This is my camera, we used it for B-cam on a commercial recently. I had to pull focus and zoom while rolling so I hooked up one of my Nucleus-M handles to the camera and used it like a Preston Microforce. Not the most optimal setup, but it worked for what we needed.

Little messy cause I had to find places for all the sounds stuff to fit that we normally don't have to deal with, but it ended up working out pretty well.

My back left tire exploded on the freeway on the way to this gig and I had to get towed to the dealership then Uber to set. I was 2 hours late but made it just before they started shooting.
He's a funny dude, super chill. This was right before his unfortunate loss recently.

That is Paramount Ranch, not too far away. Though I did find out that Melody Ranch did suffer a major fire in 1962 that burnt down much of this street you're seeing. When we were there it felt very old and authentic. We spent about a week filming in the same saloon that was used in Django Unchained when Christoph Waltz's character shoots the town sheriff towards the beginning of the movie. We also had a lot of live animals like horses, oxen, and chickens.
Yeah, it has definitely slowed down a lot recently. This was a non-union feature we shot about 2 months ago, but nearly everyone on the crew was union because none of the normal shows were starting back up, even months before the strike (because the studios knew it was coming) so the union folks were taking whatever they could get. Though this project was a lot of fun and has some very notable talent. We're actually shooting another week of pickup shots this month to finish it off.
