I shot this video at Myakka River State Park with my Sony PMW-EX1 and Letus Ultimate this Park is one of Florida's oldest and largest state parks. The Florida Wild and Scenic Myakka River flows through 57 square miles of wetlands, prairies and woodlands. Myakka is popular for hiking, fishing, camping, and wildlife observation. I shot this short with the Sony PMW-EX1 and Letus Ultimate with Nikon manual 35mm film lenses to create the cinelook. I used mainly these lenses Nikon 300mm f2.8 tele with 2 x converter, 50mm f1.4, and the 24mm f2.0 wide angle. I shot most of this film in 720 24p in over crank mode (60 frames per second). A few of the shots were shot at 24p.
CHANGING SEAS Season II
Episode # 201 "No Fish Left Uncounted"
How do you count two fish, three fish or even a school of fish? In Dry Tortugas National Park, located 70 miles from Key West, Florida, a group of scientists have joined forces to conduct a massive fish census. In this unprecedented collaboration, experts from four different agencies unite to count and analyze fish data from select sites. Changing Seas follows highly-skilled science divers as they determine the size of fish populations in hopes of better understanding how fishing pressures and environmental changes affect populations of marine resources within the park.

He is a founding partner of strategy management firm Floridian Partners, he established Floridian Petroleum Developers in 2007 and sits on the board of US Century Bank.
