Individually, they present fleeting tableaux of precise personal incidents. Taken together, they provide a wider understanding of how universal youth resiliency really is. If from the mouth of babes comes the truth, then this metaphoric photo album speaks to the will and tenacity of human beings.

Lots of RGB LED light talk (Aputure, Litepanel Gemini, and Hive), the Zoom F6, the Sharp 8K camera, and a discussion about the Arri LF Mini that quickly devolves into Nick complaining about Apple.We got tacos from Funky Truckeria, which is a super tasty taco joint in Norton, OH.

Veteran Gaffer Pat Grosswendt has taught me so much about lighting. We've made dozens of commercials together. (Click his name for credits like "Cabin Boy, "Gosford Park" & "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") Have a listen and you will learn the history, the mindset and key technical aspects of being the one on set that shapes the light. Pat gives his take on the changes in the technology, but explains how the it's still the story that effects the lighting approach the most, regardless of the toys. Enjoy his fun tips too, like dumpster diving for diffusion, or use bubble wrap. Just a few tickets left!!
