First shoot of the week with a 6-man crew out at Sam Pack Five Star Ford in Carrollton, TX.

People often underestimate the time it takes to set up for a commercial. Lighting, camera, audio—everything has to be dialed in before the first shot is even captured. With a strong crew, that process becomes efficient. A one-hour setup with professional equipment is very realistic when everyone is locked in.

Also finally got my hands on the Blackmagic Pyxis 12K. Looking forward to seeing what this camera can do in a full production environment.

Grateful to be on set, contributing, and getting the first shoot of the week underway.

Like, I know these are just cell phone shots of me with my camera… but let me tell you — this is therapeutic for me. It’s unedited and unfiltered, as most people would say.

The goal for me was simple: two lights, a subject, and a few elements to help drive the scene. I wanted to show small details in the background without showing the entire wall. The light is focused on certain points.

And by the way… that’s painted wallpaper in the corner of my studio.

Sure, I could have blurred the background with portrait mode on my phone, but I didn’t care about that. I just wanted to get the shot and show off this cool two-light setup. If this were for a client, it would be a different story and a different setup.

I like demonstrating looks, practicing simple lighting techniques in a small space — even a corner like this — all while making the subject (me and the camera) stand out.

If you like posts like this, give it a like and share. I plan on doing more to show you simple ways to elevate your content, and I’ll be breaking down exactly what lights I’m using.

Stay tuned for more.
