Haven’t kept up with posting any work for the reason that this year has just been an awesome busy year. So with the year wrapping up! I wanted to lay out some of my favorite projects I’ve been apart throughout the next coming weeks with some small reflections on each project! This year I got many opportunities to assist on set from doing Grip work, to Gaffing, DP work, and camera work. I got a chance to learn a lot from all perspectives which is an amazing to experience to have! I’m super thankful for all the Producers, DPs, Gaffers, and Directors that brought me out to their projects! With that being said I’ll be posting hopefully 8 videos in the next few weeks to make up me not uploading my work the entire year lol.

Sharing some of my corporate work I did as a DP for @varathane in 2025! This was an awesome shoot to be apart of, especially because this was a rebrand! The style of shooting was very much run and gun since there was a lot of products and shots to cover throughout the day but it brought me back to the old days when the goal was to capture the moment and get lost in the shot and find creative angles to shoot from! For this shot we kept the lighting as simple as possible by just using some neg and bounce, can’t go wrong with that! Credits Director: Joel Kapity Asst.

Another piece that I got to gaff earlier for @thereshomebase ! Gaffing this was really cool because it was multiple one shot music video so the goal was to try to light the whole space! But it wasn’t too bad as l’ve had more confidence in lighting a space by this time. During this time I was also learning and reflecting on how to manage a crew of grips and utilize them to help me light. Overall I felt more confident and it only made me excited to hop on set and play the role of a gaffer! Thanks to @franksono for bringing along to gaff this project!

Some shots from a shoot I a chance to gaff! Last year when I started doing gaffing work, one of my 1st opportunities to play the role as a gaffer was for a shoot called WayV 威神v°秘境（Kick Back Spec MV for CLAID Chinese New Year Show Trailer. Looking back I was still very new to lighting but this shoot taught me a lot and helped me with understand the role a gaffer plays and what is expected from a gaffer, I took a lot of tips from the DP @justinkingdp who helped me shape myself as a better gaffer. This was a shoot that really allowed me to learn the information that I needed to learn and apply it for the future shoots that I had coming for the year of 2025! Anyways I huge shoutout to the crew at @claid_performance for letting me apart of it and huge shoutout to @zhang_films and @aczy2002 for bringing us on! And to the amazing crew!

In the last few months I’ve been apart of some amazing projects with amazing crews! And this simply inspired me to create something of my own! Here’s some gimbal shots I did and lighting work!
