Take some time and call your representatives in congress. If you’re in an area affected by the winter storm today is a great opportunity. You’ll likely go to voicemail but that’s fine. Have fun with it. I called Cory Booker and asked where his spine is, looking like Gumby over there. Abolish ICE

If anyone transfers large files online regularly you absolutely should consider a NAS! In under a week I was able to transfer and make 8tb of footage shareable to anyone anywhere who has a link. So folks on XP Stage you should be able to get your footage soon.

Figured I’d share the xp stage filming set up. This is a blackmagic pocket 4k with a Fujinon 15-55 with a Shinibi 7 inch monitor. On the monopod arm is a mini micro 5 key keyboard attached to my iPad which was connected to the Mac mini attached to the ATEM so I could film and switch at the same time

I’ll be running 3 workshops at MAGFest this year! If you want to improve your videos or refresh on things you learned long ago these are the panels for you! The first will be hands on with film equipment, one will be a music video workshop where we film a video with Owlbear,

Hey! Haven’t been on social media in a hot minute. People have a lot to say about MAGFest- And so do I, I’m doing a number of workshops/seminars/panels at the XP stage this year! All having to do with video production and theory. Would love to hear if there’s anything y’all would like to hear!

Update: the bill is likely to exceed $7000 after everything is accounted for. He will have to be hospitalized for two days at least. I'm on a payment plan for the rest of it but anything helps. Thanks again for signal boosts. He's been a very good boy for all the tests tonight!

JUSTICE FOR JAX. www.ipetitions.com/petition/jus... More details are available on the petition. An act of violence committed against a trans woman, and it’s being swept under the rug and mishandled by the police. If you have a minute to sign and share, please do so. All we have is each other.

Little check in post: I support the protests happening in LA/across the country, ICE/Trump administration is bad, AI is awful and you shouldn’t use it, billionaires are bad, trans rights are human rights, your body your choice. Go out to local protests if you can and as often as you can.

Give this a watch when you have the time! This was an incredibly fun event to film and they did an incredible job on the edit

This was a super fun panel to do! If you have a chance and you want to dig into our brains on how we made videos give this a watch!

🎉🎉ANNOUNCEMENT!!! FIRST LOOK at Dave the Diver: REMASTERED www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCQ... This looks like something I'd wanna play, finally a GRITTY REBOOT of sweet Dave the Diver ♥

trans rights or fuck off

This was a super fun video to shoot and edit. Huge thanks to Premium vintage for agreeing to allowing us to shoot them for a panel. Also big shout outs to the other great staff at XP stage for killing it!

Finally made it home from MAGFest. Had an absolutely amazing time running the film crew for XP stage, running two panels with @ropanuganti.com, and a solo filmmaking panel. I also took a bunch of photos on my Olympus pen f so I’ll be posting those once I get everything developed!

Thankful I got to host a FULL panel with my Camera Brother @djsteamypete.bsky.social helping to give creative and even filmic music vid ideas, and run a switcher board! Took photos for @trewatsonmusic.com #FandomFight and @lizzrobinett.com and finally met the guy I edit @joezieja.bsky.social !

Glad I ended up attending this year's #MAGFest! I got to experience awesome things & boost friendships while meeting more people! I also have so many photos & don't know how to organize them. @lizzrobinett.com @djsteamypete.bsky.social, @ropanuganti.com

I also have a 3rd panel/workshop at MAGFest! This one I dive deep into how, why, and what goes into shooting a music video. I’ll tackle film theory, philosophy of a shot, and give you a great starting point to get into filmmaking/improve your shots. I like to think of this one like a lecture.

This is going to be an incredibly fun workshop. We have a bunch of fun things planned and you get to listen to some killer music! Come by if you have a chance

@ropanuganti.com and I are doing a panel at MAGFest! If you wanna learn all things video making for music come check us out at 1:00pm on Thursday!

@ropanuganti.com and I are doing a panel at MAGFest! If you want to learn anything about the video process see us there!

Would YOU buy a scuba suit for a #VGM video? Fly across the US and make your own color chart? Join @djsteamypete.bsky.social and my MAGFEST panel on THURSDAY Jan 23 at 1PM ET for our Music Video Q&A Panel! We'll share film tips, BTS on our biggest projects, and more!

First analog camera! It’s a beautiful half frame Olympus Pen F with a 50-90mm f3.5. Been wanting to up my photography/cinematography skills so I figured going analog with its limitations (but natural beauty) will help with that. I plan on giving this a spin at MAGFest!

Baby’s first camera (thanks for the recs and advice, @djsteamypete.bsky.social) AND a music video panel by @ropanuganti.com and Pete next month? 2025’s gonna be a good year!

We have some fun stuff cooking for this! Y’all should absolutely plan on stopping by if you want to know all things VGM video!

So I think I might like @neoncowell.bsky.social Exceptional Goblins a little bit 😅

Show your pet and what they are named after

Decided to try out the lists on here. I assembled a group of folks in VGM who post film/video info, WIP, tips, all that good stuff. Y’all should absolutely give these guys a follow go.bsky.app/2LtQKhB

My great-grandparents used to travel to schools/libraries telling Cherokee stories/singing songs their parents and grandparents taught them growing up. They were a cool bunch. I briefly remember my great grandpa when he gave me and my brothers an arrowhead in a medicine bag. He passed soon after.

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man

I can't stand having to reiterate my stance because crises that affect these people can't stop happening. Please, normalize this already. I'm so tired of people's rights and orientation and the like being constantly under assault like this. I'm so tired, just make it stop already. 😭

I’ll go ahead and put this out there, if you voted for someone who is against people’s rights to their own bodies, who doesn’t support people’s identity, and is a racist criminal, then simply I never want to work with you. If you don’t care about humans, I don’t care for you.

Be sure to go out and vote everyone! It took me less than thirty minutes. The only downside is they ran out of I voted stickers.

Hey anyone who has hearing loss and wants to get some hearing aids you should absolutely get some air pods pro 2s. They are way better than the other hearing aid I’ve used and significantly cheaper. The ability to do your own test (while not entirely accurate) is a huge bonus!

Super glad to see more people on here! I use Bluesky everyday just never post. Maybe I should change that
