Cheaper Video Equipment

So I recently bought a Nikon D3100 to use for taking video footage. However, I soon found out that much more equipment than just a camera is needed to make really awesome shots. Things such as a follow focus, a slider, or a JIB, and a camera rig. None of these things are essential for shooting, but they are very helpful and specifically designed to get specific (and awesome) shots. In many cases the equipment I just listed is much more expensive than the camera itself. However, I found a pretty cool little website called indisystems.com They try and make good equipment which is also significantly cheaper than many other competitors. I still can't afford any of their stuff at the moment, but that's what student loans will do to you. That's not the point though; I applaud indi systems for actually trying to make quality products that many people could actually afford. I know this is a short post and I am basically just plugging a website, but I thought it was worth mentioning. to life, kf

So, I have accomplished one of my life long dreams. I finally own a scooter.

The awesome thing is that it is actually pretty vintage. It is not a new scooter designed to look retro its a legit older scooter. Its a 1981 Honda Passport C70.


I am pretty stoked about it. I put gas in it about 4 weeks ago and I still haven't filled it back up. Of course I only drive it around the camp, but still it's gonna last me quite a while.

I also have enjoyed working on it. Since owning it I have replaced the foot break for the back wheel and also fixed the idle. Right now I am in the process of painting it black. It's a fun project to work on because everything I am doing is just making it better, but it still runs this whole time.

Well That's about it for now. I hope life is treating everyone nicely.

Oh Brother

01 Oh Brother by Koreyfraz
Oh Brother how I fear for you
I know all the pain that you do
I see darkness as its coming too
And it's keeping me awake

Oh Brother I wish I could save you
And say all the things I'm supposed to
I'd do anything I could do
And it's keeping me awake

Well are we meant to fight alone
When we have somebody close?
And am I just being vain when I say
I'll carry you the whole dang way?
Oh Lord of my life
Why’s it gotta be this hard?
Give us Strength to find you
Whenever we're apart

Oh Brother how I miss you
You make me stand up so much taller
Though soon I may fall a bit harder
Yeah, it’s keeping me awake

Oh Brother please don't give up
No there's so much you will know
And you'll never cease to grow
It'll keep you wide awake

Are we meant to fight alone
When we have somebody close?
And am I just being vain when I say
I'll carry you the whole dang way?
Oh Lord of my life
Why’s it gotta be this hard?
Give us strength to find you
Whenever we're apart
