2016 was a great year for us! We continue to grow our client list and continue to learn how to do this “production” thing better and better.

We had multiple photographers and videographers working the event, and I personally got to do a fun 1st person POV project that night. People gave me the oddest looks wearing my custom […]

PolarPro ND8/PL Filter (Cinema Series: Vivid) vs DJI ND8 Filter. We purchased the PolarPro Cinema Series: Vivid collection of filters for our Phantom 4 drone. After some basic tinkering with the PP filters, we got some great images. That said, we noticed a tint to the image and wanted to compare these to other filters to see how they performed. We purchased the DJI ND8 and compared it to the PolarPro ND8/PL filter, the results are surprising. The biggest takeaway […]

From the outside, we knew Chabad was a great organization that did wonderful things in the community, but to see behind the scenes and to hear their story first hand was a real treat. […]

Holy Toledo! I love NAB! The fact that I live in Las Vegas where NAB happens every year is like Christmas in April, a 20 minute drive to the convention center and I’m surrounded by 100,000 people, all geeking out over this video stuff. I love it. The other thing I love about NAB is that I get to meet some of my heroes in the industry. This year I got to meet and speak with Emm from Cheesycam. Emm […]
