No matter what your profession, it’s easy to get complacent. Especially when you’re good at what you do. You fall into a rhythm doing things the way you’ve always done them.

Stop it. Break that habit. I wear a lot of hats as a video producer and one of them is as videographer. I shoot most of what T60 produces, and I definitely find myself falling into a rhythm. I have a style I’m comfortable with, and it’s how I often find myself shooting without even realizing it.

I’m going to break that up a bit. I’m going to start experimenting with some new shooting styles.

I just finished watching the series finale of the NBC show Friday Night Lights. I have always loved the way the series was photographed, and I think it’s about time I incorporate some of those techniques into the PR/marketing videos we produce.

It doesn’t mean I’m abandoning my style y’all, it just means I’m going to add some new plays to the playbook.

Clear eyes, full hearts…
