📣 How to Get Started! 🙌

Not sure if this one will resonate, but I've been in the creative field professionally since 2011. After 13 years of battling procrastination this is the one thing that helps me get started, especially on those more daunting larger projects.

🎬Make your initial aim, to create a bad first draft.

So often I find myself stopping or putting off a project, especially writing or editing, because I'm considering how people will view and feel about every single key stroke I make.
This is a terrible way to be creative.

✨The best way to push this kind of thinking to the side is to make something that no one will see - a first draft.

This allows you to make quicker decisions, take more creative risks and stay on track without inviting in distractions.

The best part is, you can be the critic of your own work - but not until tomorrow, after the draft is complete.

Tomorrow is where you will fix all of the imperfections in the draft you're making.

Today is for putting in the hard work and getting the thing off the ground!

It's truly amazing where a single simple idea can take you. Don't give up.

Let me know if you have a similar trick to help get you started! 😅🎉

📣 32-bit Float Audio 🔊

This one's for the audio nerds! 😅🙌

Why should you care about 32bit float audio?
Short answer is it provides gigantic dynamic range, which makes clipped audio basically a thing of the past.

24 bit fixed point audio gives a dynamic range of 144.5dB, compared to the 1,528dB of 32bit float. (This is insane!)

This basically means you can record both quiet and loud sounds without worrying about adjusting gain for those louder sounds that may or may not be unexpected.

Have you tried out 32bit float before?

🎬 Frames from a recent commercial we shot for Panasonic's new Rice Cookers. ✨

The idea was to show that the functions of this rice cooker far exceed just cooking rice and so having our talent swipe the uncooked rice to the side and start cutting fresh food was a great way to start.

This was a really fun project to put together and we should have some BTS and breakdowns coming soon.

Thanks to the super hard working team! 🙌

📸 Don't film with the sun directly in your actors face! ☀️

Using the sun as a backlight will generally give you a more flattering even light across the face, while also providing a strong edge light.

You will see this used in a lot of productions, both film and photo.

You can use a bounce board to even out the light and help match exposure between the background and your subject, who will now be in comparative shadow. 💡

🎬Why use a slider?👀

✅Repeatable motion. This is by far our favourite reason, as it makes for super fun edits as well as being able to remove things from a moving shot.

✅Second shooter.
Sliders always make for excellent B or C cams, especially for interview setups, but even for BTS shots. It adds great and easy production value to an edit.

✅Cueing motion and speed ramping. Sliders are an excellent way to follow along a motion or help a movement fit into a scene. You may have used a dolly for this before, but sliders are a compact and quick way to get this happening.

This TopRig slider from Accsoon has been a fantastic asset to our sets. This one even operates vertically!
Do you use sliders?

🎥 Shutter Angle! 🎬

As a general rule of thumb, filmmakers will tell you that 180° is good for optimal motion blur that mimics human sight. This will mean your still frames from a shoot will have motion blur in them, but as a video it will look natural.

This doesn't work for everything though.
A great example of when to stray from this is when we shoot product shots and we want super sharp images and possible still shots from them.
In this case we go down to 90° which provides sharp images and less motion blur.

Does your camera allow you to use shutter angle?
If not, 180° is equal to double your frame rate. Ie- 25fps = 1/50 SS.

Shout out to for Synchro Scan, saving us on multiple sets with prac in house LEDs!

💡 Why use Panel Lights? 🎥

Panel lights have become super popular and for good reason.
These PavoSlim's from Nanlite Australia are super thin, lightweight and nice and quick to put up.

As well as being full colour with a great effects library, they serve as a fantastic solution to a lot of creative and technical filming demands.

🎬 This commercial we shot in a bathroom is a perfect example of what makes these lights so good. 🔥

If you're a filmmaker that's been looking for an excellent and versatile light to add to your shoots, definitely look into the PavoSlim's from Nanlite! 🎉

☀️Photos and Videos look better at golden hour.📸

You've probably heard this before, but why do so many people have this opinion and what actually is golden hour?

In short, a change of colour due to the light travelling through more atmosphere, scattering more of the blue light wave lengths leaving the orange and yellow.
But also angle and softness! Do you like filming at golden hour?
