It was a pleasure having our old friend @walkingpi It was a pleasure having our old friend @walkingpictures over to test out a build on the @sonycine FX-6.  Shadowcast’s @jayefilm and Andrew Sachs have been working with each other since 2006.  We strive to forge long lasting relationships like this.  Andrew was the DP on some of the first viral videos…before there were viral videos.  He is an extremely talented DP and in recent years has also become a very skilled producer.  You can find his latest work “Boys in Blue” on Showtime!  Also, thank you to PGR for loaning us an FX-6 in a pinch!  #sonycine #sonyfx6 #sigmacine #directorofphotography #producer #cameratest #lenstest #camerabuild #camerasbyshadowcast #shadowcastpictures
