Keeping the Halloween and fall vibes alive 🎃🍂
Here’s a clip from a test shoot where I experimented with lighting and fogging a nighttime cemetery scene.
To get that eerie atmosphere, I built what’s known in the film world as a “tube of death” - basically long plastic ducting with holes punched every few feet to disperse fog evenly across the set. I actually had to run two separate tubes to keep up with the wind that night.
For the moonlight source, I used a 56’ boom lift to fly two @aputure.lighting 1200Ds and a 1200X over the treeline. The last few frames show my visual inspiration from @wednesdaynetflix and @strangerthingstv .
This ended up being one of the most challenging lighting tests I’ve ever done, but I really like how it turned out. Huge shoutout to the cast and crew who made it possible 🫶

Caught the sunrise this morning. Decided to test the Timelapse function on my Ursa Mini Pro G2. Not too shabby.

Our newest Axius commercial is making its debut during the first half of the Super Bowl and we couldn’t be more excited.
Car buying doesn’t have to feel stressful, awkward, or outdated. Axius elevates the entire experience, and we’re proud to help elevate their message.
You’ll see it airing right here in the Michiana market, so keep your eyes open. 👀
When you catch it, drop me a comment and let me know what you think. 🏈

This time? We hit the farm. Boots on the ground. Cameras rolling. And yes… a little fun with the cows along the way.
Here’s to mixing grit with polish, farm with flair, and always pushing the story forward.

🎬Behind the Lens Blocking isn’t just about where the actors stand—it’s about shaping the emotion of every frame. These quiet moments of planning with the DP are where the story begins to breathe.
Every detail matters. Every movement tells a story.
💛 Huge shoutout to our amazing producer @sherifelbialyy for his endless patience, and to our rockstar UPM @marcelloliveraa + PA @joshstgreenwood for literally jumping in and blocking for me. Couldn’t ask for a better team!

Had to take advantage of the sunset the other night. Or maybe I set a couple of amaran lights up to test a sunset look idk…
