Introduction I started my travels on March 21st and arrived home on April 23rd — a trip that took me from the mountains in Alberta to Indiana and Nevada. It was great to meet so many people along the way. What I want to do in this post is recap what happened this past month as well as share a few things that I learned along the way. Banff, Alberta with Micheal Curtis – Always Learning I started out the
This film was shot over two days in Chicago, Illinois on the RED Epic & Canon 5D. The first day Karen, Austin & I spent timelapsing at various locations around the city.

About the Film The last day of #MastersInMotion was a blast! It started with Philip giving a presentation on colour and production workflow. As expected, you rocked it out! The last presentation of the conference was by Adam Forgione, whose advanced audio rundown blew both minds and ears. For me, it was by far the best presentation out of all of them — if it’s even possible to separate any of them from the lot! Following this, everyone got some
About the Film Day One has wrapped and all I can say is that if you were unable to make it to #MastersinMotion, you are missing out. On day one of the conference, I wasn’t sure how I wanted to cover the event as I was unsure how everything would play out. As a result, I overshot the event — making editing a pain in the ass! The above video is a look at day one. It is a bit
My Thoughts By Preston Kanak This past week I spent with Philip Bloom, Eric Kessler & Sarah Estela in Plymouth, Indiana, working on the Kessler Crane Documentary. I can safely say that Eric, Philip & Sarah are the three nicest people on earth. Seriously. For the documentary, we shot on the RED Epic, Sony F3, Panasonic AF100, Canon 5D Mark II, and GoPro HD. It was a pleasure to work with each of these cameras, especially the Sony F3. I
The Meet Up Tonight, a bunch of filmmakers from the Ohio/Indiana area (and beyond) will be meeting at Cedar point, the roller coaster capital of the world. The weather is supposed to be horrible so the venue may change — which really doesn’t matter as I am just excited to meet some pretty rad people! Filming at Cedar Point I am currently sitting in Pearson Airport brainstorming how I am going to approach the short tonight as there will be
A Week On The Road This week rocks! On Friday I leave for Cleveland, Ohio for a weekend at Cedar Point followed by a week in Plymouth, Indiana. Itinerary I land in Cleveland at 5:30pm and have to quickly get my rental car — check into my hotel and bust it out to Cedar Point — as it is about an hour from Cleveland. I hope I am not too late! Sunday I will be heading out to Plymouth, which

>>Current Project
I am currently producing a posting a 3 Minute Short film everyday. I am doing this in hopes of becoming a better filmmaker. My project is based off of the 10,000 hr rule which states that, "the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours". At the end of the first year, I will have logged approximately 5,000 hours.
