Case and Point

So I was going through some old equipment at Celebration Church where I work and came accross some old Pelican cases that weren't being used. I was needing a case for my new rig and wanted to see if the 1650 would fit my camera...and sure enough it did. Fortunetely my boss was nice enough to sell the case to me.

So far, I'm loving the case. It is very sturdy and even has wheels and a handle for easy mobility. It's so much better then the Rubbermaid bin I used to lug my old rig around in. Remember, if you spend thousands on a rig, be willing to spend hundreds to keep it in good condition.

Seeing It Built

Over a year ago I put a video on YouTube that I shot really quickly while I built my jib. Little did I know that it would become my most popular video, which to date has reached nearly 100,000 hits.

It's always encouraging to get emails and messages from people thanking me for the video and telling me how it helped them design there own jibs.

Here's a video that was sent to me by YouTube user korg01w. He did a fantastic job and his jib turned out a lot more professional then my original design.



Keep up the great work guys and keep sending me links to your designs. Feel free to email me pictures and I'll throw them on the blog too.

Big News...

Although most of my posts are regarding video, photography, or graphics, I thought I'd take a moment and update my followers on some big news for myself.

My girlfriend, Rebecca and I are now engaged! I proposed on April 11th when we were up at her folks cottage.

She'll be a big part of Next Wave Graphics and Creative Edge Productions since she is a photographer and graphic designer. She also helps me with setting up my video gear and helping to assistant direct many of my shoots.

There will be many more photos of the both of us in the future, but I hope you will all welcome her warmly :)
