Everything was shot on the Sony A7S Mark 2 in 4K, handheld, and using the S-LOG3 Picture Profile. The lens is a Sigma ART 50mm 1.4 Nikon Mount with a Commlite adapter.

Pacific // An aerial and timelapse film of Cascadia
When I think of the wilderness, the Pacific Northwest is one of the first places that comes to mind. Drive 20 minutes from any city in the region and you’ll find yourself surrounded by ancient forest, rivers teeming with fish, and silence. A peace exists there in the wild that isn’t found in my home state of Texas.

Konova’s new Stability Arm is an incredibly useful, yet simple design. I’m amazed that no one thought of it until now.

While WELD’s coworking space motto is “Work Here. Sparks Fly.” I don’t think they had those kind of sparks in mind when Doug started dating Kelsi.

This wasn’t just a one day wedding, it was a four day event involving campfires, bagpipes, hiking, pizza parties, an Aggie Football game, and of course some amazing vows said on Sentinel Beach in the heart of the valley.

The Konova Master Pan has solved a problem that I didn’t even know I had until I used it. Oftentimes when I am filming a wedding, I only have a few minutes to film details like the wedding cake, rings, and other items from the day. This means that I’m rushing to setup my tripod, slider, and camera to get the shots I need. What Konova has made here is a way to make this process easier.
I still have to setup my slider, tripod, and camera, but when it comes to actually filming the shot, things become way easier than they were before. Konova has created an attachment to their slider that allows me to replicate a commonly used sliding and panning motion, nearly effortlessly. In one fell swoop (or should I say pan) I have replaced my tabletop dolly, and my handheld pans with my slider.
The Master Pan also works with Konova’s timelapse gear, meaning that I can now shoot panning timelapses, without having to mount their Smart Head to my slider. If you have a Master Pan, and are wanting to use it for filming timelapses, I recommend watching my Konova MS Series Setup and Review video. Please be aware that the Master Pan only works with the MS Series motors and belts, not with Konova’s prior models.
If you’re intrigued, I recommend watching my review video to see some of the shots I’ve taken with it, as well as my thoughts on the Master Pan. And if you already own one and are in the process of setting it up, I’ve included how to do that in the video as well.
