An afternoon in the Arizona desert with this Porsche GT3 RS. Here’s the finished film.

The rolling shots were the reason we planned this shoot, but that final FPV shot ended up being one of my favorites.

You can see how we filmed it—and what didn’t go to plan—on YouTube at First Reveal Productions.

You don’t need three cameras to capture three angles.

Record the action wide, reset, move in for a close-up, then repeat it for your medium shot. Leave a little time before and after each take so you have room to cut.

One camera, a repeatable action, and three shots you can build a sequence from.

Save this for your next solo shoot.

You set your camera in the corner, record the whole action, and wonder why the edit feels flat.

Try giving that moment three different views: a wide for context, a close-up for detail, and a medium for the action.

Same case. Same room. A completely different feel.

A closer look at the MOVMAX Razor rig mounted on the camera car.

The arm, the gimbal, the camera—and at the end, the Porsche GT3 RS rolling shot it all came together to capture.

Your footage looks orange or blue, and you’re tired of guessing which setting fixes it.

Here’s how to capture a custom white balance on your Sony camera so you have a better starting point before you edit.

Use a neutral white or gray reference in the same light as your subject, capture the reading, and you’re ready to shoot. Repeat when the lighting changes.

Save this for your next shoot.

You’re filming a white object, but your camera insists it’s blue. You adjust it—and now it’s orange.

Your white balance tells the camera how to interpret the light. Under the same lighting, a lower Kelvin setting makes the image cooler, while a higher setting makes it warmer.

Watch what changes when you get it right. Wednesday, we’ll walk through setting and locking it for consistent shots.

You’ve cleared everything off your desk for a clean shot—but putting one object back might make it better.

Place your subject with some room behind it, frame your background, then bring an object close to the lens. Keep it near the edge so it adds depth without hiding your subject.

Foreground → subject → background.

Save this setup for your next shoot.

If your shot feels flat, it may be missing one of these three layers:

1. Foreground
2. Middleground
3. Background

Place something close to the lens, keep your subject in the middle, and leave some separation behind them. That simple change can make the frame feel much deeper.

Save this for your next shoot.

Two drones. One final film.

I combined the best footage from both the cinematic drone and FPV into one short automotive piece.

Smooth when it needed to be. Aggressive when it needed to be.

Just a clean showcase of what both styles can bring to the same shoot.
