Because there are few establishing shots that can compete with the one you get above 250 feet, I frequently take my shoots airborne. Whether it's yanking the doors off a Bell Ranger traditional style or the...ahem...new school way of sending an 8-bladed octo-copter to do the dirty work, if it's outdoors these days, aerial footage is, well, the new black. Neither option mentioned above is cheap, however. I've been paying thru the mega-schnoz...

Quick share here..... a short while back I took my very first trip to Belize for what turned into a really, really (2 reallys - or now that's three) high value, pain-free shoot. I've been so very lucky to have shot in some of the most spectacular places in the world -- and just added Belize to that list. We banged out a fun BTS vid to share some of the splendor, but...

It was a dream job in a lot of ways. For one, I got to literally photograph a re-creation of my dreams; for two, on jobs like that I get the opportunity to rub elbows with the best crew ---cinematographers,...
