ceci n'est pas une sled

Big show tonight! First concert I ever did that had its own Gregg’s backstage! All you can eat sausage rolls at wrap. Best concert I ever worked! Nothing but love for lady Gaga

Operator in the sheets, gentleman in the streets 😎

It’s my birthday again! I feel like I went through this just last year but I guess you can all have a slice of cake if you want. Let’s party 🥳

That time I hung out of a plane attached to a dude with a parachute…the things I do for a cool shot 😰

Experimenting with my Vision Pro app (and the little hardware box that handles video and other stuff) and the Magellan 65mm camera. Obviously can only share this little test while we were screwing around but you get the idea hopefully 😃

The Magellan 65mm camera on the Level! Works fantastic, even with the humongous amount of offset weight that a film camera gives, there wasn’t even a single jitter or offlevel shot 🥳

Sometimes 35mm just feels too small. Why not try 65mm film instead? 😬

Look at this gorgeous bit of engineering. Super rare geared head, apparently only four in the world. Just a stunning bit of kit for my fellow camera gear heads to drool over 🤓

Quick test of my Vision Pro app, the HUD viewfinder is now in the center (which works really well) and the LiDAR map is now slightly angled to make it easier to detect obstacles around you. Works really well, quite chuffed with the progress here. Next step: virtual sets

Shooting in bloody Gotham City, Liverpool, innit mate

Probably the best camera crew shirt I’ve ever gotten. Still pissed I missed out on the Andor shirts but this is close enough 🥳

One of the most badass operator pictures I’ve ever seen. The legendary Jacques Monge, the most French guy to ever French. This is how a real man does 3D 😎

It is. Taken a few weeks ago

Our EXT. - NIGHT is bigger than yours 😎

Hey dude, wanna come chase cars at ridiculously high speeds with me? Get in!

Serenading the Steadicam, what song would you sing to it?

Finding this old pic of me reminded me of how big and cumbersome early digital film cameras were. I believe this was a Sony CineAlta with a Pro35 lens adapter, anyone who remembers those…you have my sympathies 🥺

Anyone remember the brief period we were all racing our Steadicams around on modified Segways? Those things were so much fun to race around on!

Remember to dress at the start of the day how you expect to look at the end of it. 😎

Happy international cat day friends! Hug your kitty and give them extra treats today

This Cain't it, chief

Here’s new bestie, Steadicam operator Zack Clevenger, trying out the alpha of my Operator Vision app. His glowing review: “it barely made me throw up”! I’d call that a win

A fresh can of Ruben always hits the spot

Is that why even this post was somehow labeled as "intolerance"? I had to click to view it! What kind of crappy moderation is this if it is this easy to manipulate?

A little throwback to an award show years back where I also got interviewed in the preshow. Being on live television in front of the camera is awful 😰

When the DP asks you what you think of their shot idea, don’t just sigh and say “I guess” 😰

Could still work, saw quite a few celebrities taking a fall on that very show!

Did tons of seasons of Dancing with the Stars and yet I never won a single vote. It’s bloody rigged!

Throwback to the debut of the G70 arm at an NAB in Vegas, where Garrett had to manhandle me because I couldn’t figure out where to stick the allen key, or comprehend to concept of “no tools” 😬
