Last week I also had the opportunity to help shoot a promo video for a local wedding band, Chasing Lights. It was a great opportunity to take out some new lights and have a bit of fun with fairy lights! (video will be posted once it has been released by the band)

I ordered this back in October knowing that it could take some time before it was ready to ship. Although it took a bit longer than I expected, it has been well worth the [...]

One of the benefits of using a DSLR for film making is enjoying the nice bokeh and shallow depth of field from the large sensors and 35mm lenses. One of the problems with using a DSLR for film making is focusing. Even on the newer cameras with better quality LCD screens, achieving proper focus is [...]
