On set of our last commercial, this one was very exciting personally because it allowed me to shoot something I've been wanting to do for awhile now. Excited to share it.

Over the past few jobs I've truly realized the value of a great 1st AC. Here is my 1st AC, Zack Laning and I setting up a shot on our last job together. Also, pretty sure that's @greg.unger
our key grip in the background. He also crushed it. .

I'm pretty sure we won Halloween this year. #mariokart

I finally made some time to work on personal projects and so this past weekend I DP'd a spec commercial with an amazing team that overcome more technical issues than I care to remember. Here is one of my favorite frames so far.

We only shoot the finest of garbage alley scenes. Also, I wear an orange hat just in case I get lost in a crowd I'll be easier to find. pic by my dude @elconnero

You know things are serious when my hat gets turned backwards. Here I am trying to channel my inner tree of life. Pic by @elconnero

It's amazing to see an actor work and absolutely lose themself in the moment and in a weird way, as a DP I feel like I'm on that journey with them, responding to their movements and capturing their emotions with a camera. Our lead Manny crushed this one and I can't wait for everyone to see him. Pic by @elconnero

One of my most favorite things about filmmaking is that it's such a collaborative medium. I shot a short film this weekend and we had the best crew to work with, everybody crushed it and I think we are going to have a great product.
