Season 3 of the comedy series TIRES (starring Shane Gillis ) has officially rolled onto @netflix this week - and during its filming @rodicalfilmgear had a pre-release version of Rodical 15mm rods field-tested on the production's camera rigs.

Rodical is thrilled to have had the camera crew test drive this custom kit of concept and color.

Filmed in Rodical'’s backyard of the Greater Philadelphia Area, TIRES brought together a largely local crew of Philly film industry pros. Leaning into that “Industry” word, Rodical outfitted A and B cameras with two custom Rodical 15mm camera rod designs inspired by the show’s industrial, garage aesthetic.

CAM B's Rodical blue diamond-plate theme, that we're calling "Cutting Room Floor", was an especially fun one to design. Cutting Room Floor and a variety of other design themes will be available upon official website launch of Custom Film Gear!

Built for the camera team. Styled on the shop floor. Field-tested on set. Check out TIRES Season 3 on Netflix now! Congrats to the crew.

Feeling a lot of gratitude to get to spend my days creating weird wonderful worlds with insanely talented and hardworking people who’ve brought so much joy to my life when I truly, deeply, needed it

So much love to this cast and crew, thank you for all your sweat (heatwaves, no AC Victorian homes) grit (hello Reading, PA!) artistry, heart and all the care put into your craft

As we wrap this one up, I’m already sorely missing you all ❤️

Always an amazing opportunity to work with @malixmedia for another @pondlehocky commercial.

I hand laid this large handle bar mustache for the villainous lawyer mixing different blends of crepe wool hair to color match and using @mehronmakeup crepe wool. Proud of this and especially in a time crunch.

Hair and makeup by me
And absolutely enjoy working with this team!
