Jonathan Daniel

Freelance Video Producer

I've been fascinated by filmmaking since I was little, studied it in college, and now I work as a freelancer while still trying to learn as much as I possibly can. I'm willing to learn from pretty much anybody, as I've found the newbies often have just as much to offer as the veterans.

Love the G-Drive SSD. I run a similar setup, and using proxies in FCPX condensed a 2TB project onto the 500GB version for portable editing. Super simple to reconnect the originals for export back in the office.

Thanks for sharing your workflow, Simon!

Article Comment – DJI Phantom 3 & Inspire 1 Can Now Fly Themselves with New Firmware

The Point-of-Interest and Waypoint modes have the potential to be very useful, I like anything that allows me to concentrate more on getting the perfect shot. I doubt many will use the "follow me" mode very often until there's some kind of viable obstacle avoidance built in. Still, pretty cool stuff. Updating tonight and hopefully testing in the morning (in a very large, unobstructed field).

Article Comment – How Reaction Shots Can Take Your Visual Storytelling to the Next Level

Rather than shine light on the window, focus instead on trying to light the subject that you want in the reflection. The difficult part is flagging off all the areas you don't want in the reflection, including the camera crew depending on the angle.
