Learning BLACKOUT LIGHTING CONSOLE is easily one of the best things I did for my film lighting career! It’s pretty insane how much power we get with an iPad nowadays!

The Pavoslim 360c is a total workhorse!

Here are some reasons why I went with a trailer over a van for my 2-ton G&E package!

That concludes these little trailer prep “vlogs.” Back to your regularly scheduled programming soon! 😆

I’m excited to get my Nanlite Global Pavoslim 360c back to continue putting it to use. Definitely one of my favorite fixtures right now! More content on that coming soon!

Anyone else have this same issue with their Nanlux Evoke 600c’s?

Have you ever seen this trick before?

You can use foil/mylar balloons filled with helium to block hard to reach overhead can lights!

When I’m in the cleaning mood, it’s honestly therapeutic cleaning out the trailer!

I’ve been a huge fan of the Godox Knowled Projection attachment! It’s a really great option that balances form factor, and optical quality!

26 years old today. Health insurance was overrated anyway! ✌️

I don’t often take a moment to look back and truly reflect on what I’ve accomplished so far. That 8 year-old Wisconsin boy holding a camcorder, with aspirations to work in the movie business someday, wouldn’t even be able to dream up my life today.

I’m super grateful for all of the friends I’ve made along the way, and to have such a supportive family and wife by my side! ❤️
