create
Hurlbut Visuals has a new, boutique production arm that currently generates short and documentary style pieces. We recently completed “The Ticket” short film, shot on the Canon 1DC in 4k for Canon, USA. This was preceded by the short film, "The Last 3 Minutes," which was selected by two Academy Award consideration film festivals. Our Behind the Scenes team also creates documentary-style BTS videos for our clients.
innovate
Shane Hurlbut, ASC has the innate gifts of trailblazing and pioneering. As a result, we have created a time efficient system for HDLSR cameras based on the design and ease of shooting with the ultimate capture medium: film. The Master Cinema Series is a method for rigging that is intuitive for both cinematographers and independent filmmakers to help deliver a project on time and on budget.
educate
The HurlBlog is the educational focus where Shane Hurlbut, ASC and guest bloggers share their practical knowledge and personally answer every question. The B&H Educational Series for Cinema is where Shane Hurlbut goes into specifics about shooting with HDSLRs. The Hurlblog Interview Series gives a personal glimpse into the companies whose gear we trust. Hurlbut Visuals HDSLR Bootcamp is a high-end master class offered annually, giving both small group instruction and practical shooting experience using a vast amount of gear. Upon completion of the course, there is certification by Shane Hurlbut, ASC. In the boutique Revolution Cinema Rentals division, hands-on learning happens every day with gear checkout and rig building.
