Finally saw Hilary Hahn last night. After 3 years of waiting. Like a swan in water and uses her whole body to play the violin. Like watching Zidane play soccer. A queen of pure mythos. Amazing.

Just heard the best concert I’ve ever experienced in terms of fidelity at the CSO! The Rite of Spring. Philippe Jordan conducting. Wow!

Last week the 22nd got my first time on dolly for PD. Today I finally figured out a double bowline knot after Steve M. showed me the knot on Fargo S4.

Working on a major film. Can’t really say yet what it is yet. Just wanted to post something since it’s been a while.

Finished Paper Girls season 1 last week! Now I’m back at it again shooting a wedding ceremony today!

Cant say what show I’m on, but it’s been great honing my skills as a dolly grip. Special thanks to Russ, Steve and Allen for supporting and allowing me the privilege, and to our grip crew that keeps it all going.

On his first day on 600 I get to work with one of my mentors in the video industry. Just by chance I get to be on dolly and thank one of my teachers, Bennett Spencer. The man who gave me a chance when no one else would!

Pulled focus for Bailey on this short comedy bit! Pure hilarity IMHO https://t.co/bRsXrPU78e

Worked on another indie music vid with RedBand Entertainment, worked with Val and Matt, and got to pull focus for Bayley. The content keeps getting better and better, which has been fun. https://t.co/4wQS4Cb4Ps

Got to AC for an upcoming music video for Ace da Vinci this Easter. I was so focused on task I didn’t have time to take a pic. I’ll share the vid when it comes out. I was impressed with Tom and Joe and how they managed to produce this vid.

Finally got my first full job as a dolly grip, and it feels pretty close to where I feel I belong. Thanks to all the people that supported me, and all the people that are against me- that struggle gives me the spirit to keep fighting.

If I could describe to you how many times my bunk mate woke me up to Get Rich or Die Tryin’ at 4:45am to do PT blastin at top volume ‘Jocko get up man! it’s time for PT! Get up man! Today I got to just say hello to Mr. 50 himself on Power Book Force IV, what a nice simple thing

We finished ‘Single Drunk Female’ pilot with 476- just last month, and got to analog dolly grip which was fun. Hope everyone is safe, and keeping safe. Today I’m shooting Cooking w Sandra lol

[Aren Vtes @aren_vtes]

Got to dolly grip a few days on Ordinary Joe pilot. Pretty fun and hard work. Everyone was supportive and got into a few high pressure situations. Thanks Steve and the rest of our crew!

[Aren Vtes @aren_vtes]

Worked this past Saturday with Andre. Just got on a pilot for Ordinary Joe. Hopefully I can keep learning to dolly grip- this should be fun.

[Aren Vtes @aren_vtes]

Our crew got a pic in the newspaper! Car rigging w/ Steve! https://t.co/qKOveztKOA
