chasejarvis_Aspen_photoshoot
Snow cats. Flying cameras and world-class athletes.  Couple-o-sunrises. One of the most unique locations I've found in my career (a coal mine?!) and a superfun campaign for one of the top mountain destinations in the world...here's behind the scenes for my most recent campaign to drop --> Aspen. This past March, you might have caught wind of my live updates while shooting the 2013-2014 campaign for my friends at Aspen/Snowmass ski resort. In... read more ›

GoPro Hero3+ is the Fairest of Them All

GoPro's Hero3+ dropped like a bomb today, splitting atoms and shattering computer screens with some of the most bad-ass footage yet seen. The new Hero3+ is GoPro's sexiest iteration to date, with some notable improvements over its predecessor. Lest you Hero2 or Hero3 owners think this money ill-spent, consider these upgraded features that you'll get with the Hero3+: _20% lighter + smaller (case) _30% more battery life _4x faster WiFi (built-in) _Auto Low... 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 ›

chasejarvis TECH: How to Pack, Prep & Travel with GoPro Cameras (<---bonus, also works for almost camera system)

I've been shooting religiously with GoPro cameras since they came out way back in the day. Love those little monsters.

BUT.... taking into account mounts, memory cards, chargers, spare batteries and all miscellany associated with the GoPro and you've got yourself quite a load of... read more ›

Super Camera — Arri Alexa is the Pro’s Best Friend [plus how I shot the Samsung video ]

You may recall a few weeks back I released a video of the behind-the-scenes action for a cool gig I was asked to create for Samsung around their Series 9 Color Premium monitors. 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,... read more ›

Dream Job — Color Cannons, Flying High & Turning Dreams Into Photographs for Samsung

A NO BRAINER. When someone comes to you and asks you if you'd like to create a photograph of your most vivid dream on their dime -- let's be clear on this one -- you say YES. Such was the case with Samsung and their creative agency Possible several weeks back. I got one of "those cool phone calls" where all your hard work comes into focus just for a second.

5 Things GoPro Nailed with the Hero3 and Why You Need To Care (NOW)

GoPro Dive Housing Comparison
Hey friends - want to take a second to re-introduce Erik, my on-staff video guru. He's been with us for a few years now and, as a film school grad and long time commercial shooter, his opinions are a great asset to my own. One thing we've both agreed to lately? That GoPro is an amazing company and--it's becoming increasingly clear--they really understand what their consumers want. So I'm kicking this one to E-rock (affectionate... read more ›
