Carlos Sierra My team and I produced this recruitment film for free. We just wanted the practice and needed content for our business portfolio. I hope it gives some inspiration! Set the bar high!https://skytona.com/biddefordfire

Carlos... my guy... are they recruiting? pushing a PSA? hyping up community engagement? If you don’t know the mission, you’re just shooting in the dark.

When I worked with my local fire department, they needed a killer recruitment film, so I focused on storytelling, not just cool action shots. The result? A video that actually made people want to sign up.

Once you lock in the goal, everything else falls into place. Approach, style, deliverables (social cut? full-length?). Nail that down first, then go shoot something awesome.

We’ve got two Sigma 24-70 2.8s in our kit, and they’ve been delivering great results. At half the price of the Sony, the value is hard to ignore. Sure, Sony’s glass might be better overall, but the price difference just doesn’t make sense to me. That said, if you know you’ll be sticking with Sony for the long haul, I’d stick to the saying: “Marry the lenses, date the camera bodies.” Lenses hold their value much longer, making them a smarter long-term investment if taken care of.

I recently had the chance to work with Justin in Texas, and it completely changed my approach to capturing events. The importance of soundbites really clicked. I incorporated that into my latest film, and it’s poppin’ off here in Maine. I couldn’t be more proud. Huge thanks to Justin for showing me the way!

I thought about that.. I ordered this Anker Prime Charging doc that supplies 250W. Going to do some testing.

Hey everyone!

I’m considering investing in 8 VB99 V-Mount batteries. I’ll use 4 to power my cameras and 4 for my lights. I’ve been testing and calculating runtimes, and everything seems to check out. My goal is to simplify my power workflow.

For those of you with experience using VB99s or a similar setup, do you think this plan makes sense? Any potential issues I might be overlooking? I’d love to hear your thoughts or advice before making the purchase!

Thanks in advance!
