Milan Fashion Week Vibes
Some how to of footage taken with our friends at GEOX during the new collection launch, project in which we, me at the camera and @giovanni__grossi editing (check Geox profile for the edit done daily for them), are proudly involved and collaborate for a while now thanks to @aridissimo
This year Iāve got the opportunity to test on field the new Sirui Jupiter 35mm T2 that @siruiimaging provide with the rest of the set, me in order to give some feedbacks.
Thanks @michelenava.mov for the bts footage
At first they look really sharp, clean, fast enough, a perfect pick for this kind of content productions, where a clean image is crucial. On set we had only the 35mm, picked between the whole set since we were gear tight and so we chose what would be an overall āgo forā in terms of Focal Length on a S35 sensor.
Despite a prime may seem a problem in situation like these where flexibility and fast response is crucial (a zoom was my pick on the previous editions), combining this lens with a sigma 18-35mm and a Laowa 12mm zero d, granted me the perfect combination. Itās just a matter of being well organized and have a clear shortlist in our mind.
Which would be your go for setup?

Sorry for not answering: āOffice are temporary closed for livingā
Which are the 3 features youād like to have for a travel light?
I would pick:
- Powerful
- Portable
- Flexible in use
All of these 3 are into the MOLUS family from Zhiyun! I was already a big fan, having in my light kit 2x MOLUS 100x pro kit, which changed the way of lighting and traveling to me. For indoor situations, or outdoor evening / shadow shootings, these lights have helped me and the team a lot, being flexible to be used as practical lights, key light to shoot details and b-rolls (for ex. Car details), yet powerful enough for light propoperly also an indoor interview in case (weāve clamped them like everywhere).
And moreover I loved that I can just ship them in the luggage, bringing on the carry on bag just the battery (please do not leave batteries in the checked bag guys hahaha).
So after a really nice talk at NAB I wanted to thank @zhiyun_tech for letting me try these new lights theyāve just recently released, a whole new way for fast and light setups.
Iāll let you know how me and the team will like to work with these lights, doing probably a longer videro in a couple of months, just to test them and see how stiff and good to be used. i hope that these can be a b-setup for affordable lights and/or a solutions when things like weight, space and flexibility comes to be a crucial part while pre-producing.
p.s. how cool is the cover shot from @paolo.alphieri

So this is it. LAST ONE.
THE END.
FINISH.
Ok of the Season, but probably you wonāt see us going back to a theater anytime soon with the @breakingitaly night.
I canāt tell you now what weāre working on but in the meantime I can tell you how proud I am of this project.
How it has evolved from being a total random experiment, in being a fixed appointment where we had the chance to
meet friends
Make friends
Test ourselves
Grow as a team and as human beings.
I wanted to thank @shooterhatesyou for all the beautiful vibes he brought in these years on stage, the way he manage stress, being in front of thousands of people, talking with such high profile politicians, artists, journalists etc.. is so inspiring for me and for everyone in the crew.
There would be a lot to be said, and maybe weāll do that, but for now just trust me when I tell you that a good project start from the head that has it, and he has been a great guide.
Thanks to each one of the guy that have been part of the episodes of this and the previous seasons, you have all been a step ahead and Iāve learnt something from each one of you, guiding you through the seasons, the technicals and trusting all of you have been a big lesson to me.
Thanks to the theater that have hosted us in this wonderful season, weāve been pleased to be welcomed every time by a skilled and excited crew, I hope weāll meet anytime soon.
Thanks to you, all the people that came to see the show, watched that online, wrote a comment good or less positive, each of your feedback improved us and weāve stepped forward also thanks to you.
Thanks to my technical support, @nanlite.italia and @hollyland.eu @hollylandtech and the guys at @gruppotfs you support and our dedication in creating value contents helped us to be focused on that topic too, trained us in new and different technologies and made us confident in what we were using and how we were using thanks to your feedbacks, we canāt wait to keep
NEW PRODUCT ON FIELD TEST
Iāve had the chance to test out the new Pyro S before their release and we decided to test them on a real battleground, the podcast where we have 9 cameras wireless connected.
We have all @hollylandtech ecosystems on field, using Cosmo C1 and Mars 4K coupled with Mars M1 Enhanced.
I had a spare couple of mars 4K just in case, but I have to be honest, theyāve worked perfectly.
ā
Hereās some things I like:
- Scene Mode: love the chance to decide between boosting signal range or quality when needed. Here we have used HD mode being close to the receiver
- indipendent transmission technology: having a different signal band using and switch has free more the channels used by the mars 4K, improving also their functionality
š¤ Things Iām still deciding my feeling about:
- form factor, Iāve been rigging my cameras always with a vertical setup, Iām still understanding if I like this āhorizontalā setup
Thanks so much to @eve_hollyland and @hollyland.eu for letting me try this new from the family.

