We got another breakdown for you all today and we're taking a look back at 2018 filming a live acoustic session for The Brevet! The location was an old house with a ton of character (very 1970s) but the tricky thing was I was doing the project myself with extremely limited lighting fixtures and grip along with having to film the entire thing handheld (yay for easyrig!). That choice was to create the feeling that you are there with the band as they are playing uninterrupted so I set them all up in a "U" shape to easily pan and push in on each band member.

Is it just me or did every camera manufacture think between October and November everyone would have extra money to be buying modular cameras? I don't know exactly but that's what we're talking about today and specifically the need for modular type cameras including the RED Komodo, Z-CAM, Lumix BGH1 and the Canon C70.

A question i'm sure many are wondering, "When should I go freelance?". Let me tell you it's not an easy question to answer at all but from personal experience and what i've seen others do successfully I share in this episode for you today.
The most important take away from this episode is to trust yourself, believe in why you're doing it and let your inner voice always be louder than the criticisms of others.

Have you ever been hired for a job that perhaps "isn't your style"? I think we all have at some point but perhaps we are asking the wrong questions to ourselves. Perhaps we don't need a style but rather the project we're presented with will dictate the style we need. Let's dive in a little deeper and better understand if we need a style to set ourselves apart or if the whole "style" thing is unnecessary.
