This thread's to share what you're most stoked about in the photo/film world. I know people are busy and have a lot of ideas that they want to pursue, and just haven't quite had the time yet to make it happen. Hopefully posting some things you want to film will help you to create some time to get it done.

To start things off--

- I just got back in touch with a friend that four wheels and is so sick at it. I already have a perfect song picked out and have been picturing the shots I'll get for the last day. Can't wait to start filming.

- Finally picked up a sandisk extreme pro 32gb 95mb/s SD card for my t2i and no longer have to worry about "filming has stopped automatically", makes me feel so much more confident when filming important things

- Just purchased a 3tb hard drive, so all my shits backed up!

share your giddyness

That was unnecessary Zac. I'm telling your mother to give you a time out.

Finally got my DIY slider done, so stoked on it. Sorry for the yellow, just snapped the photos quickly with a point and shoot. if you have any questions on how I made it, hit me up with questions. I designed and built the end feet so i have the design to share.

Dude, it's such a nice lens, right? I have loved mine ever since I got it.

...nonetheless, I'm probably going to trade it ha.

I was there yesterday. Make sure to look up. Some very interesting DDR-style architecture going on. As for the city itself, it was quite boring after a week of NYC, haha.

^ATH m50? I've got a pair of those, the sound is sooooo high quality. It's really nice to hear booming bass and crisp highs at the same time. I haven't mixed/produced on them in a while but they're so good for listening to music too.
You're justified in your stoke.

just bought a second mic stand, mostly so I don't have to transport the one in the studio as often. But it also gives me a very solid backup track while shooting in the studio. I always get nervous about getting good audio.

stoked my t2i didn't overheat after having a 2 hour shoot straight (stopping for 2 seconds or so every 12 minutes).

stoked on having backup audio solution for all my shoots, makes shooting a lot less stressful.

stoked on 10 shoots in the last 3 days and two more on Monday, time to hit the editing board

You should get a 5Dc and invest money in glass imo. With the 1000$ difference, you can buy some kick-ass glass.

Stoked that I just made the move to MEDIUM FORMAT!!!!!!!! It's been a long awaited goal, and I finally found the right camera/lens for the right price.

P6x7, 90mm F2.8, TTL Prism.

Found out last week that my boss is sending me to Canada with the Northeastern University basketball team to film a "Hard Knocks" like documentary.

I already have about 10 hours of footage of them preparing for the trip. And I'm pretty much going to be filming 10 hours a day for the 8 days I'm there. I then have to turn all of that into a 30-40 minute film. I'll be a one man team while I'm there in Canada, but I'm up for the challenge

All expenses for the trip are paid for and they're paying me a TON of money. I leave friday...I am beyond stoked
