Summer Vacation 2024

Instead of commercial TV spots with big crews and decent production values, here’s something completely different…
I grew up on Florida’s East Coast. Every year, I fly down to the “Sunshine State” and spend time with my brother Gary. We do a lot of non-exciting things for a week or so. I then return to Pittsburgh.
I took my little DJI OSMO Pocket 3 camera with me to record a video remembrance. This segment is our boat trip with Gary’s daughter.
The video has no high-energy excitement or compelling visuals. Many might say it’s boring, but I enjoy spending time with Gary, especially since we’re both getting older.
TECH STUFF… For spontaneous filmmaking, you simply can’t beat DJI’s “Pocket 3”. I simply pulled the camera out of my pocket while flipping the LCD screen to turn it on, then pointed at my subject.
All footage was shot DJI LOG@24fps with auto exposure, auto focus, auto color. (I use a -.3EV exposure override) All audio was recorded via the Pocket 3’s internal mics. Editing and mixing via Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve using the DJI Pocket3 LUT.

I'm glad you're getting these much deserved vacations. I'm still just thrilled to know that you're still operating after all these years. Hope for many more great commercials!

Thanks so much for the kind thoughts... Still directing and photographing TV spots at 75!
