Hey guys,
I'm new to this blog- just found it this morning. But I'm not new to the industry. I'm a working DP here in Louisiana since 1979. Yep, still working, I have not fully retired but I have slowed down a bit.
As you might guess, I've been around and I've shot hundreds of commercials, music videos and a dozen features , on 35mm... love film... and now I'm shooting in digital (bitter/sweet).
I also owned a 40 ft. Tractor trailer lighting and grip rig for years, but sold it in the mid 90's.
I've down scaled to a 3 ton grip/lighting truck, and that's how I operate today.
About 5 years ago, I started specializing in food, action food... with effects, because I enjoy that style work, plus it's really refreshing to work with much smaller crews and scale.
I'm big on in camera effects. I have a shop, and I build all my machnical devices and rigs... I enjoy that the most... the challenge.
Sorry for the long spill. I look forward to talking with the Community- sharing my experiences and learning from others.
