So, I said to myself, why should he get all the fun? I also really wanted to know if the LUMIX GH5 II had the potential to become one of my next full time ”go to” cameras. Read on to find out!

They say that timing is everything, and I couldn’t agree more. The “reemergence” of expanded film and television production and movie theatre openings is right here and now and I couldn’t be more excited. Creativity and expanded technical excellence is evident throughout the production spectrum. One clear example of production on the move is the addition of three new Panasonic LUMIX Ambassadors to the fold. Recently I had the opportunity to get some great insight into the LUMIX Ambassador program from Shiori Kitaoka, Panasonic.

It's the most wonderful time of year. Yes, I'm referring to ProductionHUB's 2021 Awards of Excellence! You would think that after all this time putting the Awards of Excellence list together would be easy, right? Oh boy, not even close to easy. But that’s the way we want it. Just as in years past, our award recipients earned their place on this year's list due to their innovative technology and creativity. Products are always chosen on merit and innovative design.

As someone who is really into production equipment, I'm always on the lookout for whatever will help you do what you want to do on your production. My thoughts always circle around product performance and overall production value. This matters because what might be important to you might not be as important to another production pro. If you buy it or rent it, what can this product do for you and will it help you make more money?

When talking to production professionals like DP Carissa Dorson, I've found time and time again that there are certain topics such as creativity, work ethic, technical knowledge, and joy, that make their way into almost every conversation.

We caught up with Carissa as she was still immersed in production with A Little Late with Lilly Singh, currently airing on NBC.
