HIGHLIGHTS

  • A black off-road vehicle with a camera crane on top is in a river, with three people kayaking nearby during sunset.

    Cameras

    We ran a RED Raptor with a Cooke 30-90mm Varotal Lens on a Canam Maverick. This allowed us to cover multiple scenes quickly with a jib or chase look. We then added an ARRI LF with Cooke Panchros as a handheld B Cam to mix and match.

  • A person in a cowboy hat and work clothes stands near a utility vehicle in a wooded area, holding a coil of wire.

    LIFESTYLE

    One exciting thing about this shoot was incorporating characters and lifestyle components to each scene. It was newer for Kubota at the time and we were honored to help roll it out.

  • A man driving a Polaris utility task vehicle (UTV) across a rocky dirt path beside a river, with green trees and hills in the background on a sunny day.

    ACTION

    With the new lifestyle approach, we were able to combine running footage with lifestyle and action shots. With the Canam and drone, we were able to grab great off-road chase shots.

  • A woman with dark hair wearing a gray shirt sitting in a golf cart, smiling and laughing outdoors during daytime with green trees in the background.

    CREW

    This team is stellar. We had long days but they were easy! If you aren’t having fun, you are doing it wrong.

  • Man in a black cap and dark polo shirt shaking hands with another person near a light blue 4x4 vehicle with four large tires, in an outdoor setting with green foliage in the background.

    CLIENT

    Kubota is one of our favorites. They help, trust, encourage, and have fun on set with us. It is a joy to co-labor with them.

  • Two men standing outdoors in a wooded area, smiling and conversing. One man is wearing a dark T-shirt with a logo, a beige cap, and jeans, with his hands on his hips. The other man, partially visible, has a beard, is wearing a dark shirt and shorts, and is standing next to a utility vehicle or equipment. The background features trees and yellowish grass with sunlight filtering through the leaves.

    CHAPLAIN

    Our non-profit kicked off with this shoot. We raised money to bring out a good friend and chaplain to hang out with us on set for the week. He brought a positive energy that communicated to the crew and client that we put people first.
