Camera/Steadicam operator, pretty picture lover, cat worshipper. I work on movies and series for a living and I work on my flight simulator skills on my own time 🤓
More experimenting with how the Level in low mode gently shifts the camera CG and how that affects top/bottom balance on the sled. Very interesting physics happening

Standicam operator for hire; the tripod that bleeds. Also gets in the way of actors trying to exit the frame

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

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 😎

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!

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 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 😰
