.  Screw on variable ND filters were a must and allowed us to keep the Epic at native ISO 800 while setting the Canon lenses at wide open.

The shoot was a lot of fun and I look forward to shooting on the Epic more.

"Savour Every Moment" hits the interwebs

The pet video that Keith, CJ, and I were shooting over the last two months just went online.  It has a lot hits.

Pro on the Go

When asked at breakfast if he knew how to attach a Go Pro camera to the van, Miguel laughed. He drove a GoPro from New York to San Diego on the roof of an RV and flew another over the jungles of Ethiopia. So yeah, a minivan in Portland is no problem.

JFK at dawn

It basically looks the same as in the middle of the day, but everyone is a little more tired. I'm heading to Portland this morning (the one with hipsters as opposed to lobsters).

My love of Lowepro Travel Cases is at an all time high. In two bags, I managed to pack an FS-700 camera, 4 lenses, TV Logic onboard monitor, 2 Litepanel 1 by 1s, a Dedo 150, 4 Anton Bauer bricks, and a bunch of accessories.
