In response to increased interest in film origination, as well as NAC's continued support for the medium, we have invested in the new Kinotech MK3 HD-SDI video assist system for our ARRI SR3 Advanced. This will provide a color or b&w 1080P resolution SDI signal to all modern monitors and wireless transmitters. Creatives who have known nothing but digital are increasingly turning to film to help set their work apart, as well as to create an aesthetic that just can't be done digitally.

Some pictures from today's amazing ARRI ENSO lens demo. Talk about an amazing new set of tools for visual artists, and story tellers! Wow, truly one of the finest examples of 21st century optical design that is capable of looking like everything from high-quality modern cinema lens to vintage prime, to table top-product dream lens and everything in between!

One of the great perks of my years as a DP was I got to meet and work with some awesome people, and Bob Uecker was no exception. When you're laughing all day long, it makes the day go by VERY quickly! RIP Mr. Uecker. Everyone in Wisconsin and baseball fans around the world are going to miss you dearly. Thanks to Neil Jaehnert from Midland Video Productions for sharing these pics with me.

It seems like two weeks ago already, but it's only been three days! Thanks again to all that attended this year's epic Video Professionals Holiday Party. Here's our first group shot ever attempted, and while it only represents a percentage of the total people that attended, I think it's a wonderful keepsake for a fun night. Thanks again to all our wonderful sponsors who made the night possible and to Maziyah Harris for taking the party pictures this year. Happy New Year to all, see you in 2025!

The Ronin RS4-Pro featuring the new LiDAR rangefinder, wireless follow focus and video. Full blown cinema or basic run n gun. Our camera or yours—-available now at NAC

I’m sure Milwaukee currently has some of the most sophisticated surveillance and law enforcement equipment in the world right now for the RNC. But still nothing beats this.

ARRI is truly amazing when it comes to backwards compatibility. Here’s a HI-5 wireless follow focus start/stopping a camera that is 30+ year old technology without any issues.#northamericancamera #arrihi5 #arri #therighttoolforthejob

What dunking $100,000 + worth of camera gear into water looks like.#airsealand #northamericancamera #teradekrt #TheRightToolForTheJob #arrialexa35 #coreswx #cameraprep #alexa35

It's not every day you intentially spray water at your lens. But you do when you are prepping the Prodigy system for this week's waterpark shoot! Air is blowing at 300MPH across the special glass front making for a water spots free shot every time! #angenieuxez #coreswx #northamericancamera #oconnor #blockbattery #smallhd #arrihi5 #arriminilf #teradekbolt3000 #cameraprep #brighttangerine

Very cool robotic camera arm flying an ARRI MiniLF all over the place today at prep. Virtually unlimited repeatable camera moves.

It's not everyday a lens test turns into a BTS for @spencer.ortega shooting one of his famous Griddy videos, but here it is and there was nothing I could do to stop it...
