Behind the Scenes on local election commercials. Every time an election season nears, our calendars fill up with plenty of campaign commercials. Sometimes it’s someone campaigning for a local, “entry level” position, other times, someone is trying to move into the big-time in D.C. T.V. commercials are one of the most effective ways to get…
FiveSix Productions’ crews hit the beaches from Long Beach to San Diego! Do you know what’s better than having sand literally everywhere on and in your body? Not much, because you must have been on the beach to get that way, and, if you’re on the beach, you’re winning. Down here in Southern California, we catch…
James Harden, the bearded-master of the between the legs crossover – fadeaway. Las Vegas in July means three things: massive 4th of July fireworks shows, inhumane daily temperatures, and the NBA Summer League. While the Summer League has wrapped up, we’re still excited about having filmed with the reigning MVP of the league. James Harden,…
NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Every July, “The Association” (the National Basketball Association), descends on Las Vegas, Nevada for the NBA Summer League. This eleven-day tournament gives teams the opportunity to evaluate their young players before the regular season begins in the fall. The action doesn’t stop at the Thomas & Mack Center at…
Trekking Through Appalachia, a journey through the American South. While FiveSix Productions’ motley crew call either Las Vegas, Nevada or Long Beach, California home, we certainly love to travel. We are no strangers to jet streams and interstates. We travel throughout the year, but late spring and early summer seem to have us gone more…
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…
Let’s talk about Audio Recording. No, let’s talk about money. I believe RZA and his Wu-Tang Clan said it best in 1994, when they taught us about C.R.E.A.M. Cash rules everything around me- that’s a lesson that applies far beyond the confines of the 36 Chambers of Staten Island. What does this mean here in…
While only a few years old, the High Roller at The Linq has quickly become a very popular attraction for tourists and cameras alike. Whether you’re hitting Sin City for some fun, or, filming a commercial, television show, or the like, the Linq provides excellent views of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. It’s not just…
Earlier this year, FiveSix Productions teamed up with some of our good friends here in Vegas, to highlight some of the great spots in this wonderful town. One of the best (and most delicious) locations was Carson Kitchen in downtown Las Vegas. Carson Kitchen, if you STILL haven’t found your way there, is a creation…
We definitely felt like kids on Christmas Eve, as we waited for our Tilta Nucleus-M follow focus system to arrive. When it did, oh boy, were we excited! This thing is amazing. The kit includes three motors to drive focus, zoom, and iris; all of which can be daisy chained off the same power source.…
