The first week of football season is no joke. It’s Friday night and I’m sitting here waiting on a render jamming to the Rage Pandora station already 75 hours into my work week. I somehow managed to squeeze out this basketball recruiting video today for the team and thought I would share. It’s a mix of 16mm film, 5D, and 7D footage.
Vincent Laforet (an amazing still photographer and video powerhouse) has just released a gear list on his blog that could possibly lead me to homelessness. He includes all the latest DSLR video gear that any professional would die to have in their arsenal. He also notes what each piece is used for and why he uses it. A great reference for anyone looking to make a wish list.

Team Friendship represented well at the 2010 24 Hour Knoxville Film Festival for our film “Granted“. The competition was stiff, but our crew came home with “Best Cinematography” and “Best Director”. Thanks to everyone…Eric, Courtney, Tim, Chaney, Logan, Trevor, and Jeff for the hard work and awesome experience.
We won a 2 day jib and dolly rental as well as a 2 day RED Camera rental. Expect to see something very exciting from these tools this football season featuring a well known basketball player/rapper.
On August 17, 2010 I became part of a group of 7 co-workers that decided to enter a 24 hour short-film contest in Knoxville. At 7pm we were given 3 items that had to be included in our 4 minute short…1. A landlord 2. A dictionary 3. Must use the phrase “try to be incognito when you meet them”. For the next four hours we brainstormed and came up with this. While we were figuring out what to do I contacted my friend Jeff Beeler who starred and did an amazing job in the film. We ended up shooting until sunrise and editing until about 5pm the next day. The 22 hours flew by and now it’s time for some sleep. Enjoy.
**This film was awarded “Best Cinematography” and “Best Director” at the Knoxville 24 Hour Film Festival awards.

I grew up watching Warren Miller films fantasizing about what it would be like to have a camera in my hands shooting athletes in amazing locations.
Today that dream has become a reality. My name is Mark Billingsby. My day job is producing content for one of the largest collegiate athletic programs in the nation. I spend my free time doing CrossFit, riding bikes, and filming action sports. Welcome to Ridemade Media, a website created to share my experiences on and off the job.
