I'm really pumped to link to the video I shot for Crye Precision

It's on their front page. Shot by me on my Red Epic.

looks great, very nice shots!

34 seconds of black and texts at the beginning is too long imo.

great photography

Thanks! While I technically did the edit, the client made all timing/text decisions.
My job was to get the pretty pictures.
I appreciate the comment, too many reduser lurkers these days.

Shawn, agreed, fantastic work. While I know you became the director's hands for the edit, and not necessarily your specific edit choices...I think the project came out great.

Congrats again.

Awesome work, Shawn! As always.

Was it entirely done on your RPPs? What was your lighting set up like?

Thanks Rob! Entirely done with my RPPs and Red 300mm. Because I was traveling, only took the 25mm, 50mm and 85mm with me.

Lighting setups - the interior prep shots (silencer, nods, helmet) were top lighted with a Kino 4bank with only 2 lamps on and a half green gel. The C-130 interiors were assisted with a large vmount battery powered LED gelled to get close to the natural lights of the C-130. The exterior door breach stuff was powered with about 2,000w of tungsten plus a Litepanel (completely shocked there was no flicker at 300fps, need more testing to understand why). We used an Antique Suede #2 on the exterior C-130 stuff.
