the ocean // for @saidthewhale ooooh boy this was a special one for me, shooting 16mm with a micro crew and great friends. jumping in and out of vans and almost falling off this boat in the wind storms of october 2021, it felt like we robbed a bank pulling this video off.

“hello beautiful” for arc’teryx films for this piece, i wanted a lens with lots of character and distortion to help tell the story and elevate climbing visuals. i was dead set on it feeling different than other climbing films i’d seen before. thanks to @keslowcamera i was able to do a multi day lens test and try just about every cinema zoom available to find the right fit - i finally landed on the Voigtlander Zoomar, a distortion heavy vintage lens that gave us the look pictured in the first slide. this was definitely my favourite lens of the shoot. we also shot a large portion of the film on an Angenieux HR 25-250, and supplemented with a couple rehoused TLS Fuji EBC lenses (used in second slide pan shot). writer/director: darcy hennessy @darcythedirector starring: alannah yip @alannah_yip production company: @wearewelltravelled for @arcteryx producer: sarah steele @sarahleesteele line producer: charlene brochu @charlenebrochu dp: me @karinajesson 1st ac: lauren yim @lilbosslauren 2nd ac: steve nguyen @stewwz rigger/safety: kinley aitken @kinleyaitkenguiding griplx: justin uitto @skypanelofficial sound mixer: dave pullmer bts: amanda palmer @amandalcam editor: jen randall @jen.i.randall score: missy donaldson colour: natasha nair / elemental post @natashanair_

“hello beautiful” for arc’teryx films this was my first shoot back to work last spring after suffering an on-set concussion so bad i had to retrain my brain to walk without getting dizzy i remember hiking the scout and barely being able to keep up - but shooting this film brought me back to life. @darcythedirector and i set out to make a climbing film that felt new and stood on its own, and most importantly felt true to @alannah_yip ’s story it was a very special week, a real team effort, many hands lugging gear through the forest. happy to share this one and thank you to all involved: writer/director: darcy hennessy @darcythedirector starring: alannah yip @alannah_yip production company: @wearewelltravelled for @arcteryx producer: sarah steele @sarahleesteele line producer: charlene brochu @charlenebrochu dp: me @karinajesson 1st ac: lauren yim @lilbosslauren 2nd ac: steve nguyen @stewwz rigger/safety: kinley aitken @kinleyaitkenguiding griplx: justin uitto @skypanelofficial sound mixer: dave pullmer bts: amanda palmer @amandalcam editor: jen randall @jen.i.randall score: missy donaldson @miss_missy_meliss colour: natasha nair / elemental post @natashanair_ thank you to @keslowcamera and shoutout @chafreeart for all the help

the gathering table cbc creators network doc on: @thegatheringtable_nyc @zainabbsadiasaeed i’m going to be honest here, i shot this doc on zero sleep; not a minute of REM. i was surrounded by excellent company and support on this project, but i have a history of some pretty bad bouts of insomnia. sometimes my brain does not turn off no matter what i do. my intention is not to say any of this as a flex, but instead to just be real! my caption could easily be that i had a wonderful time on this project because that is also very true, but today and moving forward i really value times when i open up about challenges that i face. i’m proud of my work as always, but it wasn’t the easiest day for me as a human. and sometimes online it’s so easy to forget that there are humans behind the pictures stay well friends! more humans behind the pictures: 🫶🏻 director: @jonahlm.film producer: @mundanederek cinematographer: 👩🏻‍🍳 1st ac: @composition_ok 2nd ac: @miateodocio gaffer: @krystal.chn production sound: @alexshamku editor: @na_yo_ post audio: @ranger.sound colourist: @soyoung_colorist
