The original 97 Ambulance came back home. The lady we sold it to was was nice and gave it back for free.. It had never been registered lol. Kevin is taking on the project - he loves dirty diesel engines. Hopefully it turns into a nice camper that can pull the boat.

@kdubz_grip and I worked with the Europeans today to make an amazing car concept commercial. @nakkkkita - thanks for letting do some crazy stuff with SR-3. Great working with you and hopefully many more. #16mm

Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Some day I won’t have to prep lights and car rigs but I’m happy that I can provide these tools. Please hmu when you need these items. We can plan on rigging 2024 Mercedes SL with hood mount and hostess tray. We have 8’ rails on the hood mount so we can capture the body of the car. DP @nakkkkita is bringing me 16mm camera and we will put some magic in the can tomorrow. 16mm Film Cameras are a staple and can never be replaced. I plan on rigging @litepanels Astra 6x Daylight to the car on Gold Mount batteries. @aputure.lighting 300x on v- mount batteries and at night we’ll use Astera Tubes with a cascading effect. I have 600d with Spotlight and genny for some run and gun night shots. Stay tuned. Also plan on playing with SkypanelX as a moon source and going for cool reflections on the car. #carrigs #carporn #mecedesbenz #arri #skypanelX

Two days in the can for “Love’s Long Shadows” GQ and I got to be the local talent for this part of their epic journey. Good luck @dollarsdonuts ! The noir film has been a pleasure to light. @garciaxquintero - thank you for being a great human and helping me out on set.

HMI is the best.

Black void with 8x8 Soft Box kinda day. Aparo Air Tube is great. DP says he loves it. I’m using it for an eye light. Have a good week!

When Nate says let’s do some freaky shit I know it’s going to be a fun photo session. I really enjoy lighting photos, there’s more freedom than in making films and videos. Good stuff bro, love seeing you whip out the medium format camera for double exposure. Even got to shape strobe light for some sunset looks.

That’s a wrap on the short film “FML” ! We laughed, we cried. Friendships and great images were formed. Looking forward to seeing this on the big screen. @viobensmith - just the best person. keep making the magic happen. thank you for the call! Shout out to my very good friend/Gaffer who Key Grips for me (academy nominated) @boogie_savage You’re probably pumping lighting gear around right now as I’m posting this.

It was Isaac Newton who first fully developed a theory of color based on a color wheel. I just have fun making movies but these rules still apply. Maybe we are monkeys with great eyesight for finding brightly colored fruit. 🍎 🍌 🍊

Gaffer experiments in the garage. Portrait lighting on black void is always harder than you think. Especially in a cramped garage. Give yourself a big space to shoot, so you can have enough distance to cut light.
