Production: Dodge Charger Spec Video

We tackled our first car commercial. It was a spec to show what we can do with a car mount and vehicle mounted jibs. Entitled "fun never grows old", the storyline parallels a father and son both enjoying a car experience - the father driving the car and the son playing with a toy car at home. Due to uncontrollable variables, the shoot day was a little stressed but the cast and crew performed really well and the yielded great footage.

Production: A Battle to the Death - sword fight

Shooting a scene in Tyler State Park in Newtown, PA, Jarrod Weida and Josh Gieringer clashed steel for hours as the RED Oner camera flew around on the EZFX 16' Jib with remote pan/tilt head. A great crew handled the shoot to go as smoothly as possible with two tech for the battle's finale with all the fake blood that was needed. Jarrod was getting over being sick and the day definitely took its physical toll on the fighters but everyone left with smiles on their faces and we wrapped only 30 minutes past the scheduled wrap time. Not bad!

Cast: Jarrod Weida, Josh Gieringer

Crew: Mitch Martinez (Director/DP), Dan Sinisi, Brian Simon, PJ DiMuzio, Chris Monterro, Alan Fenstermaker, Lora Rowland, Andrea Fulton, Zac Roberts
