Having fun with the new editing set up... stitched together some of our recent drone footage from our visit in Santa Barbara with the fam. ✨⛵️ What do you think of short edits like this? Want more? Less? Tell us!

VERY exciting day aboard Avocet! If you follow our instagram stories you know that Chris’s laptop sent out it’s final edit a few weeks ago 💻🪦 in wake of its “death” we had the opportunity to upgrade to the @apple Mac M1 Mini which is the first apple silicon. It is a very powerful computer with less power consumption than our laptop! To accompany the computer Chris choose an @hp 10 bit monitor that is color calibrated for cinema colorists to do very accurate color renders (important because Chris is colorblind) 🎨 Since Chris is a professional cinematographer (@ctnvisual) and budding editor we knew that it was only a matter of time before something like this had to happen. We are excited to share the upcoming videos with you that *should* be absolutely next level! 🖥🎥✨
