Commercial in Indiana

Shooting a 2 day commercial in Indiana. It's been a shoot about gimbals. I'm using a drone with a Movi attached, flying my Epic on super speeds. Also using a second Epic on my Ronin gimbal I just purchased. I have to say comparing the two, I really enjoy the Ronin. The Movi had more sensitivity issues. Here's a shot of my Epic before flight!

I recently just purchased a beautiful set of Kowa Anamorphics. I have a 40mm,50mm, and 75mm. I have recently shot 2 projects with them and I absolutely love them.

Music Video

Last weekend I shot a beautiful music video for the artist Niykee Heaton and director Asher Moss. We shot with Kowa Anamorphics up in Lancaster, CA.  Here's a shot of one of our locations. :)

Clothing Commercial

Last week I shot a 2 day extreme lifestyle clothing commercial for an Indian based clothing company. We shot motorcross motorcycles all over downtown LA doing stuff. I rode in this crazy speed rail bucket of death. It was quite a rush flying down the LA river and all over LA not being strapped in, holding on for dear life. We shot this spot on the Dragon with Kowa Anamorphics and also used a Ronin Gimbal.
