The Strivers

This weekend, I teamed up with director Guy Shalem, and Writer/Producer Dave Castleman for a pilot proof of concept called “The Strivers.”

Guy and Dave wanted a dramatic, high contrast look for this law drama.  We shot with two Reds (Epic & Scarlet) with a set of Zeiss super speed MkII lenses.

4k HMIs pars and 5k tungsten fresnels were the order of the day, lighting through windows with lots of haze.  A huge thanks goes out to Tim Otholt of Light Hollywood for gaffing and providing the g&e gear, and a huge thanks to Michael Cardeñas for operating Steadicam and providing the camera gear.

My camera and g&e teams were fantastic! Thank you guys so much for your hard work!

Here are some stills from the project:

I’ll be sharing video soon!  Thanks again to my hardworking crew!
