After more than a year of planning, principle photography has begun on “Southwest Light.” We left Orange County on Wednesday, Feb 24th, headed for the Palm Desert area of California, near Palm Springs. Pictured below is our 30-foot toy hauler trailer that will serve as the “mobile production headquarters” over the coming year.

Departing Orange County for a year on the road

Initially, we have been working the Joshua Tree / Palm Springs / Anza Borrego / Glamis area of Southern California, shooting all timelapse. Some pics…

It's really tough working in such beautiful environments!

First drivelapse results. Seeing this play at 1080p is a real jaw dropper

New gear from Canon is scheduled to arrive this weekend, including the Canon 1D Mark 4 DSLR, the EF 14mm 2.8 II and the EF 50mm 1.2. We are still waiting for our Red One MX movie camera, so our plans for locations over the next two weeks are still in flux. More updates soon!
