This was a definite highlight, so happy to see this project out in the wild. Beautiful locations, hard-working talent and crew, great collaborations all around from production all the way through post. Shot on @reddigitalcinema V-Raptor and @freeflysystems Ember with @lensworksrentals Type SK primes that really shone in the winter foliage (or lack thereof).

PS I went to Ireland in June. It was neat.

Particularly proud of this one. Firing on all cylinders. Great concept, production design, crew, cut, color, sound… • • • • • Director: @wilsonworld DP: 🤡 Producer: @mattcsiemer AD: @dustiecar Photographer: @ktbird77 1st AC: @cam_assist 2nd AC: @mmtv.stl P&W.

Custom👏Built👏Komodo👏Shooter • Couldn’t resist posting this dope custom built, handheld Komodo rig from our buddy @greatbignerd ! James modded his Komodo with a custom modified Bolex 16mm handle and a Hasselblad HC4 viewfinder to get a real retro look. Hit the link in our bio to see more of this rig and some other custom builds from James 🙌 • • • • #filmmaking #filmtools #redkomodo #komodo #bolex #16mm #bolex16mm #customcamera #custombuild #reddigital #reddigitalcinema #onset #setlife #filmmaker #film #handheld #cinema #cinemacamera

We’ve worked on this campaign for a few years in a row now, and every year it’s one of my favorite projects to sink my teeth into. This year we took the show on the road to Colorado, so the challenges were location, location, location. Tons of moving parts, multiple units, wildlife restrictions, etc. Eventually, we started in on the martini shot. We fired up the haze machine and the wind shifted. We chased it for what seemed like hours. But then, all of a sudden as blue hour rolled in, the breeze calmed. A lightning storm appeared in the distance. I made some of my favorite frames of all time. Felt like a mic drop moment. And that was a wrap. • • • • • Director: Tim Wilson @wilsonworld ⁠⁠ DP: 🥸⁠⁠ Executive Producer: Matt Siemer @mattcsiemer ⁠⁠ Producer: Kiley Enno @kileyenno ⁠⁠ \\⁠⁠ 2nd Unit Director: Dustie Carter @dustiecar ⁠⁠ 2nd Unit DP: Mike Dalton @mike__dalton ⁠⁠ 2nd Unit Everything Else: @lockeandstache \\⁠⁠ Camera/Grip/Electric Depts:⁠⁠ AC: Nick Bruso @schnicholas_dp G&E: Trevor Tietjen @trevortietjen Cable Cam: @lockeandstache ⁠⁠ Aerials: Soren Jensen @soren___jensen @skysight__motion__cinema , Mike Hagadorn @mike_hagadorn Additional Camera Support: @cinemechanics \\⁠⁠ Photographer: Brandon Voges @brandonvoges ⁠⁠ 2nd Photographer: Steve Eschner⁠⁠ Photo Assist: Matt Kile @mattkile_oneword ⁠⁠ Digital Tech: Doug Garfield @dtgarfield ⁠⁠ \\⁠⁠ Edit: Andy DeVries⁠⁠ @andydv VFX: Andy DeVries⁠⁠ @andydv Audio: Steve Horne @steve_horne_sound ⁠⁠ \\⁠⁠ #kowa #anamorphic #shotonred #r3d #gemini #komodo #angenieux #optimo #cablecam #defycadence #cinematography #cinematographer #postproduction #directorofphotography #dop #movi #movimethod #setlife
