This is a little previs that I made for a job, unfortunately this shot got cut, but I learned a lot putting this together. I modeled the dolly track and rigged my Fisher10 dolly to them. I used Autodesk Pinnochio for the model of the girl.
The shot isn’t very complicated, but it showed accurately how the director and I wanted to approach a relatively big camera move in a small studio.
Cheers,

Just finished a quick one day VFX commercial and we use my Canon C300 with an Optimo 15-40mm. TCS had a the EF to PL adapter and with the lens support it was pretty solid.

I got a chance to shoot with the Fujinon 19-90mm Cabrio zoom lens today. I was really impressed with the range, 19mm wider than I usually ever shoot and 90mm is a decent close up focal length. The lens handles flares really well and is very sharp. I was trying to compare it to my experience with the Canon 30-105mm. The obvious difference is the focal range, they are both about T2.9 and both very sharp.
The Fuji is really geared for handheld with it’s zoom rocker and form factor so that is a big plus for handheld work. But it’s around $47k so that is a lot more than the Canon 30-105mm, which is more like $25k. They are both great lenses. I need to test the new Zeiss cine zooms now.
Cheers,

The Smart Car commercials I shot with directors Dark Igloo and production company M ss ng P eces are live on the Smart website and their Youtube channel. The spots look great and coincidently the set photos look great too. I basically live on Youtube/Vimeo these days so I was excited to see the Smart Youtube channel header featured a set photo with the directors and myself.
You can see the Smart Youtube channel and the 4 spots here:

Just wrapped a really quick and fun shoot at Six Flags, NJ. We shot with three Canon C300s, 2x Canon 30-105mm t2.8 zooms, and the Canon Cinema Primes. This was my first time seeing all of these lenses together and in a challenging backlight/flare situation. They all looked really great. The Canon 30-105mm is becoming one of my favorite lenses <3
Thanks to Craig DiBiase and the Minus L production team.
Cheers,
Matt
