Parashoot – The safe(ish) card eraser app

I’ve known about this app for a while and just started using this after I heard about an instance where a loader thought they had a card backed up, erased it in disk utility, and then realized it wasn’t actually backed up. To their credit though, it was a few days old from post and […]

LightIron Folder Structure

Got a few requests for this little app so here’s the download link for it. So let’s talk about what this is doing exactly. When you run this app it’s going to prompt you 4 times. For what shoot day it is For your long term storage (for me it’s my RAID) For your local […]

Useful links

I started a new section of this site titled “Useful Links” which essentially is links to other sites that are helpful, I know descriptive right? Figured putting them all in one place might be a good reference for people. Anyhoo, shoot me an email or leave a comment if you have a useful link

Multi-tasking throttling hot-fix on OSX

A fellow DIT named Alex Carr figured out this fix within OSX that fixes multi-tasking issues when copying to one or more sources. What exactly does this mean and why does it matter? I’m glad you asked. Essentially when you try to copy from one source to another, OSX will prioritize the files in order. […]

Interview with Jonny Elwyn

It’s been a while since I last posted, but for good reason. I’ve been on Odd Mom Out Season 3 since February, and wrapped that and currently on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel Season 1 until August (plus I just finished building a home color suite in my house, that will have it’s own post soon). […]

Render, Render, Render

I got into a discussion with someone on the Epic-W page on FB about if a RRX works or not with Helium footage. Well I can say without a doubt that no it does not, at least not on a Mac (I don’t have a TB3 enclosure or a pc laptop to test it out […]

Epic-W 8K,7K,6K, all the Ks

Recently I found myself as an owner of a Epic-W (specifically #434) and I’ve been shooting a bit with it in conjunction with my Leica Summicrons, and I have to say I’m pretty excited about this camera. As a DIT I have to be camera indifferent, I can’t have a sway to one or the […]

Setting up the Teradek COLR to work with the Bullet M2

I’m currently writing a review on my experiences with the Teradek COLR (will update this post to link to that) but I’ve had some questions about how to set up a network to be able to work with it, and I’ve had some difficult issues with it and have finally settled on how best to […]

Coming Attractions

Things have been dark on this blog for good reason. I was on HBO’s Vinyl from May to October and couldn’t talk about my involvement on that at all from a NDA perspective. Now that the show is out I can officially start talking about the workflow and how everything came to pass. So […]

LiveGrade Version 3

Pomfort has release it’s newest upgrade to LiveGrade, with version 3 making it’s debut today. I’ve been a fan of pomfort’s for a number of years, especially when the only two players in town were LiveGrade or LinkColor. LiveGrade really allowed me to stay organized and be able to manage my looks over a number […]