Guest @matteorenzi , ex Italian prime minister.
This has been the 2nd time for us to welcome on Teatro Dal Vermeās Stage a prime minister and I have to say thatās always a big pleasure.
The Team has developed a smooth workflow that makes me less worries about technicals and let me be more focused on how to direct at my best them, the talents and all the amazing people that comes to watch this show live, more than 1500 people!
Iām amazed by the huge follow weāve got during these years and a bit sad that we will be shooting the season last episode soon.
But Iāve also understood that when a season ends, a new opportunity is yet to pop up and begins.
Thanks to @matteo_foresti and @shooterhatesyou that from episode to episode are trustful, itās always like coming back and gather with the family now.
Thanks to my wonderful team, a team of professionals that struggle everyday to do the best out of their projects and out of our projects, we are growing together while doing each one of it, being wiser after every set day and bringing a wonderful energy when we have the chance to spend time together like this.
Last but not least at all, thanks to the tech sponsor that supports me on this journey, and not only. @hollylandtech @hollyland.eu @lawrenceleigh_cn @katiebear218 , @nanlite.italia @nanlite_global @yc.onion @gruppotfs
Having the chance to catch up with you all in Vegas In the past weeks has been such a great gift for me, proving me that people comes before any kind of business.
Honored to partner on this together.

This time with @ranucci_sigfrido as guest! Maybe outside Italy this name may not be very popular but youād better check him out.
Sigfrido is one of the best Italian investigative journalist, probably the most famous one to my knowledge.
Heās been the One that has brought light and truth on many, sadly, cruel and unfogivable crimes.
Iām not here to talk about him, you can google and find way more accurate articles about him.
But I want to talk about how I felt while working on this episode.
When you meet someone that has decided to sacrifice his entire life for the sake of what someone may call just a Job, you have, at least, to spot and think for a moment.
Iāve been interrogating myself after listening to this interview, trying to understand if I do have that same willpower, that burning fire that brought him to pursue the truth above everything.
Maybe people sometimes are just scared to find that Thing, the one that can be the leading force to you whole life; the one for what everything can be sacrificed.
Maybe someone just would not like to make that step and go for it, no matter what.
Or Maybe someone just have never looked for that, never stopped so much to talk to yourself and tell āwhat would you die forā?
In this mix of fear and admiration for him, I donāt have a clear answer about that question, but meeting him has turned on these kind of questions in me, and Iām glad that my work, my life, is also making me working on this side.
I would like to thank as always @shooterhatesyou and the @breakingitaly family, @matteo_foresti to have, years ago, decided to walk this path together, Iām thankful for every person Iāve met during this show.
My Team, weāre growing together, on this and every other project we do, and Iām honored to be part of this.
My tech sponsor, the guys at @hollylandtech @hollyland.eu , @gruppotfs , @nanlite.italia @yc.onion , who believe in us and let us express ourselves in a very creative way.

Guest @giuseppeconte_ufficiale ex Italy Prime Minister š¤Æ
Today I want to talk to you about episode 2 of the @breakingitaly night podcast that I have the pleasure to produce together with @matteo_foresti and a team of professionals who are committed and believe in this project.
A few days after recording episode n.3 I can say that, only when you can stop for a moment and observe what is happening around you, you can really understand what is happening and how the project is evolving. This is what I felt seeing this incredible machine moving in the prep of the podcast, episode after episode, a well oiled machine in which everyone has a fundamental role; can we improve? Certainly. Are we going to do it? Today more than ever.
But are we satisfied with what we do at the end of the day? Yes.
The answers to these questions are neither trivial nor obvious. Often the desire can fail, the commitment seems fruitless and things always seem to try to slow us down, but it is precisely when we manage to hold on and face these adversities that results happen without having to look for them.
A big thank you goes to the whole team, leading each of you is an honor rather than a great responsibility, thank you for your trust and patience, I know that sometimes I am tough.
success is thanks to each of you and every episode is for me the opportunity to be more of a guide for the team by growing my listening and leadership skills.
Thanks to (random order of happearing)
