Just wrapped on Last Night’s Stranger — a shor Just wrapped on Last Night’s Stranger — a short film shot with a great team shot in an incredible cabin that gave us textures, tones, and atmosphere for days We leaned into those layers with the DZO Arles lenses for the main narrative, then shifted into Atlas anamorphic glass for the flashbacks, giving the memories a look that stands out in the film. Great weekend with great people!  @reddigitalcinema @dzofilm @atlaslensco

One year with the Atlas Mercury Anamorphic lenses, One year with the Atlas Mercury Anamorphic lenses, and they’ve been an arrow in the quiver across a wide range of projects. To mark the anniversary, I’m releasing something that’s been in the vault since day one of owning the glass.  Run The Grid, unreleased running documentary that was filmed entirely on the Atlas Mercury Anamorphics and the RED Komodo X, pushing the lenses in a low-light environment to see how the look and going for intentional flares. Their versatility has continued to impress me ever since, and I’m looking forward to creating with them for years to come.

This spot for Alpha Gear is a tribute to the ones This spot for Alpha Gear is a tribute to the ones who know that time doesn’t wait—so neither do they.

Pushed by purpose. Shot with intention.
This shoot was wild as we raced the light through flash floods, and the bike gave out before the story did. But the grind doesn’t stop—and neither did we. Shot out to a small but mighty team that made this project happen!

New camera work ‼️🎥
Here’s a look at so New camera work ‼️🎥
Here’s a look at some BTS moments and a few of my favorite frames from an incredible project with Director @shanivarner and DP @dpbari From the moment I read the treatment, I knew this one was going to be something special.
This shoot also marked the first time my full set of @atlaslensco Mercury Anamorphic’s went out on a project—ran them on a Sony Venice for the studio setups, then paired them with my RED Komodo X and Movi Pro for the exteriors and rolling shots.

Shani absolutely crushed it Directing, and Bari brought serious heat as DP. Grateful to have been a part of it as Camera &  Movi Op. and Second Unit DP 🙏

🎬✨ Come behind the scenes on this quick music 🎬✨ Come behind the scenes on this quick music video shoot! Fast setups, clean shots, and a small but killer team…. Kept the setup light and nimble, rolling on my RED Komodo X @reddigitalcinema  with DZO Pictor Zooms @dzofilm for that fast-moving/efficient workflow. The rest of the setup utilized the @djiglobal focus pro and @zacuto cage and handles 

Huge shoutout to the rockstar crew who made it happen! 🎥🔥 Stay tuned for the final video!
