This past summer, I borrowed Eric Kessler’s Red Epic and shot a quick short film with it. This would be my first time ever using the camera system. I wanted to get a few hours on it and experiment with the workflow. I also wanted to try mounting the Epic to the Kessler Pocket Dolly. [...]
A few weeks ago a group of “film buddies” from around the United States got together and spent a few days shooting remote locations in beautiful Northern California’s raw landscape. I was lucky enough to be invited on this trip and got to hang out with some of the best photographers in the business. The [...]
This past weekend, I got my hands on the Phantom Flex again to shoot an insane competition up in Northfield, New Hampshire. Every summer, professional freestyle mountain bikers from all over the world meet up to hit the Slope Style course at Highland Bike Park. These guys are willing to try anything and I decided [...]
First of all, please do not try anything you see in the video above at home. We took precautions while shooting the more dangerous Phantom experiments. We made sure people were at a safe distance, we had fire extinguishers and the camera was protected by Lexan blast shields. I was hired by Cox Communications in [...]
You may have seen “Locked in a Vegas Hotel Room with a Phantom Flex“, but this is what I was hired to shoot while in Las Vegas. Here is the official trailer shot for FOX Sports that will (hopefully) start a Ping Pong revolution! I will post air times for the global release on this [...]
Violating the laws of nature. Playing God. Capturing stuff we are not supposed to see. Potentially opening up a wormhole in the fabric of time. These are a few of the things I think about while shooting with a Phantom High Speed Digital Cinema camera. The above video is a bunch of test footage I [...]
Last Summer, I took a trip to the Pacific Northwest. I brought a Canon 5dmk2 and some Kessler gear with me to capture a few stories while I was on vacation. I have already posted a video about a banana slug, how Philip Bloom fell off the raft on a white water trip, and a [...]
I am back home in Boston after an epic nine day adventure in the Pacific Northwest and in Whistler BC Canada. Over the next few weeks, I will be releasing a few short films I shot while on my vacation. This is the first installment. It has been way too long since I have shot [...]
I bought the Canon MP-E 65mm f2.8 manual 1-5x macro lens a month ago and today was the first time I had a chance to try it out. The lens is $1000.00 and it is a specialty lens. It is good for only one thing, macro photos and video (using Letus DOF adapters or a [...]
This is my first attempt using the Canon 5dmk2 and the Canon Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 for a cosmic time lapse. I was inspired by Tom Lowe at Timescapes.org and his very powerful and epic time lapse montage called “Mountain Light”. I really wanted to get out and shoot, but my schedule has been crazy [...]
