𝗧𝗶𝗱𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻. Odd reflection as I'm attending to more slight improvements to all things in my life. I have a lot of thoughts about organizing, caring for, and preparing camera equipment. Experience has inspired my efforts on these fronts. Those miles range from rental houses,

𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀. I've been tending to a few things at the hut, and an insight to the madness for my friends here. Assembling a few compact carts/racks that need to be portable and boy was I feeling itchy post assembly. I can't express the discomfort I feel around

𝗔 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗢𝗰𝘁.𝟬𝟭.𝟮𝟱. Unsure if Inktober-ing all month, but it has been a real long while and sharing some art might be fun to do again. #inktober #drawing #sketch

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. Making a monster to make something else beautiful. Such is life. Tiny clamp hug for you today.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲. You know, saying hi and all that.

𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹. Worth sound being on for Craig's play-by-play. A small break in filming while in an incredibly special area at a special time. We landed for a quick liquid expulsion on the bank of the river. The serenity of enjoying the salmon's upstream wiggling romance

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻. And Night Owl'n. #cinematography

𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. Felt more like a week than a month in 2025. But in it's haste, it provided a few nearly still handed temporal beats. Then without warning back to the woosh of it zooming by. Maybe its just October being super eager to take to the stage.

𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗼𝗻 𝗭𝗥, 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲. Every camera test, every film stock test, gets a match strike. Nikon ZR, 65mm T2.9, ISO 800, 180 degree shutter, 23.976 fps. 6K REDCODE RAW, REDWideGamutRGB/Log3G10 > Philmcolor Output Transform to BT.1886. #R3D

𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗼𝗻 𝗭𝗥, 𝟰 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀. While I briefly have the camera, I'm testing a bit of real world scenarios with audio and lens setups. Showing these to help understand the scale really. This being a small camera, playing to it's strength and keeping it

𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗼𝗻 𝗭𝗥. Testing. Testing. Lots to dig into, but this is a spicy compact hybrid mirrorless body loaded with RAW and mezzanine codecs. Early days, and certainly lots of firmware suggestions, but the big good things here and now that I like are: 6K, full frame 135 format,

𝗔𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻 𝗜𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘀. Beware pumpkins. You shall be sliced and spiced, seeds harvested then toasted, and innards baked into pies. In most cases we'll be ingesting you, chewed or sipped (mysterious to me about that sipping part still as I don't drink other gourds). In

𝗢𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗺. And a sharp umbra to boot. A quick think at the table with the sphere in hand as the sun spun away over the horizon.

𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗡𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 - 𝗣𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 - 𝗟𝗔 𝟬𝟵.𝟭𝟴.𝟮𝟱. This show was phenomenal and special. Some images from the pit when I wasn't singing and dancing.

𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻. Sometimes after a particularly good filming flight I'll take a moment to hop out of the helicopter to watch the rotors and look up to the sky reflecting back on the flight, shots, and conditions. Every flight is special to me, but sometimes it goes

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴. Nearly went wireless for follow focus, but today is about feeling it for a few hours. #R3D

𝗘𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆.

𝗡𝗜𝗞𝗢𝗡 𝗡-𝗥𝗔𝗪 & 𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗖𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗥𝗔𝗪 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀. I've been getting a lot of questions since the ZR announcement, but one that has come up a bit is potentially a "hack" for DaVinci Resolve. And well, it's not a hack, but rather a quirk. Back in February 2025 RED added

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻.... with his stick. #R3D

𝗙𝘂𝗷𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗘𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮 𝟱𝟱. Though announced and teased, pre-orders are now up as well as pricing and specs for the upcoming Eterna camera. This is the sensor found in their latest 44x33 cameras in a more motion picture production minded body with I/O you'd expect and
