I have to agree with his simple and straightforward comments- that’s why I bought my D600 instead of a D800 despite being able to afford the more expensive body. That savings was put into lighting, grip and other areas of production.

I also enjoy using slow motion as depicted here, but I usually do it in post (Premiere Pro/After Effects) rather than at capture.
I included several programs from the Adobe Master Collection CS6- my core software along with Lightroom for video and still imaging file storage and manipulation.
Also added was Nikon Camera Control Pro 2, which I recommend to Nikonians who want to be able to tether their captures. It supports stills and video.

This is the link to my recent YouTube video about Organizing for Action (OFA), and its efforts regarding Climate Change in southern CA (May 2013).
I ‘m beginning preliminary work to direct and create a collaborative documentary about the Los Angeles Chapter- its members, why they belong to the Movement, and their journeys as they help to achieve its goals whether regionally or otherwise.
If you are interested in helping me with this project, please contact me and tell me something of your experience with one or more elements which may be needed for such a team. These include writing, research, IT/social media, translators, grips, audio, video, still shooters, musicians, assistant editor/s; this list is not all-inclusive, and if you believe that there’s something else you might wish to contribute I’d like to hear about it.
I would prefer to have team members who have at least a working knowledge of the subject categories listed, but there may be an opportunity for me to train some of those interested if time and other factors allow. It would be helpful if you could share with me what equipment or particular skills you might bring to bear on the project such as cameras, lenses, microphones, musical instruments, or languages spoken.
In addition to this site, I can be reached by cell at (951)-255-9568. I’ve also created a dedicated Facebook page for the documentary ( called ” Zeitgeist Movement, Los Angeles Chapter-Documentary”).
Thanks for your consideration— and stay out of the heat!
