Oh man... Great to hear more from the guys behind the scenes on this. Crazy happy one of my Filmsupply clips got to be even a small part of something this big.

Yes... Uncle Jens is the man, works his tail off, and is a freakin' great guy.

The travel experiences have always been the favorite part of my work and second and third world countries are normally the craziest. Crossing into Haiti on foot from the Dominican Republic where local Haitians ran off with my equipment before I could realize they were trying to help. Literally fighting insane crowds in Vietnam and being taken to a police station without our fixers or translators. Traveling more than 48 hours one way by plane, bus, small van, wooden boat, DIY motorcycle/flatbed vehicle, and by foot to location in Bangladesh. In Uganda, we were crammed into a car for a seven hour drive from location back to the airport that included a 50 pound bag of bananas and a large rat that ran down my arm five hours into the trip. Almost not making it through customs in Bolivia because the client didn't have the correct visa for me to get in with my camera gear. Landing at a small desert airport for a shoot in Bolivia where our plane was the only one there. At the other end of the spectrum, I've ridden in supercars (Ferraris & Bentleys) and helicopters while working in Malaysia and Indonesia. Not much of a crazy location, but I also did a story with the US Airforce Thunderbirds where I got to fly (and puke) in an F-16 fighter jet.

So great to hear someone talk about "...learning how to be humble and serve agencies and clients" and "...learning how to serve other people’s ideas." I think it's easy to get caught up in the idea that a client hires you because you're good at what you do vs. hiring you because they have a need.

It's worth it. I talked to him after his workshop last summer in Dallas and he remembered me when I saw him again at Masters in Motion in Austin this past December. Seems like a great guy.

Glad to see you're up and blogging again about your work. Missed the read while the site was quiet.

Never thought about the idea of the learning curve leveling off. It's crazy easy to get frustrated after the excitement of early, sometimes unwarranted, success wears off.

I'll ask the customs agent to stamp my notebook as I go through immigration. Sometimes they're cool about it, sometimes not.

Any word on internet speed? The speed has dropped dramatically since the update - fast enough for emails, but that's about it.

Great stuff man. As a DP and cam op in Oklahoma City, there's a reason I continue to hire the same 1st AC I've worked with over the past couple years. More often than not, they know more about my gear than I do, gets to set earlier and works harder than the rest of the crew, and takes care of problems before they get to me. Being indispensable on set gets you hired again.

Yep. On top of the St. Anthony's parking garage during the afternoon. Found it on Google Earth using the 3D and sun positioning features.

Re: [Q of Week] – 5 tips for flying with gear

tannerherriott — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:57:18 -0000

I've always tried to never check any of my glass (lenses, cameras, etc) for fear of breakage and use my ThinkTank Airport International v2 as a carry-on. The bag is supposed to be regulation size for a carry-on even for smaller planes. I fly out of Oklahoma City and more often than not the airlines ask that I check my camera bag at the gate. I can usually get by and carry it on saying that it's camera equipment, but every now and then I have to argue to get it on the smaller planes. Recently I did the usual argue thing and it turned out ThinkTank bag was too big for the overhead and I broke the door trying to force it in. Point being - just because the manufacturer says its gear is within airline regulation doesn't always mean it'll fit in the smaller planes.

I love the wooden floor. Seems like I've seen it in some of your other work - is it portable?

I follow their educational blog and tutorial videos. They do a great job at covering the basics, but I'd really be interested in learning more about their pre-production processes. I believe they've hosted educational events in the past. I haven't seen any coming up, but it the price is right I'd be there.

Music-wise, I'm not sure where they got the song for this video. But I do know they are pretty involved with a music licensing project called With Etiquette - https://withetiquette.com/ . I've never used it before, but it's worth looking into.

So far, so good. The book has some great financial nuggets and I plan to write something up about it on the blog once I'm finished.

I've been using Pond5.com ( pond5.com/artist/tannerherr... ) for the last couple years. I haven't sold as much footage as I'd like, but the extra income is great to have.
