    Cinevate Durus Follow Focus Review

    11 Feb 2013 in Uncategorized

    The Cinevate Durus Follow Focus is a great follow focus and gives you quite the bang for the buck.  With its slick design, large wheel, and smooth mechanics, it’s no wonder Cinevate has grown exponentially in the past few years. Other follow focuses in the same price range and build quality would be the Oconnor Ofocus, the Red Rock Micro Follow Focuz, and the zFocus.  Coming in at $1,255, the Durus Follow Focus is fairly economic.  One of the things...

    24 Jan 2013 in Gear Review

    Powering your RED Scarlet & RED Epic And with no further adieu, here is our first geek out blog post.  A lot of RED newcomers ask about the same things.  One of these topics is power solutions.  Here is my take! One of the new selling points of the Scarlet is that RED has designed a new battery system using Redvolts, small batteries.  These redvolts are small, lightweight, and cheap, so they are ideal for run and gun situations.  They...

    29 Jan 2012 in Camera Assist & Commercial

    Working as a freelancer definitely has its perks! Working with some of the best shooters in the biz, we created a video that introduced the Army Vs. Navy Football game last year. It was a great experience getting to go up to West Point and Annapolis. All of the kids were great to work with and very appreciative and understanding of our shoot. And their performances were really fantastic! Shooting on DSLR’s is always a good time. Especially now that...
