Flying Cameras On a Budget — My First Flight With Affordable Drone Helicopter + GoPro

chasejarvis_dronefly
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... read more ›

Commitment to Creativity — Dreamland with Bob Burnquist is Some Next Level Shit

Let’s Have Dinner & Talk About Death [Kickstarter of the Week]

I didn't talk about it much, but over the past month I lost two close family members in 48 hours. My grandmother passed away on Mother's Day and my wife Kate's grandmother passed away 2 days later.

More importantly, I've had a real chance... read more ›
