Work out program pilot

Cool shoot from 7-27-10 with DP Geoff Reisner and Kholi Hicks. This was for a work out video. We interviewed Joe, a pretty cool guy who has trained quite a few world champion boxers and lots of A-List actors.

This was a fun little project. We came into this gym and lit it up nice in a few spots and then they put on "for those about to rock" by AC/DC and everybody just started training hard while we filmed. We got some cool boxing footage.

Here is a list of equipment that was used:

2x Floppys
2x 4'x4' break down frames w/ grifflon
8x sand bagsbags
8x C Stands
1x 400w HMI
1x 2' 4bank & 2x 2' 2bank
1x 650W Fresnel
1x 1k Open Face
2x 4'x4' opal frames
2x bead board holders
2x 24"x36" Scrim Set
2x furniture pads
10x spring clips

(a few other things were used but this is the the meat and potatoes)

To do this again I would have brought either the dolly or the slider, the Jib, ummmmm, and that is about it. Cool Shoot though. Kholi is a real pro.

Get out the 3D glasses!!

Well get out your 3D glasses, AGrip & What310.com are going into 3D production.

For a long time I have bought equipment that would be big enough to, in the future support 3D camera systems. The future is coming and we are getting in position to be the 3D grip and lighting/gaffer services company of choice.



NOTE: this is an "old school" style (red/blue, Anaglyph) of 3D. The new style for televisions that are currently being marketed is a "variable shutter" system which uses 3D glasses that show one of your eyes the frame from one of the cameras, then the other eye the frame from the other camera. Essentially each eye is watching a different perspective of the same movie which creates the illusion of 3D.

Stingers in the hooouse

AGrip has a grip of new Stingers, 25'er's and 50'er's. Hospital grade plugs, pro pro stingers for all your extension cord needs.

These are some behind the scenes pictures that I snapped, from a pilot I gaffed on entirely with AGrip.net equipment. This show is being pitched to HBO, and I think it is really good. And, I am not just saying that because I gaffed it!!

This is a mock up of the AGrip Bungy Cam system. This kit is currently in Ohio being used to film motorcycle stunt crews.

Car Mount in Action

This weekend (4-25-10) I shot a cool little music video with Jason from WeOnMedia.com

We used the car mount in a few different configurations with the light panel kit inside. This car was a really nice car, with a whole lot of muscle. The owner said it had about 480HP and 500Torque. It was vibrating a whole lot and we thought that the footage was going to come out shaky. The footage actually did come out slightly shaky, but it wasn't bad. It actually worked out well.

12'x12' Overhead!

We have a 12'x12' Overhead Frame w/ Stands, China silk and an 8'x8' with grifflon, now available!
