Arguably the craziest of all the excursions offered during the @taucktravel Seine riverboat project is Claude Monet’s garden. For those unaware, Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny, the site and subject of many of his famous paintings, are preserved as a museum. The line for entry to the public can often balloon to hundreds of visitors and over an hour of wait due to the small size of the property. As part of the cruise, all the passengers get exclusive access to the garden an hour prior to the general public, and we did our best to make the most of it. An unforgettable moment with the team from @travelandleisure. You can watch the full episode on @youTube and @netflix!

So happy to be able to share some more moments from our shoot in France a few months ago, a riverboat tour down the Seine from Normandy to Paris for @travelandleisure. With the support of the wonderful crew at @taucktravel we we had essentially unrestricted access to the ship and excursions during the voyage, and I’m incredibly proud of the images we were able to capture along the way. You can watch the full episode on @youTube and @netflix!

Earlier this summer, a mere week prior to Paris hitting an insane heat wave of 44 degrees Celsius (111 Fahrenheit for those playing at home), we had the incredible opportunity to film a riverboat tour down the Seine from Normandy to Paris for @travelandleisure. With the support of the wonderful crew at @taucktravel we we had essentially unrestricted access to the ship and excursions during the voyage, and I’m incredibly proud of the images we were able to capture along the way. You can watch the full episode on @youTube and @netflix!

Saving the world with our Gipsy Danger figure from @infinitystudiocn. Standing at 12.6 in (32cm) this model features over 120 points of articulation including multiple hand and weapon configurations to take on any Kaiju threat along with built-in LEDs and a motorized rotating core. Gipsy is the 3rd figure in the line from @gdtreal’s award winning @pacificrimmovie and was preceded by Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon collectibles which are already fighting to close The Breach. Reinforcements are on the way with the 4th addition to the set, the upcoming Striker Eureka, available for pre-order now.

This promo was captured exclusively with our new @pixboomtech Spark at 1,000fps in full 4K resolution with our newly rehoused Canon FD lenses from our friends at @illuvision.co . Smoke effects courtesy of our @pmi_gear Smoke Genie and high speed flicker free lighting from our @litepanels Geminis and @asteraofficial Titans. Quick moves courtesy of our @kesslercrane Cineslider and good old fashioned elbow grease. A huge thanks to all our partners whose incredible gear made this shoot possible!

The opposite of traveling light… landing on set with a full @motorizedprecision Colossus robot kit for a recent shoot for our friends at @artandcommerce. Most of instagram is a highlight reel, but it’s always fun to peek behind the scenes and see what goes into a big production. Believe it or not, this is the most compact this kit has ever been, as we’ve been taking the time to condense and optimize all the individual components to make setting up as fast and efficient as possible. Now if only we had an inside track on a teleporter…

Had a blast remote operating our @freeflysystems MōVi Pro for DP @robby_sabi on several awesome grip rigs courtesy of @ragtag.grip including a Mitchell adapted ice skating speedrail dolly and an overhead cable cam pipe rig for the ‘NHL - Puck Rush’ for @nhl & @nexplayground.

Some of the edits go by quick so let me know if you want a better look at any of the rigs and we can try and hunt down some longer dailies and do some full length splitscreens! (Also shoutout to our @backpack_rig #StayPuffed kit for keeping us powered up without a battery swap)

Behind the scenes where tech meets creativity. 🌿🎥

Robot arms are honestly amazing for getting cameras into really detailed sets like this. We needed a shot that travels up this river of light and lands on the spirits at the head of the table. The Colossus made it so much easier than we thought it would be.

There are few things crazier than finding out about an awards ceremony because your work won awards at said ceremony. Named for @campaignsandelections founder Stanley Foster Reed, The Reed Awards embody excellence in political campaigning and grassroots & advocacy. Every year the Reeds recognize the most exceptional work in campaigning from the preceding year.

Middle Seat took home the awards for “Best TV Ad - :60 - Democratic” and “Best TV Ad - IE Campaign - Mayoral” for the projects we collaborated on this past year for @womensmarch and Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor respectively along with 4 more honors in other categories.

Thanks to @hgsigala and @bill.neidhardt for letting us take big swings on both of these shoots and my talented producers @zfleming and @thisismattcampbell for all their hard work getting us over the finish line. Shout out to our incredible cast and crew on both spots, and hope to get the chance to do it all again soon!
