A personal piece for a lighthouse I've grown very fond of just off the coast in northern California. This magnificent and rather expensive lighthouse, the most costly in the US, was born out of tragedy. July 30, 1865 the steam side-wheeler ship Brother Jonathan struck these rocks after a course correction to fight against the aggressive seas and winds. Of the 244 passengers only 19 survived via...

RUclips Encoding Note - The recompression via RUclips gobbles up tonal detail and creates blocky/lossy noise particularly in the LOG samples, which is the flickering and madness you are seeing. If you'd like to see cleaner stills of this, I have uploaded them here: www.phfx.com/stripbox.cgi?gallery=phfx/cinematography/2023_06_20_RED_DynamicRange Took a moment to take a close look at all 2023 RE...

Before we make the turn from Autumn to Winter take a moment to enjoy the color of Fall. Sunsets in Los Angeles are often beautiful, but the brief time after the sun has dipped below the horizon tends to vary wildly from lackluster to eerily beautiful. Occasionally you get special light at dusk that only lasts a brief few minutes that somehow seems to freeze time despite the remaining light fadi...

I've been very, very fortunate to film the Grand Canyon for many projects over the last decade from the helicopter. It's majestic stature inspires so many. As iconic as it is, there's always a surprise to be found at different times of the year and in different parts of the canyon. This particular take was filmed during the transition at the end of Winter as snow still sits above the canyon on ...

A short mini-doc/portrait of Gail Baldwin filmed at his home in the shallows off the coast of Miami in 2016. Stiltsville is a protected small collection of homes built above water on pilings. The origins of these structures have a historic past dating back to 1922 during the Prohibition Era with these small sea shacks sprouting up. The area gained some notoriety when Crawfish Eddie opened up a ...

Recently I was fortunate to get a very early look at the new, soon to be released Tokina 21mm and 29mm T1.5 Cinema Vista Primes. Decided to put together a quick test shoot on RED V-Raptor in 8K VV and 5K S35 to see what the lenses can do and how they fit with the nearby focal lengths. These are two focal lengths I'm real excited about for both the VV and S35 formats. Much like the other Cinema ...

Wrapped a busy year of filming out of the country for the last several months. Came home, nearly felt like a stranger, was looking to connect with my city, and created this long form aerial piece. Please enjoy this in full screen, preferably in a dark room. Best watched in 4K or 8K if you have a display that supports those resolutions. Filmed on RED Monstro 8K VV with Fujinon Premista Zooms via...

I was very, very fortunate to get a few hours with the new RED V-Raptor 8K-VV just before the announcement and release to do a small test shoot. I had just a few hours with the camera without a crew, but I chose to make a quick little short film in that time while testing out exactly what this small camera camera can do. Everything seen here was filmed at 8K 17:9, either 24fps or 120fps, and fi...

Notable unique features the F...

A quick test of the new in between focal lengths, the 40mm and new 65mm, of the Tokina Cinema Vista Primes. Intermediate focal lengths are particularly useful to fill in the notable jump between fields of view and magnification in a prime lineup such as the leap from 35 to 50 or 50 to 85. These two new lenses do exactly that and are useful for both Super 35mm as well as VistaVision formats. Sho...

Detectives are at a loss in solving 25 consecutive weeks of mysterious murders and suicides in a not-so-distant future Los Angeles when a sudden break leads them closer to the truth. Dispatcher is a passion project of mine developed as a pitch pilot and was my first narrative indie film effort captured and delivered in 8K. It premiered and was well received in Las Vegas and Los Angeles in 2017....

Pretty much every minute since I picked my new RED Komodo 6K up late May 2020 people have been asking for a sample clips from the camera. Thought I'd have some fun and give a decent length clip for people to test their workflows out. Enjoy. Here's the 6K footage in native REDCODE RAW HQ, 24fps, audio is in the .RDC folder: edit - after exploding my drobbox for the 30GB clip, I've exported an R3...
