Welcome
Preston Kanak Online was developed as a resource for film-makers as well as a place to share our experiences with others - with the hopes of helping others avoid the mistakes we have made. We wanted to create a site where people could learn, share their work, share what they learn, ask questions & connect with other freelancers.
--
All content and it’s derivatives are from my personal experiences AND my ideologies as a shooter as well as the experiences of the authors. Canon’s (not the camera) do not exist as the formula/technology is always evolving. This website’s contents are primarily here as a resource to answer ANY questions you may have when shooting.
