Shane,
Your take on the festival is very refreshing. Steven Poster is awesome. I remember when I was in college talking to him via chat. It was really nice to find such a talented guy who was as approachable as he is. Not many shooters would take the time to go back and forth with a student at that time. The man is a gem.

In case people didn’t see this pertaining to ACT OF VALOR – Shane and crew could have eaten a stray bullet. Real bullets used.

Let’s all support Shane and spread the word about Act of Valor. That’s the least we could do for all his good will. Cheers.

KahL, Sundance was awesome this year. Great people and opportunities to boot. That is great news that you rocked it out at the lighting workshop. I will continue to give of my knowledge and experience. Keep crackin’ out there.

Andy Buys, I am so sad that we missed each other. Looking forward to getting back to Utah sooner than later. Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I look at it this way. I am very transparent. What you see is what you get. I give of my knowledge freely and love educating. Thank you for noticing. I will check your spots out.

Stan Evans, It was great meeting you as well. I love what I do and I love to show it. Hope to see you again next year.

This is just completely beautiful, Shane. So many talented folks all in one place.

I’ll most definitely see you guys there next year. Possibly even with a film or two to show for it :)

Oh and BTW, thank you also for contributed your mind and practices to us all via your site. I ended up going to a lighting workshop here in NYC and didn’t realize just how far ahead of the game I was coming from your school of thought. Even landed a friend who I’m collaborating with now on another short and music video.

Truly a mentor you are, my friend. Even from afar.

Shane,

I was told that I just barely missed meeting you at the festival! I guess you had a conversation with Ricky from the Utah Film Commission before I arrived. I’ve followed your blog and work for sometime now, and it would have been awesome to meet the man and legend behind it all! Oh well. I recently did a couple spots for the film commission (http://youtu.be/gC6WTtpG2CU?hd=1) using the 5dii and used many tips and techniques you write about here.

Anyways, thanks for being willing to share and talk about what you do online. I wish more top cinematographers did the same.

Cool :) I’ve been reading a few cynical thoughts about Sundance of late. NIce to get back to the spirit of it all and celebrate it. What an amazing world and time period we live in that we even have the luxury of being professional story tellers and artists. Healthy to stay grateful. Thanks as always for a great post Shane.

Best
