Storytelling is described as an art … the “art” of storytelling. And like art — it requires creativity, vision, skill, and practice. Storytelling isn't something you can grasp in one sitting, after one course. It's a trial-and-error process of mastery.

Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 3 LAB
is the newest toy I got my hands on recently. CRANE 3 Lab is the latest addition in the crane series of gimbals, and this stabilizer is a beast!!! 🤯 takes gimbal design in a different direction with the addition of a handle on top. With an included mini tripod attached on the bottom and this fixed, ergonomic handle on top, the CRANE 3 LAB can be used two-handed for optimal stability. Moreover, the handle enables you to seamlessly switch to underslung mode, whether with one or two hands, and achieve creative shots. Can’t wait to pair it with the Lumix GH5s!!! 🤗

A short documentary featuring Tania Guzmán, a Mexican-Canadian painter born in Toronto. Her work has been influenced by her life in Oaxaca and Merida, Mexico as well as her time living in Saudi Arabia. These diverse countries have influenced Guzmán’s creative processes and her aesthetic approach. This documentary gives the audience a behind the scenes personal look into her life, her journey, and the creative process behind her art. Tania Guzmán's works are generally large thought provoking abstracts, sometimes brilliantly colourful and inspirational, other times ominous. Some pieces are airy and calm that sooth and relax, others dense post-apocalyptic landscapes with numerous hidden microcosms only revealing themselves after intense scrutiny. They have a subtle complexity that can reward observation with new discovery of landscapes, stories, and creatures.
