I took a trip down to San Francisco to learn more about studio lighting.

I spent three days at Pixel Corps which shares a space with Twit.

If you haven’t noticed I typically use natural light as my main source. This workshop was great because I only worked with artificial light. I learned how to understand and control light temperature. Not only did we work with light we recognized shadows. Over all this class made me comfortable working on a set.

We also talked about the latest gear. Here I am with the Red Rock Micro shoulder rig.

Oh and I shot with the RED EPIC…No Big DEAL

After the workshop I picked up a job at Sales Force.

I covered an interview and created a few videos. This one was for their newsletter. I hope to continue working with them as I would like to spend more time in the Bay Area.

The next day Pixel Corps invited me to shoot a employee showcase video at the Quintessa Winery. It felt great to apply all my new knowledge on these two shoots.
Here we set up a motorized slider and captured a timelapse over two hours.
I will try to get ahold of the footage.

Then we set up a c-stand tripod way up high in a tree for another timelapse of the workers picking.
