Q Tips & Updates

SteadiCam

June 29, 2017
Long overdue update, but I promise it's a good and short one.
A week ago, I just bought my first SteadiCam system. I've done the workshops and now it's time to practice with my very own Zephyr system!

Already, I have 2 small jobs lined up!!
Better get great quick and start putting my reel together.

Still working on my own films, but it's a super slow process. My editing job has been taking a lot of time, as has my 1st AC gigs. Certainly not complaining, but I need to find the right balance to be able to work on my own things.

On to practice!
