Sony Alpha Creator | Cinematic Sony A7SIII
I've been filming for five years, and since 2021 I made the switch the Sony. It was the best decision, creatively. In 2022, I was asked by Sony to become a Sony Creator (Alpha Hybrid Shooter). This film shows some of my favourite clips since using Sony's A7Siii and their G Master II lenses and how they allow me to film in extreme conditions with ease. Art comes in many forms, and for me, I choose to express my creativity through film and live my life to the fullest by experiencing some of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. To live is to believe.

Stay tuned for Part 2 where I have filmed me talking to camera and screen recorded some of the film's scenes and shared how I have captured each moment and the stories behind each frame. I also share my process of why I chose to film and edit the way I do. Can't wait to share with you guys!

Your videos are beyond beautiful Elliot! Every single shot looks amazing. So many crazy conditions, with some shots I don't really get how you were able to film this (e.g the drone shot in Mojave Desert with crazy wind). I think I'm ready to buy a Sony camera after watching this :D

My tip with that would be, grade as how you see it first. Then sit with someone who isnt colour blind and get them to help out with finalising the grade. I think its good being colour blind it means your colours will be different to everyone else. Another option could be to buy some luts from you favourite creators
