Corporate video production can have it’s challenges. One of these challenges is locations as we don’t often get to choose where we shoot. If we’re lucky, we get a scout day or pictures of the location we’re supposed to shoot in or we’ve been there before and already know what we’re walking into. In these…
Canon 5D Mark IV. The Canon 5D Mark IV line of DSLRs from Canon is one of their finest product lines. The newest edition is the 5D Mark IV, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. Our 5D Mark II was a great camera, and we definitely had some amazing times together, like that one-time lapse we…

One of our most frequented Las Vegas video production venues is Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Delano, hotel Four Seasons hotel, and the 2 Million square foot Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

Those three provide limitless laughter and entertainment as they decimated their opponents in ruthless fashion. Hockey is a fantastic sport! It’s full of speed, danger, excitement, and occasional fisticuffs. The best part: Las…
So, here’s the thing, most of the time, those little signs on the bottom of overpasses, tunnels, bridges, parking garage entrances, etc. can be ignored… but sometimes they shouldn’t be. For instance, if you’re in a tall truck, if you play in the NBA, or maybe you’re on a pogo stick, you’d probably want to…

Even when you think you’ve brought too much gear, and have items you’ll never use for a particular shoot, there’s always the chance unexpected challenges will arise. Last week, we were shooting a single talent, stand up, short script via teleprompter, and we were outside. The biggest hurdle seemed to be getting clean audio despite…
The first of two Spider Pod TR2SP2 sets has arrived, and we couldn’t be more giddy (we’re skirting school girl status). This awesome bit of amazing consists of independent tripod riser and operator platform. That they’re separated means that operator movement, chuckling, or coughing won’t result in a shaky image- which is awesome when you’re…
