In a brief behind the scenes update Jed and I are just now flying back from a trip up and down the coast of California.  We’ve been testing some exciting new camera gear you’ll be seeing in upcoming seasons of Jet Set Zero Quito and meeting up with the crew. We’re working on a video to tell the tale and show off the beautiful new look of the filming style, but  in the meantime here are some selected shots that help tell the story of the trip.

The new gear, in a big pile and just waiting for us to take it out.

We’ve spent a lot of time looking at how we shoot the show, and we decided it was time to try something new.  Also buying new stuff is pretty awesome.

The open road calling.  We landed in SF, headed down to LA, then Up to San Louis Obispo, then SF again, then finally to Grass Valley, Nevada City and back to SF.

After landing in SF and taking a quick nap it was straight out onto the open road.  Highway’s 5, 1 and 101 were where we spend most of the next few days shuttling between CA’s most fun-time cities.

Jed enjoys some coffee.  Then we head out on another day of driving.

We drank more coffee thank anything else.  So much coffee.

Everyone celebrates Daylight savings differently.  This was our choice this year.

I lied.  We drank more whiskey than anything else.

Walking back from shooting on top of Coit tower.  Also, it was a day for shades.

San Francisco was one of our longer days, but provided a lot of gorgeous opportunities to put the camera though its paces.  We’ll be posting more of the video and photos as soon as we’re not uploading them from 20,000 feet.
