(Planet Earth + Travis Rice) x (Sick Video Cameras) = That’s It, That’s All

Curt Morgan of Brain Farm Digital Cinema is a professional snowboarder turned hi-tech cinematographer after hurting his back and not being able to snowboard any longer. Beyond the Phantom HD Gold and the Red One, he’s managed to get government licensing to purchase a system to stabilize his video camera which was used by the government to launch smart weapons. This means it has 5 gyros which allows the camera to stabilize shots filmed from a quarter mile away without camera shake. The guy is filming snowboard tricks with U.S. military grade weapon technology! That’s sick.

I have the opportunity to work with the Phantom HD Gold this week for work. Needless to say, I am very excited.

Here’s the trailer, which has also earned the spot of my featured video:

We set up a mini photo shoot on the dining room table and here are a few of the best ones! Don’t you just want to squeeze her cute little cheeks?

We’ll start off with the family shot. My brother, Thai, his wife Linh and baby Emily. There was literally no space in my house and since the only lens I have is a 50mm or a 70-200mm this is the best I can do, so it’s a little tight. I need to buy a studio for my hobby is really what I’m getting at.

A couple more after the jump…
