Vitamin Water commercial in the Half Pipe

Shooting the new Vitaminwater commercial campaign with some of the top skiers and snowboarders in the sport. We shot at Copper Mountain in the half pipe  with the new Red Epic all at 300 frames per second 2k res. The camera was provided by Rocky Mtn. 4K and performed perfectly in the cold temps! The camera is small enough and light enough (even fully built out) that I could even go handheld on skiis in half pipe keeping up with the riders as they flew 15+ feet above me.

Discovery CH commercial with the new Red Epic camera- shooting @ 300 FPS

the camera handled 300fps very well and captured fantastic images of the glass shattering in slo-motion

I was very impressed with the Red, fast reboot, touch screen controls, removable wireless RCU, pretty slick camera!

tricky lighting conditions, enough lumens for 300fps @ 45 degree shutter but not so much light that is washed the transparent image printed on the glass panes.

The new Sony PMW F-3, on a commercial shoot

Testing the new Sony  PMW-F3 on a white cyc/limbo. Going with a preset Gamma curve or tweak a standard setting and crank down the knee level? We did both to see which would hold more detail in the whites and have less impact on the overall gamma and skin tones.\

Patagonia- a test of gear, patience, and skill…

A 3 week shoot took our crew through the harshest conditions the Patagonia region had to offer. Snow, rain, 60-80mph wind, and long cold days. Thank god for the occasional heli-shoot days!
