Gear
I’ve got you covered with the latest and greatest equipment. Have a look below.
Okay, so It's never going to be all about the gear.
Specs look great on paper, but your video’s not going to shoot itself. However, in capable hands better gear yields better results. I’ve tested every piece of equipment that I can get my hands on and the following are the options that work for me.

Cinema Cameras + Lenses
RED Gemini 5k
I chose the Gemini thanks to state of the art color science and impeccable image quality. The increase in latitude is a huge asset for vfx photography while maintaining a clean, cinematic look. The Gemini offers dual ISO sensitivity at speeds up to 96 fps at Full Format 5K 1.7:1 and 150 fps at 4K 2.4:1.

red komodo 6k
The Komodo has quickly proven to be an excellent run and gun, doc-style camera, while holding its own on larger productions. It’s small, fast, light, great for travel, and a perfect compliment for the Gemini on 2-camera setups. The Komodo produces an incredibly clean image that’s even more stunning paired with Canon’s full frame speedbooster. This camera is ideal for handheld photography.
ZEISS MILVUS LENS SET WITH DUCLOS CINE-MOD
The name Zeiss is synonymous with precision. As with any Zeiss offering, the Milvus lens range is predictably superb, featuring tack sharp focus and a buttery soft bokeh that looks pristine on any cinema camera sensor. Our current lineup consists of the 25mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 100mm f/2 macro cine-modded Milvus lenses.

Bright Lights
Imaginitive lighting is the foundation of my work
APUTURE LS 600D PRO
The Aputure LS 600d Pro is a high output LED light that is bright enough to rival an HMI. This rugged, weather-resistant unit has quickly become an essential piece of my arsenal thanks to its versatility and low power consumption. The 600d can be paired with a soft box or fresnel attachment, making it an incredibly resourceful asset on set.
QUASARS & LED TUBES
I use various tube lights on my productions, including Quasar Rainbows and Crossfades, Astera Helios tubes, TEKE Pro tubes, and RAYZR Peragos tubes. I currently have 2-foot and 4-foot tubes, as well as battery-powered and RGB pixel versions. Tube lights are perfect for on-the-go setups, and there’s an option to meet every occasion.

LIGHTBRIDGE CRLS C-MOVE KIT
When it comes to cinematic lighting, I rely on diffused light sources to achieve a natural look. LightBridge is a reflective lighting system designed to recreate the aesthetic of natural light by using a series of diffused reflectors. The end result is a highly efficient transfer of light that is extremely directional while maintaining perfect color rendition of its source. The flat surface of each reflector allows me to fit pockets of light into otherwise unreachable positions.
tungsten lights
I have a wide range of DeSisti and Mole-Richardson tungsten fresnels, as well as Source Four Lekos. DeSisti lamps have long been our favorite option among tungsten units. These bad boys have an unblemished reflector element combined with spotless glass up front, providing crystal-clear light quality and an exaggerated spot-flood ratio.

Run-n-Gun LED Interview Kit
The Run-N-Gun LED kit, something that I built from scratch based on years of shooting interviews in a variety of conditions. The Litepanels Astra provides a powerful, yet energy-efficient key that is rounded out by battery-powered Aputure panels and a treasure trove of grip support. This package is housed in the sturdy-but-portable Pelican iM3075 Hard Case. Simple, convenient, and above all, quick.
