Videography has become something I absolutely adore doing. As with everything I love, I dive in pretty hard. This is the mess of a rig I used to film the @makerspacect tour video that went up this past weekend. This was a bit of a test run for how I plan to shoot at SEMA this year. Some bugs to iron out but it did well all the same. I don't post camera nerd stuff here as it isn't what this page is about but it's fun technology all the same.
