I had the recent opportunity and priviledge of putting together and doing the cinematography for Cooper Firearms.  The shoot had a simple goal, capture a live ‘falcon’ flying through the air from various angles to be used as the TITLE SEQUENCE for a number of, yet to come, commercials.  To make sure we were properly equipped, we got a Phantom HD high speed camera decked out with an Angenieux Optimo 17-80mm zoom lens.  Adjusting to the light difference between a ‘normal’ camera speed of 24 frames per second and 500-1000 frames per second was tricky at first, but we had secured a proper test period before the bird arrived.  The crew was amazing and here is the first finished spot(the title sequence at the end,with the bird, is what we shot for).

We put fresh Masonite on our mini ramp recently and tagged it all up… The other day, I found a winning color of Oops paints at Home Depot, so we threw down a solid coat today and it is Fresh.
