THERE WILL BE DRONES. Updated Drone Reel! Many thanks to the countless DPs, directors, producers who let me collaborate on projects over the years. This is still one of my favorite tools in the kit.

Honored to have worked on Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! Premiering TONIGHT!!! on HBO at 8pm ET. I grew up in a Mel Brooks home, watching Blazing Saddles at the ripe age of ten. Spaceballs was easily the most-played VHS in our house growing up. Huge congrats to @juddapatow and @mbonfiglio2000 on an incredible film, and thanks to DP @mattbass for trusting me to operate and @bryanjackie for fun and collaboration in the camera department. And thanks to Miranda Soto and Wayne Fetterman and Amanda Rohlke and @erik_et_trujillo and countless others! So grateful to be a small part of this special film. Thanks to @hbodocs for pioneering in this business!

Grizzly Encounter! Last week @elchrissy and I went on a private tour with @kenaiadventures to view brown bears on a meadow in Alaska’s Tuxedni Bay. Over the course of nearly three hours we slowly - and safely - approached this male grizzly bear named Seattle. Outstanding experience! This is an edit featuring the moment we were about 25-30 feet from the bear. Canon C500 Mark II w/ Sigma Sport 70-200 lens.

One last house painting post - for posterity. 🥲 And because I this morning, I walked (before my coffee kicked in) to my former paint station ready to paint. By far the biggest DIY project I’ve ever done. I’ve seen every inch of This Old House. Thanks to everyone who checked out my stories along the way. I appreciate the feedback! And thanks @dunnedwards for the best paint in the business. And of course my lovely wife @elchrissy for the help and support!

What a pleasure to DP this style interview with absolute legend @heidiklum for a @glamourgermany cover story. Thanks to Gaffer @glowingambersproductions and @pdauerbach as 1AC. And big thanks for the Glamour Germany team for directing in German via zoom. Though I don’t understand much, I definitely get the gist! Full Interview on @glamourgermany and @youtube for viewing.

It’s been one year since I was so inspired by a @francisbaconartist book that I decided to learn to paint. 🎨 A few favorites. More to come.

A masters course in use of archival footage. Thanks so much for everyone for having me on. And thanks @robbiewilliams for sharing so much with us and the world. Please go watch!
