Damn Sexy Camera Movement: Hands on with MoVI Pro Gimbal

Cinema / video camera innovation over the last few years has largely centered around moving the camera. From jibs, to sliders, to drones and gimbals -- all with the aim to give us tools to get unique and interesting shots. Flashback 10 years ago, when I was working on campaigns with REI, Nikon, etc .... I'd call up my friend Tabb who was a drone geek tinkering in his basement working to combine his two passions... read more ›

Drone Photography? How About Drone SURFING Instead

I've always loved drones. Been flying them and using them in photo + film projects before the term "drone" was used to describe the thing... way back in fact when my friend Tabb Firschau built them from scratch just to fly his (and my) cameras around. Here's some shots, and here's a few others. Sort of sophomoric work on my part (5-10 years ago) relative to what's happening now, but cool nonetheless given the time... read more ›

As I establish in that test flight post, the footage you yield from the DJI Phantom + GoPro combo may not be pro quality, but it's perfectly... read more ›

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 ›

As the Drone Flies: Compelling Art Inspired by Unmanned Aviation Vehicles

Just how history will judge our country's use of drones in the "War on Terror" is not for me to decide. I'm not going to to wax political or to publicize in which direction my moral compass points. What I can do is show you how this powerful machine of war is being seen by a handful of artists around the world. Through these representations we find... read more ›
