A few months ago we purchased the DJI Inspire 2 Drone with the DNG RAW and Proress License for our video production company. It has blown away our expectations with image quality. We have been filming for BakerRipley in Houston and shooting in 6K RAW. The image is outstanding.

My favorite LUTS for the Sony A7sii Cine4 Picture Profile
This Cine4 picture profile has pretty much the same dynamic range as SLOG 3 without the exposure headaches and noise a lot of people run into. I can't remember how I found these LUTS but after some searching I came across James Miller's DELUTS. I love these LUTS and he gives you a bunch for the CINE4 profile that I really like. I have attached his preview video of the LUTS below.
Animating Characters in After Effects
GIGL TV was a fun project I had the privilege of working on this past year. During the project we needed to create a 3D animation but we were limited on time. We had to be able to create the animation in about 3 days and we weren't sure on what style to use. After some research I came across multiple animation styles but the only one that was going to work was the flat vector based 3D look.
A great way to create vector based animations is by using the puppet tool in Adobe After Effects. I did this for the first time on this project where we told the story of King David in the Bible. It was a simple way to make this story come alive in a way that really grabbed the kids attentions.
Illustrator allows you to create a really simple yet cool flat 3D look in After Effects. You create a parallax motion by staggering your illustrator files in 3D space which gives realism to the world and adds the feeling of depth. I followed this tutorial to make the animation.
