Hi, I’m John and I’ve been documenting my entire life with my Sony cameras and phone. Ever since I was a kid playing with toys, I started learning how to direct, world build, and work a camera.

I can’t fully explain why I felt compelled to capture my life but I can say this - I want to share stories and life lessons I’ve learned along the way, while staying true to myself as an artist and protecting my inner child.

That kid who played with toys is still the one calling the shots today. The more we stay in touch with our inner child, the more we become aligned with ourselves.

Cameras used:
@sonycine FX3 & Sony HDR-FX1
@gopro
@apple iPhone 4s-iPhone 15 Pro Max
@djiglobal Air 2S
@canonusa 7D

Edited in @davinciresolvestudios and many scenes were color graded with CineDream by @colorgrading by @johnmaglica

I just bought a Moment case for my iPhone 18 Pro Max. Once I put it on the phone I felt inspired to create a video showcasing how nice it looks and what it is capable of when you pair it with a lens! This whole video was filmed with an iPhone. Hope you guys enjoy 😄🤘 If you have any questions please feel free to ask below!

Everything was filmed on the iPhone using the @momentprocamera

GoPro finally did it! 😮🎥🔥 Many people in the community and consumers have mixed feelings about the GoPro ILS system and and I kinda get it. This GoPro was not meant for everybody. Realistically, I don’t even think it was really made with consumers in mind but more so for professionals in the field. The specs in this camera and for the price, you really get something special, like the 960 frames per second for example! Hope you guys enjoy this unboxing and the slow motion captures 🎥😄🤙

Camera used: @gopro ILS
Lens: MFT - @rokinon 12mm & 85mm 1.4

Color Grading is one of the most powerful things you can do to really transform your footage. 🎨🎥

Which one is your favorite?

Yosemite is one of the those places where I can go every year and never get tired of it. Every time I go there’s always something new to capture and discover 🎥😄 Have you guys been before? If not, where’s your favorite place to go?

(I’ll add descriptions below for each slide)

Just before Kas and I almost got to Vernal Falls they sadly JUST closed it down for 3 hours. So we hiked back down and thought - what a bummer, since it was our last day… but luckily it worked out for the better because we ran into a herd of deer and it was magical 😌📸

I’ve been to Yosemite many times but never got to see people do this before. It was really cool to document this moment. These people were daring! 😮

I was very impressed with how well the Sony FX3 was able to capture the Milky Way!

All the lights you see in the distance are actually climbers! It was so cool so witness. In the next slide I tried zooming onto them.

I was able to zoom in on these night climbers with headlamps. Shot on a Sony FX3 while using a @tamronamericas 70-300mm

Later that night I wanted to test out my Maglite next to tunnel view. Worked out pretty well if you ask me 😏🔦

Views from Taft Point 🎥🥳 The sunset was stunning.

And the colors of the sky behind us was chefs kith 😌

This lighting change happened within minutes! Swipe to see 🎥

I’ve never had my hands shake like that before after I realized my drone wouldn’t make it back in time, especially being 9,000 feet away deep in the desert! 😳 Luckily I locked in, moved my drone camera to see where I could emergency land with 5% battery left and found a flat sandy spot I was able to drive too. 😂 Was it worth it in the end? Let me know what shot you liked most!

Highly recommend because it makes grading so freaking easy while providing you with stunning colors/visuals! 🔥📸🎨

Huge shoutout to my father-in-law for being down to spontaneously film an idea I had. 📸🙏 He NAILED it!

Camera: Sony FX3 (Filmed in LOG)

The video took a total of 2 minutes to film, however, the time to edit was a whole other story… 😂

Currently in Yuma, AZ visiting family and there’s this really delicious cheesecake place called @teezysculinarycreations , I highly recommend checking them out!

I thought it would be fun to make a video, challenging myself to only use the Sony FX3 paired with one of my absolute favorite lenses that I never leave the house without, which is my @moment macro lens while filming on the iPhone 15 Pro Max using their @momentprocamera filming app as well (since it records in Log, has customizable bitrates, and many other manual features 🔥) by @johnmaglica
