BTS | Every location had its own set of rules.

Our recent commercial for didn’t have a standard setup. Each location called for a different approach, a different camera system, a different lighting kit. Our DP knows when to build it out and when to strip it back, and that instinct made all the difference.

Some great problems solved. Some beautiful images to show for it.

Just available light and some negative. Follow the location, not the formula.

Back in the Saddle documents the rebuild of Texas Hill Country youth horse camps after catastrophic flooding devastated Kerr County on July 4th, 2025 — following the statewide effort to restore the equestrian programs that have shaped young Texans for generations.

For the majority of nearly a dozen interviews on this project, we used only a floppy and maybe a bounce. Simple but effective.

Local Super Bowl Commercial | Chad Jones Law

Some frames from a commercial campaign we produced for Chad Jones Law that aired across the Brazos Valley during this year’s Super Bowl.

Shot over 1.5 days on the ARRI Alexa Mini with Cooke S4/i Mini lenses, supported by a Ronin 2, car mounts, and a lean, agile crew that kept things moving.

Big game energy. Local impact.

Commercial | Together, We Stand as a Force for Good
Client: Texas A&M University |

Lighting diagram and BTS from the A&M commercial we worked on last year. This was one of the only locations on this project without any natural light, so we opted for a more involved setup to make sure this workshop didn’t feel too dark/moody compared to the rest of the piece.

Shot on Alexa Mini LF w/ Cooke Panchro 25mm.

Client: Texas A&M University |

Our G&E crew & helped craft this portrait look with owner Beaver Aplin.
The combination of the diffusion, a bit of wrap / return with an ultrabounce, some negative, and a bit of extra pop of sunlight from the reflector created this beautiful gradation of light across his face.
