Hey gang, one of my friends at Lifetime was the Creative Director on this spot: https://vimeo.com/201898311 He flew to LA, and had a team there shoot this - on Helium. Thought you guys would want to see! I know there isn't a ton of Helium content out there. best

Hey gang, looks like the 1.8" mag trade in program (for 512 mini-mags), is no longer available: Got this response from my Bomb Rep today: To paraphrase, Jarred has always made clear "all good things must pass"....so it appears (at long last) this wonderful and generous program has come to a...

Hey guys, here's a recent shoot we did, all outdoors, all natural light. Indie budget. It doesn't get talked about a lot, but I do think RED (esp when paired with vintage glass) can render very beautiful, natural organic looking footage...within a doc environment. We shot this for a campaign I...

Hey guys, very proud to present this digital campaign we created for A&E, to promote their hit docu-series "60 DAYS IN". To our utter surprise, this series went VIRAL on Facebook, and got over 14 MILLION VIEWS!!! Shot on two Epic Dragons at 6K, in our studio. Lenses were Contax primes, as...

Hey guys, wanted to share this incredibly moving campaign - the best use of the footage from our shoot this summer. All of these character spots were shot on Louis Maddalena's Carbon Weapon - with Skintone OLPF pushed to 1600 ISO! Lenses were RP Modded Contax 85 1.4 (at f2) and 180 2.8 (wide...

Looking for older Kipper Tie DSMC1 OLPFS. PM if you have any looking to sell. thx

Hey guys, my team is considering investing in new V-Mount bricks. A set that works flawlessly with Weapon/DSMC2, and is also very practical to use/charge/swap. We're Looking for ONE brand that provides both travel options (ie under 100), and also large Studio Sizes (over 200). I've created a...

Hey guys, here's a recent campaign we did for LMN! We had such a blast on these spots. Shot on 3 Epic Dragons, with our mixture of vintage glass - Modded Contax Primes, and EOS modded old Standard Primes (a 24mm handheld in this case). Dailies graded by the one and only Jake Blackstone! Hope...

Here are two jobs I'd love to share, that were shot a little while back. Both shot on Epic Dragons + Contax glass. KY BRANDED SPOT - for Logo Network The first is this KY Spot, that we shot for Alkemy-X, an agency here in NYC (this is a branded spot for LOGO). https://vimeo.com/174416755...

Hey gang, here's a shoot we did a couple of months ago! Shot on Carbon Weapon @ 6K...on SKINTONE OLPF at 1280 and 1600. With a Contax 85mm MMJ 1.4 (at f2). I was blown away by how CLEAN Weapon was, even on Skintone! https://vimeo.com/172531802 And these guys were lit with just ONE Tungsten...

Hey guys, here's some recent work we've shot over past 5 months! We've been shooting A LOT - almost every week - and quitting my job and focusing on Small Giant has def been a great decision! This is just a small sample of our work this year, but there are some fun ones. All shot on Epic...

Hey guys, as you may have noticed...the Contax Survival Guide is not "updating" or "displaying" new posts. Which is why the conversation appears to have gone quiet past month. It appears "stuck" at 361 pages of comments/feedback. No other posts become visible - no matter how hard we've tried...

Here's a little known, custom piece of gear we've been using for over a year...from SCHNEIDER. A custom, 80mm Clamp on Shade, with a 77mm thread. Total cost is under $300, and we use it ALL THE TIME. If you have a lot of 77mm screw in filtration (like we do), then this def comes in handy for...

Hey guys, very proud to announce...I was nominated for a Promax Award!!! These are like the Oscars for Promos, so it's a really big deal. Most networks only have a couple of spots nominated each year, so having my spot picked...was HUGE!! Here's the cut - an out of the box teaser for VIKINGS...

I made this list of format sizes for personal use a couple of months ago, and realized it may be useful to share with the community. I think it's fascinating to have different format sizes in one place - from 8mm to IMAX - and then quickly see how different RED Dragon formats scale and fit...

I'd like to broadcast something that occurred to me on another thread. We all know that 4K PRORES is only possible on a Carbon Fibre Weapon. But...how about 4K Quicktimes using DNxHR? The codec has has LOTS of options/flavors for UHD. These range from massive 444 bitrates of 166.61 MB/S...

We watched the pilot today and loved it. I was convinced it was shot on Dragons...and it was! http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/news/shoot/sublime-and-ridiculous-hilariously-depicting-dashed-dreams-baskets/612653 Loved that they used a Movi and lots of filtration too. Very cool.
