A Simple Idea, But Not So Simple To Pull Off.
This spot looks simple but was far from it. It was a real challenge. We spent three full days driving all over San Diego county to locations we didn’t even know for sure would work. Most did some not as well, others really well. It was pretty much flying of the seat of our pants […]
Canon C100 Continuous Auto Focus Upgrade Coming In February
Canon announced a new feature upgrade for the C100. For $500 Canon will update the firmware and adjust the settings to the existing C100 sensor.

Sigma 18-35 Parfocal Test.
So far I’m really liking the Sigma 18-35 lens. I used it on a new Investigative Image promo and it worked perfectly. Wide open this lens is very sharp and the overall image is fantastic. I have no issues that it’s a APS-C lens either. I needed the range that this lens has. I look […]
FxFactory Transitions Now Work with Premiere Pro CC 7.1 Update

In this promo I used Filmimpact.net Volume 2 transitions. So easy and gives the promo a little more energy. I moved to Premiere Pro CS6 from Final Cut Pro 7 a year ago. In the transition to Adobe I also found transition effects that I loved so dearly in FCP7 from FXfactory didn’t work as well. […]
Investigates. Canon C300 Log Gamma, Sigma 18-35 & A GH3
This spot was fun to work on. The producer had a vision and we talked about the best way to make it happen. The goal was simple. Create a spot for our fairly new investigative unit. I wanted to stay away from the news promo look of using news footage in the spot. I didn’t […]
Bootcamp For Photojournalist Ad Campaign
I ran across this funny promo campaign for Sky New Zealand’s rugby tournament coverage. It’s rare to see so many spots highlighting photojournalist and being a former news guy I got a good laugh at these spots. They are very well produced and shot. Now watch them now cream puff! These are my favorite’s of […]

The lens has been rumored then on October 15th. Sigma officially released the lens on their website for about five hours then the link went down and it’s still down. Not sure why it went down but the lens does exist and I did see it and gathered this info. I have, and like very […]
