That is a great question. So I pull focus with the DJI Advanced ring grip. I was also shooting at F4 with the 24-105.I didn't have to adjust much because everything at 24 seemed in focus. 

My best advice for getting comfortable with manual focus in a scenario like that would be using a wide angle lens since you'd be moving pretty fast. I prefer a zoom lens for sure. You need the range with this style becuase you never know when or how something will happen. There's very little downtime to swap lenses.

I've been asked quite a few times recently what are the right questions to ask when interviewing couples. So I decided to make a quick video regarding my thought process when it comes to this. Feel free to ask any questions under the video. Enjoy!

I apologize for the delay but we finally got last week's group mentor session posted for anyone that missed it. We had a great discussion last week and I've realized the importance of keeping this content archived in the academy for everyone to watch and rewatch if needed!

We are still working on getting the Live Workshop "Creating Your Shot List" uploaded and it should be up tomorrow. Can't wait to see y'all on tomorrow night's live workshop. Get ready for Part 2 of Film Trailers, "Creating the Edit"!🤩

Hey Isara, So I have looked everywhere and I can't find/remember what song I used. I know it came from musicbed but I don't recall the actual song sadly. :(

YO! Sorry I missed this.

I have a very lengthy response to this. In short, the Hartford has been the company I've used for insurance since the beginning. I have a 2 million dollar general liability policy and I also have select coverage on all my production gear that's covered against lost, theft. I also have "profit loss" in the event that the gear that was lost or stolen causes me to lose work. My policy also has several clauses for data corruption/recovery. I have a horror story where I lost 9 terabytes do to file path corruption and my insurance paid out almost 11K to recover data. They also reimbursed me for all the couples I had to refund for losing the data.

I want to make this a topic for a group session.
