In a world of chasing every goal, competing with shortcuts, and appeasing every stakeholder, I've found there can still be space for personal growth. Looking back, plus looking ahead, I did the homework and made the leap to owning a set of cinema lenses, specifically DZO FILM Arles primes. (1/4)

Time for a little upgrade for my directors and clients to see the shots from a distance. 😎
H/t to @ianiscreative.bsky.social for the reminder how inexpensive these things are nowadays when latency isn’t mission critical, plus they can send the feed to 4 phones and/or the handheld-ready 7” Pyro 7. 🎬

Highly recommend the Butterfly Pavilion at the Natural History Museum until August 24th. Last went to this a long, long time ago and it’s so different — plus you can see the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art right behind this.

Shout out to William Lu for the borrowed vintage Zeiss primes, Ian Beckman for the borrowed Accsoon Nano for wireless, and EVS for the Dana Dolly. 💯

Storyboarding this short out for the production (using the great little app Storyboarder) helped shape a variety of unique coverage, which is oh so important for short shorts. ✏️

Shot on the FWD:labs RED in 5K. This one utilized an overhead Matthews Maxi Matthpole with an articulating arm off for an Aputure MT Pro, powered by v-mount another 10ft away. The unique blue-green light is a Litepanels Gemini at 10000K + 100% green. Color all in camera. 💡

Some of my photos from last week for the National Union of Healthcare Workers, whose striking therapist members temporarily shut down Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles in an act of civil disobedience. Kaiser has been dragging their feet for months as the behavioral healthcare workers strike continues.
