Joseph Hutson - "CHECKMATE" - Los Angeles

In your sample video, did you pull focus yourself, did someone else pull it, or did you let the Epic do the job?

I racked a manual focus myself.

Good on ya Joseph. You deserve it all. I saw how much you helped the kids at Red Camp and how much they looked up to you.

Enjoy.

josephs video really shows the epic gate flare

Definitely jealous Joseph! I can't even afford a 5D! Lol.

So this means you have special rental rates for Scarleteers right? ;)

Last night I shot for 5 hours (until both bricks died), around Hollywood Boulevard with fellow Reduser, Mike Hedge. We were shooting some stuff on a 70-300mm and IS on. The stuff seriously looks like it was a tripod mounted shot! We got tons of great stuff. Corvette, Helicopter, El Capitan/Chinese/Kodak Theater exterior shots, tons of people, police car, fire engine, Ambulances, etc. :) I can't wait to cut it and share with the community.

Thanks to Mike, I'll be shooting on a whole arsenal of different Canon lenses this week. He's definitely a great guy to work with...and I'd say that whether I was using his lenses or not. :)

Needless to say, I'll be most busy this week preparing stuff to share with you all.

I remember meeting you at Red Day 2010, full of energy, passion, and ambition. You've made leaps and bounds in your journey, and a well deserved Epic-M. If you find yourself in the DC area again, you'll always have a place to stay.
Looking forward to seeing great things coming from you and your new M. A big congrats Joseph!

Fantastic news!... Hope that will be the case with the Nikon mount as well.

[Chris Hagan]

Is there a person you didn't meet at Red Day 2010? I too remember meeting you. Congrats on the M. There's no doubt she's in good hands. I look forward to seeing what you make with it.

[Justin Kirchhoff]

Congrats, Joseph. Your story reminds me a lot about myself when I was working hard to get my R1 4 years ago. It's amazing how people want to help someone who has so much passion. They really believe in you, so congratulations and kick ass on shooting EPIC footage!

[Joseph Hutson]

About time :)))))

Go make Gold now young Joseph.

Looking forward in seeing your work.

Thanks Mark! I love your work. I'm proud/humbled at the same time to be an EPIC-M Owner. :)
