Fastec Imaging High Speed Fun – Lacrosse Test 718 Frames Per Second

I am having a lot of fun up in New Hampshire testing out a high speed camera. The camera is not very easy to shoot with, no viewfinder, very shallow depth of field and requires a lot of light. Plus, you must have a laptop connected to it at all times! But I love a [...]

Bloom/Guilmette Blog War – Bloom Overboard

Foolish I know, this blog war. It is a real waste of talent and resources. But it is fun and entertaining too.
I have been on the road with a bunch of Kessler gear and I have shot a ton of cool stuff in the Pacific Northwest. Exciting content like the Pacific coastline, the California Redwoods, [...]

Bloom/Guilmette Blog War and Pacific Northwest Road Trip

I have known an English fellow, Philip Bloom, for about two years. Lovely human being, but something is fishy. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, but I think Philip has declared war. You can read his blog here.
I am currently in beautiful northern California in a small town called Ft Bragg. [...]

First Flight with the Kessler 12 Foot Crane

I have been testing Kessler products in Northern Indiana and now in the mountains of New Hampshire.
For the first time, I have been using the V3 Kessler Crane. I joke around with Eric Kessler and say, “you guys make cranes too?”. Their first product was the crane and this established the company, but I became [...]

We shot in two locations. The first was a small bar/restaurant in the city of Worcester and the second location was an old movie [...]

The System is called “Shuttle Pod” and it is a dolly that wheels down the metal frame used by the Kessler [...]

Kessler Oracle, ElektraDRIVE & CineSlider Motion Control Time Lapse Video Blog

ETHICS STATEMENT: I was given this system to test. I have used it on jobs and do not want to give it back. I hope Eric Kessler lets me keep this system or will sell it to me as used…haha! That being said, I feel it important to be honest and tell my readers this [...]
