It’s been awhile since I’ve had to buy any vmounts, but I ordered a couple new IDX micro 98s and these things are impressively small.

Cool shoot with Hydrate IV bar today. Tomorrow, looking forward to another cool shoot with another new client. Love working in our beautiful city with great people. Bring on the work.

The times they are a changing! It seems as though these days I'm getting a lot more people reaching out saying they found someone cheaper. On the contrary, I am also getting reached out to do a lot more pickup shoots because of major mistakes made in the field.

My rates have been the same for 10 years. You pay for what you get. I never want to lose clients over price, but that's the age we are in. Remember doing it twice is much more expensive than doing it right the first time. Let's make great TV.

07/31/2023

Got a notification that my license was expiring. Not anymore! Done and done. Let’s do some droning.

Another cool shoot for ITV this morning.

So fortunate to be working with A&E on a show in northern Colorado for a couple days. I love storytelling, true crime, documentaries, music videos. Hit me up if you want to create something great!!!

07/16/2023

As I sit here, editing a music video that I one man banded by myself. I realize. Storytelling is about the storyteller. Not the budget, or story. The crew, DP/team is an integral part of the process, intertwined with the edit, the story lies in the hands of the editor. I love following stories from fruition to completion. Please reach out if you want to tell an amazing story!

What’s next? Bring on the projects.
