Here’s a quick shot-by-shot breakdown of the “Intentional” music video I directed for @officialblanca .
Shot on the Sony FX6 paired with vintage Canon Range Finders.
We had 6 hours to light, block, and shoot 5 full setups — so every move had to be intentional hehe. Steadicam became the fastest way to stay fluid while keeping the energy cinematic and performance-driven.
Big love to Steadi Op @larkinm7 for bringing the movement to life.

Here’s a fun clip from my @insta360 camera from @bigxthaplug debut at the @theryman for @applemusic . Can’t thank @micahbickham & @chasehsmith enough for the opportunity! @bigxthaplug had the crowd going nuts!
@mcdonald.kip killed it on the focus as usual and always a huge thank you to @tobin.s.official for having my back out there!!

Spectacular work last week with Larkin McLaughlin who came down from Nashville for some steadicam work as well as the Conventional Operating Class. Amazing as always to see how there are great operators in some of these smaller markets. Keep on killing it!!!! #learnsteadicam #learnsteadi #cameraoperator
Did some test with @goldenmovieranch new @custommadeeasy@raptorsystem trike a few weeks back. This paired with @hdairstudio Cyclo One Head really allows for fast dynamic shots. @lukeanselll absolutely killing it!

A little BTS clip (thanks @lane_fern ) with the shot at the end of the final edit this brand spot for @cspire . The Cyclo from @hdairstudio has been a really fun tool to have in the arsenal. The ability to put the lens over the table like this is something that with traditional steadicam would have been a much more difficult shot.
Huge thanks to @nathanjthomps & @mjunderw00d for the opportunity and for trusting me with their ideas.
Can’t thank @ckcates & @lane_fern for all their help. Building out the @pstechnik Skateracope on the Cyclo Head was not easy (notice the weights on the back of the head 😅). But they absolutely crushed it!!

Cool lighting breakdown from @chrishaggertydp for a project we shot for @ourvinyl & @itsbabyjake a while back. Love getting to do live sessions like this. Letting the music guide the movement is so much fun! Also @chrishaggertydp has a sick set up at @hawkinshideawaytn
